LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM Name of requester : Peter Constable E-mail address of requester: Tag to be registered : tg-Arab English name of language : Tajik in Arabic script Native name of language (transcribed into ASCII): tojiki Reference to published description of the language (book or article): Tajik is often written today in Cyrillic script, though Arabic script was predominant prior to 1928 and is still used today, and Latin script has also been in use since 1928. It is often required, when matching languages, to select a subset of documents written in a particular script. When looking up language resources, this is even more important, so that text in different scripts is not mixed. Thus, it is important to be able to distinguish between scripts used in writing tg: tg-Arab vs. tg-Cyrl, etc. References: http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/profiles/proft01.htm http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tajik.htm http://www.ozodi.org/ (Cyrillic script) http://www.language-museum.com/t/tajiki.htm (Cyrillic script) http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/pet.htm (Arabic script) ======== (created 12 April 2005) []
