Re: [m17n-list] [PATCH][SUGGESTION] Add some letters with dot below

[bd satish]

Hi,

A quick search on Wikipedia shows they they are also used in many
other cases, like transliteration of Afro-asiatic languages (like
Arabic-based), not just Sanskrit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B9%9A

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B8%B6

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B8%8C

Probably their principal use is for Sanskrit transliteration, but
certainly not limited to that. In that case, I see no problem in
adding to latin*.mim



Thanks & Regards,
Satish
