U+1878 MONGOLIAN LETTER CHA WITH TWO DOTS[edit]

U+1878 MONGOLIAN LETTER CHA WITH TWO DOTS was added with Unicode 11.0. I'm not sure where it should be added in the "Presentation forms" section of this article and with which title. https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17007-n4781-mongolian.pdf states "This dotted form of the letter cha is used to indicate that it is pronounced as š rather than č, reflecting Buryat pronunciation practice which differs significantly from Classical Mongolian." So, does it go under SH or CH? Also, is "Buryat" a good enough title if the Unicode proposal is cited? DRMcCreedy (talk) 21:32, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should go in a separate row with the letter labelled "SH š", and as it is an extension of the basic Mongolian set, the subset should be "Basic", with an annotation that is used for Buryat. BabelStone (talk) 08:42, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the suggested edit. Take a look and adjust it if I have anything wrong. Thanks. DRMcCreedy (talk) 15:49, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ali Gali letters[edit]

I've added a table of presentation forms for the Ali Gali letters U+1880-18AA (excluding U+18A9 because it's a non-spacing mark) but I feel out of my depth here. Can someone familiar with Mongolian script look it over and give me feedback:

  • Are the letters in the right groups (vowels, signs/marks, and consonants)?
  • Are the letters in the right order within the three groups?
  • Am I missing any defined positional forms? Do I erroneously have any non-defines forms lists?
  • FYI: I feel strongly about having the signs/marks section even though they don't have positional forms because
    • it gives me a logical place to put the standardized variants for U+1880 and U+1881
    • they are categorized as letters in the Unicode character database
