It is interesting subject.
To the best of my knowledge, Ossetian language at present mainly uses
Cyrillic alphabet, though some texts are in written in Mkhedruli, as
shown on the example provided by Werner Lemberg (and some even have
used Latin, I think).
Werner, do you happen to know if there are any additional characters
needed for Ossetian?
