Roozbeh, Thank you for that clarification. I still would not want to deploy an assumptive table. Do you know of anyone working on a table for Tajik? Also, have you had any involvement in an Arabic table?

But it has three different and separate orthographies, one using Latin, one using Cyrillic, and one using Arabic. I can tell you that because I read Tajik. I can also be considered a native speaker somehow, since I speak Persian, that Tajik is sometimes considered a dialect of. roozbeh
