Dear Latin GP members,
We have got some response from our colleagues in Africa on the usage of Kirundi. It seems like the characters with diacritics are not generally used, please see the Kirundi news website,
http://ubumwe.ppbdi.com [ubumwe.ppbdi.com].
They might be used in poems or other special purposes. However, based on the LGR procedure, it is clear to follow the conservatism and these could be exclude from the repertoire. If in the future there are evidence
of usage, these can be added back then.
This is for your consideration and decision.
