Second draft: How to process Latin letters in specific languages
by Mirjana Tasić Feb. 1, 2017

Feb. 1, 2017

Dear Latin GP members, I have uploaded new version of the table with EGIDS=3,4 languages. There are 86 languages in the table for processing. The link to the table is https://docs.google.com/document/d/13t67htDfalz5DgGVtU19RJAYvj8JLXDuZmOwirs… I, also made some instructions how the processing of letters in selected languages could be done Please look at the instructions and help me to improve them. The link to the instructions in Google docs is https://docs.google.com/document/d/11f-WaDQuBAj9O9JqHQp-s6t-cWcJjjhHuj3OZ0y… As I looked a little bit in the table and procedure, my opinion is that every willing member could take at least 10 languages for processing. Processing 10 languages will give us better estimation how much time is needed for all languages. I am asking willing members to send me a note , and I shall allocate to each willing member a block of 10 languages in the table. Regards Mirjana

Proposal - How to proceed with attesting Latin letters in MSR2 using available sources, starting from language alphabets side
by Mirjana Tasić Jan. 27, 2017

Jan. 27, 2017

Here are some thoughts how the attestation can be done. Please, feel free to comment, correct, add some ideas… Regards Mirjana ________________________________________________________ Proposal - How to proceed with attesting Latin letters in MSR2 using available sources, starting from language alphabets side: For every language, some information on the alphabet used by that language could be found starting from http://www.omniglot.com/writing/langalph.htm and browsing every individual entry for languages listed in the section which shows the languages using Latin script. Every letter in the specific alphabet should be investigated and checked against Latin part of MSR2 with attestation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tu_WfZ2OAYmzUMmU3Ys9pxPafd_YQ35XBCNUpYV…> . There are three possible cases: 1. If the letter is previously marked with CLDR in column Ref in the table Latin part of MSR2 with attestation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tu_WfZ2OAYmzUMmU3Ys9pxPafd_YQ35XBCNUpYV…> , this letter has to be skipped, it is attested. 1. If any letter (without CLDR in column Ref) is found, the row in the table must be filled with available information. 1. If any new letter, which is not in the table Latin part of MSR2 with attestation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tu_WfZ2OAYmzUMmU3Ys9pxPafd_YQ35XBCNUpYV…>, would be found, it has to be added at the end of table with all available information. 1. Minimum set of information on specific letter that has to be filled in the table Latin part of MSR2 with attestation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tu_WfZ2OAYmzUMmU3Ys9pxPafd_YQ35XBCNUpYV…>, are: * Unicode code * Glyph (if the source allows copy/paste function) * Example of language using the code point * UNICODE character name * Comment on the sources which provided relevant information

How the table with languages using Latin script had been produced
by Mirjana Tasić Jan. 27, 2017

Jan. 27, 2017

Dear GP members , Here are some information on how I produced the table in question. I. The table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIu…> Main source for languages using Latin script was http://www.omniglot.com/writing/langalph.htm In the middle of this page there is a non-exhaustive list of languages using Latin script, which I took and used it to form the main row (Language) in the table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIu…> All the other columns are filled using copy/paste function and getting information about every language using: * Link from the http://www.omniglot.com/writing/langalph.htm that is providing the information on alphabet used by the language * Some data on languages could be found in Wikipedia<https://www.wikipedia.org/> * The data for the columns in the table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIu…> ISO 639-3 Classification Population EGIDS Language map are collected form the site https://www.ethnologue.com/browse/names browsing the entry for every individual language, and copying relevant information in the table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIu…>. I must admit, I had no time to double check all the information, so there might be some mistakes in the table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIu…>. This task took me three months to fulfill. Regards Mirjana
