Azerbaijani (Cyrillic) Kazakh (Cyrillic) Kyrgyz (Cyrillic) Tajik (Cyrillic) Tatar (Cyrillic) Uzbek (Cyrillic) about scriptshifter

• ә -> ă: the issue is with the source letter, which in the reporter's text is ə (Latin Small Letter Schwa, U+0259) while Scriptshifter has a configuration entry for ә (Cyrillic Small Letter Schwa, U+04D9)
• ј, ҹ are not a problem, correct?
• и (U+0438), ы (U+044B): these are bona fide table errors. Azerbaijani inherits from _cyrillic_base, and these letters are not defined in either table.
• y in мəҹмyеси: this is also an issue with the source string, which has is a Latin "y" letter rather than ү (U+04AF), which is correctly mapped in both upper- and lowercase.

Greetings Matt and Stefano,
As I was looking though this post and preparing to the meeting with Rachel today, it suddenly occurred to me why it was decided not to include Azeri Latin in the script shifter. What was this decision based upon. we are talking about few peculiar letters and some diacritics. I realize that this might not be one of your top priority languages but if it doen't need much work then why not? Thanks. Muzhgan.

I just met with Muzhgan about these issues.

• I agree with Muzhgan that adding a handful of Latin letters might be worth our time. Someone using U+0259 in Azerbaijani they are transliterating almost certainly means to use U+04D9. As a test to make sure I am doing the process correctly, I am adding that to the table, in upper and lower case, in only the script_to_roman section because that is the only area the mistaken character is significant. Please let me know what you think.
• @scossu, you are correct, ј and ҹ are not a problem.
• Thank you for adding those letters!
• Since an accidental Latin "y" (U+0079) could be intended to be "у" (U+0443) or "ү" (U+04AF) in Azerbaijani, it is not as simple to assume what letter is meant, so I did not add anything for that.
• This would need to be entered as a different issue if possible, but would it be possible to add a flag when there are untransliterated Latin-block Unicode characters, or highlight them in some way in the output? Apologies if that has already been discussed in an office hours and I forgot.

Dear Stefano, We just worked on Azeri script with Rachel and did not touch any other scripts mentioned. Thank you. Muzhgan.

Dear Muzhgan,

That is okay, I think the title was from the list of language experts, I do not think Stefano thinks all of those scripts are now perfect. We will add new tickets/issues to track the specific problems you find in the other languages, or if you find new issues with Azeri script.

Thank you,
Rachel
