Agenda for Latin GP call on  September the 24th, 2020 16:00UTC

 

  1. Forth round - Report finalization In-script variant (Section 6.1 – 6.3.1.6, and relevant appendices) check for errors.

DECIDE what to do with Latin small letter I with grave and Latin small Letter I with hook.

See Pitinan’s mail from September 22nd, Subj: Summary of Previous discussion on consistency regarding Grave and Hook Above
The files for Latin LGR package are upload to OneDrive for your review in the Reviewing Version folder. For review use 00-proposal-latin-lgr.docx  and  proposal-lgr-latin.html.

  1. Report finalization – Cross-script variants and other consideration (Section 6.3.2- 6.5, and relevant appendices)
  2. During test data production Bill found the following:
    „    In the course of this, I came across the Serer language (ISO 639-3 srr).  It isn't in our list of languages included, but it is EGIDS 5 and has roughly 1.2 million native speakers so it would appear to fit our criteria.  Also the Kpelle language (ISO 639-3 kpe), which is also EGIDS 5 and has about 1.4 million native speakers. 

 

Adding Serer would entail adding 3 code points for Serer to the repertoire: 

U 0188  Small Letter C with Hook  ƈ 

U 01A5  Small Letter P with Hook  ƥ  

U 01AD  Small Letter T with Hook  ƭ 

 

For Kpelle we would also need to add: 

U 0260  Small Letter G with Hook  ɠ 

 

We might pick up a couple of Variants as well.  For example, a P with Hook (ƥ) resembles a Thorn (þ) far more than a P alone does. “

  1. Code points like “s” and “ട” (U+0D1F) Malayalam letter
  2. Test data production
