All: The convention in Styles & Formatting is for writing systems to be a sub-division of the languge. EG: Turkish (Arabic), Turkish (Latin), Turkish (Cyrrilic).
For writing systems that are used mainly/exclusivly for accessibility reasons, there are two possible options: a) * language (Braile) * language (Moon) * Languge (usual writing system b) * Moon * Braille Grade 1 * Braille Grade 1.5 * Braille Grade 2.0 * Braille Grade 2.5 * Braille Grade 3 * Nemeth Code * Music Code The advantage of the first option -- language (Braille) --- is that Braille (or Moon) dictionaries can be used for each languge. The disadvantage is that the number of languages/writing systems automatically triples, if not more. The disadvantage of the second option is that it requires Braille, or Moon to either be monolingual, or no spellchecking/grammar checking be done for the second, and subsequent languages in a document. A third option would be to increase the number of "user languages" to 10, or more. ######### On a related note, should ASL be assigned as a languge without locale (as Interlingua and Esperanto), or remain totally ignored? xan jonathon -- Ethical conduct is a vice.
