[Latingp] How the table with languages using Latin script had been produced

[Mirjana Tasić]

Dear GP members ,

Here are some information on how I produced the table in question.


I.                    The table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIumXeA/edit?usp=sharing>

Main source for languages using Latin script was

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/langalph.htm

In the middle of this page there is a non-exhaustive list of languages using Latin script, which I took and used it to form the main row (Language) in the table  00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIumXeA/edit?usp=sharing>

All the other columns are filled using copy/paste function and getting information about every language using:

  *   Link from the http://www.omniglot.com/writing/langalph.htm   that is providing the information on alphabet used by the language
  *   Some data on languages could be found in Wikipedia<https://www.wikipedia.org/>
  *   The data for the columns in the table  00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIumXeA/edit?usp=sharing>

ISO 639-3

Classification

Population

EGIDS

Language map


are collected form the site https://www.ethnologue.com/browse/names
browsing the entry for every individual language, and copying relevant information in the table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIumXeA/edit?usp=sharing>.

I must admit, I had no time to double check all the information, so there might be some mistakes in the table 00-LatinLanguages-A-Z-V04-EGIDSOrder<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1msQXRnl3Fl4voIcoerBO1eSBsdtbbgn0LSjsUIumXeA/edit?usp=sharing>. This task took me three months to fulfill.



Regards Mirjana
