Agenda for Latin GP call on 10 September  2020 16:00UTC

 

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