Greetings All,
For those with an interest in East African orthography it seems
to have taken a leap forward with the release of a Somali spell
checker. The spell checker works on Somali transcription conventions
and not Somali script (which is dead to the best of my knowledge):
The Somalis have been both very active and very strict in their
use of Latin transcription on the Internet. For this ASCII
practice to have lead to a spell checker may be unprecedented.
Similarly, an Oromo thesaurus has recently become available
using Qubee transcription (which did not originate from internet
practices):
Localization fans take note!
