@bgo-eiu The data originally comes from the CLDR https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/aa0dd5acb1e68876c730e90ef6cb43cfc4d7006f/common/main/pa_Arab.xml#L32-L36. These changes look likes they are replacing ڻ used in Panjabi [pa] by ݨ which is used in Saraiki [skr] or Western Panjabi [pnb], and adding ࣇ which is used in Western Panjabi [pnb]. Should these changes be a separate language data file for Western Panjabi If this is indeed for Eastern Panjabi [pan], do you have a reference. Lorna Priest Evans and M. G. Abbas Malik, Proposal to encode ARABIC LETTER LAM WITH SMALL ARABIC LETTER TAH ABOVE in the UCS, 2019 shows ݨ being used in Punjabi but it does indicate Western Punjabi uses the Arabic script (Shahmukhi) and hasn’t been standardized. I’m leaning towards creating a separate file for Western Panjabi [pnb]. |
These updates are concerned with correcting the set of characters used for the language. When I have time in the future, I will add sample text as well that mirrors that of the Punjabi Gurmukhi file. Thank you
