Questions for Vietnamese language experts
by Dillon, Chris Nov. 13, 2015

Nov. 13, 2015

Dear colleagues, I have drafted the following questions for Vietnamese language experts after our Tuesday meeting: == The Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository) lists the following letters for Vietnamese: a à ả ã á ạ ă ằ ẳ ẵ ắ ặ â ầ ẩ ẫ ấ ậ b c d đ e è ẻ ẽ é ẹ ê ề ể ễ ế ệ f g h i ì ỉ ĩ í ị j k l m n o ò ỏ õ ó ọ ô ồ ổ ỗ ố ộ ơ ờ ở ỡ ớ ợ p q r s t u ù ủ ũ ú ụ ư ừ ử ữ ứ ự v w x y ỳ ỷ ỹ ý ỵ z (See www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/28/summary/vi.html<http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/28/summary/vi.html> .) 1. Are any other letters in use? 2. Some of the diacritics are used to indicate tone – is Vietnamese ever written with a simpler set of Latin letters without tone marks? (For example, Pinyin Běijīng is sometimes written as Beijing, without tone marks.) 3. Are some of the letters listed not in use? == I would really welcome your improvements.

Dillon, Chris has shared a OneDrive file with you. To view it, click the link below. [icon] Latin part of MSR2 with attestations v2.docx<https://onedrive.live.com/redir?page=view&resid=B7D054D739DE5C9D!34732&auth…> Dear colleagues, Please use the attached version of the Latin part of MSR2 in preparation for Tuesday's meeting, as version one was missing some code points. Incidentally, currently code points in Latin Extended Additional are not included in the file, but will be in the near future. The discussion of the file will form the main part of the agenda on Tuesday.

Dillon, Chris has shared a OneDrive file with you. To view it, click the link below. [icon] Latin part of MSR2 with attestations v1.docx<https://onedrive.live.com/redir?page=view&resid=B7D054D739DE5C9D!34701&auth…> Dear colleagues, In response to the actions of our face-to-face meeting, I have started a draft of attestations for the Latin part of MSR2 (attached), i.e., the list of letters in yellow in the Latin part of msr-2-non-cjk-13apr15-en.pdf (I omitted a-z). The languages I have chosen are roughly speaking the languages using the code points with the greatest numbers of speakers. I would be grateful for your comments (especially on lines in red in the table) either before or during our meeting. For example, are you aware of a language with an EGIDS score (or a higher one) that uses the code point in question? (Reference: www.ethnologue.com/browse/names<http://www.ethnologue.com/browse/names> ) Our next meeting is scheduled for UTC 17:00 on Tuesday 10 November. Please let me know if the time is not convenient.
