Old Church Slavonic

edit

How to go about adding support for Old Church Slavonic and Church Slavonic for this template?

Unicode 5.1 recently added quite a few characters to properly support these, and there are only a few fonts available with partial support so far. More info at wikt:Appendix:Old Cyrillic alphabet and wikt:Appendix talk:Old Cyrillic alphabet.

These languages both (unfortunately) share language codes cu/chu/chu, and are supposed to be used with the script code Cyrs (see Early Cyrillic alphabet), which has different typographic standards from the modern Cyrillic alphabet (Cyrl). In case it matters, Old East Slavic (orv) and other languages may require or optionally use this script.

A suitable font list currently would be "Menaion, Menaion Medieval, Dilyana, Code2000, Lazov", but due to incomplete support would have to be updated as soon as better fonts are available. A larger font size would be beneficial too, since these fonts are very small. This should probably be applied in all browsers, not just MSIE, because the set of code points used overlaps with regular Cyrillic, and a mix of font families would be unreadable and terribly ugly.

A suitable short name for this would be Slavonic, which is commonly used in a historical and academic context.

Thanks for any advice. Michael Z. 2008-05-06 22:36 z

I gave it a try. Please see {{Slavonic}}Michael Z. 2008-05-08 06:54 z

Thai alphabet for Northern Thai language

Can you add Thai alphabet for Northern Thai language?

  Not done (as to the immediate edit request)) as the target page, Template:Script/Thai, does not exist. This discussion section can still be used to discuss the request for improvement, and someone may take up this idea and develop it in the meantime. — xaosflux Talk 11:44, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Script template inside lang templates?

edit

Hey all, I wanted to clarify if there is any reason to use this template inside lang templates (e.g. as done here), or is that redundant?
(I've generally not seen this done before, but I'm not clear on what the script template really does either.) R Prazeres (talk) 15:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
