Please Add the support for Paxto Language
Hello there!
I want to request you to add the support for Romanized Pashto which is not based on Perso-Arabic written system. It is the writing system used by native Paxto or Pashto speakers living outside Afghanistan & Pakistan. After support is provided here in translatewiki, enable us translate the interface into Romanized Paxto or Pashto.
thanks
Ethnologue mentions nothing about this language using Latin script, so I'm not inclined to add support for it.
Yeah thats true that Ethnologue doesnt mention such thing. But Ethnologue doesnt mention everything as well and some of the information mentioned is not correct for example Waneci is not a Pashto dialect. It is a separate language. There are only three dialects of Pashto language Northern, Central and southern dialects.
People on the Unicode / CLDR mailing list indicate that using the Latin script is frowned upon and only used in the context of mobile phones Internet and at that hardly at all. Does not make me (us) enthusiastic to support it. Thanks,
Here i post some links and i hope they are enough to be considered as proper sources and can answer to your questions that you might have in your mind.
