It's hard to say. Some people would want a full e-commerce website for 2-5K and other companies would spend 25K. Know your value and take it if you can justify it.

i'm no type designer so i don't know the specifics of what the process entails, but a custom complete non-latin typeface seems more than a 5k job on principle alone.
if it's a 6wk job minimum i don't see how 20k is a bad quote, especially if it's a big brand. chances are they'll get 20k worth of use out of it within the first year.

Is it a font for internal use that they might use on invoices, print material, whatever OR is it more of a display font?
If you're producing a font for regular use requiring good kerning pairings and everything and legibility at small sizes is crucial 20K isn't off for your skills. If it's display for posters or a few applications, then 5K seems reasonable.

Font for regular use in their monthly publication - it will be a display/heading font not for body. It is everyday regular use and would be seen on multiple platforms possibly.
It does require extensive programming, as the foreign language has many character variations, ligatures based on where the letter/word. The characters probably number around 300.
