The quoted line splitting is a bit flawed. (Normally, I'd just edit it myself or omit it, but just to remind you ....)

English letters? You mean digraphs ("u:")? Or is there other functionality you wanted tested there? (I know you're not directly talking to me, just wondering.)

Besides, (just to pretend to be smart) it's a modified Roman alphabet. (The Romans didn't have 'j', 'u', or 'w'. Even Esperanto calls 'w' "gxermana vo", i.e. "Germanic".)

Someone should ask MarcoV (or maybe Eric Auer) for more advice. They're more educated than I am. (I found a book called _Old English and Its Closest Relatives_ for sale online, which basically compares "Gothic, Old Norse, Old Saxon, Old English, Old Frisian, Old Low Franconian, and Old High German"!!) I pointed Eric to Beowulf online a while back, saying it (unsurprisingly??) sounded like Swedish (although I don't speak/read that either).

Sorry if that's somewhat off-topic, but that's what this reminds me of.

No, but there was never much non-English posting here, was there? (I don't and shouldn't demand it, obviously.)
