@confluency @komos @pierogiburo We don't use v in Gàidhlig...

@confluency @komos @pierogiburo We don't use v in Gàidhlig though. We replace it with bh in loan words. And I'm confused about why i is listed as being in Gàidhlig but not Irish, as it definitely appears in Irish words. The easy way to distinguish them is accent direction.

Also missing Cornish and Manx, as far as I can see. I can understand wanting to pretend Manx orthography doesn't exist (😜) but Cornish doesn't deserve the omission.

@confluency @komos @pierogiburo Wait, unless the b G R v is just supposed to mean that it's in the Latin alphabet?

@catmcintyre @komos @pierogiburo No, I think it really is supposed to indicate the presence of those specific letters -- so it looks like a mistake, if you don't ever use them, even in foreign words.

@confluency @catmcintyre @komos @pierogiburo I think it is "do you see anything that looks like b G R or v". If you see any one of these (not necessarily all of them), you are looking at something written in latin alphabet. Other letter shapes could have lookalikes in cyrillic, greek, or other scripts, so these specific 4 were chosen

@confluency @catmcintyre @komos @pierogiburo I have understood as a reference to "Latin alphabet" too (that'd explain the mix of capital and small letters)
