Adding People
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 1:14 am
I have recently made it possible for people to add new people to the genealogies. First off:
There are a number of things to keep in mind, first of all I use a sort of "universal alphabet", so that names can be properly written in all available languages.
Gh = Ghayn غ
T~ = Eth ث
J~ = Hard "Ch" چ ች Oromo 'Ch'
Zh = Zhah ژ ዥ
J# = Glottal "Ch" ጭ Oromo 'C'
P# = Glottal "Pa" ጵ Oromo 'Ph'
N~ = "Nyah" ኝ Oromo 'Ny'
S` = Sawt ሥ
S# = Sad ص
D# = Dad ض
T# = Tah ط (like in Sult#aan or T#alxa) Oromo 'X'
Z# = Zah ظ
H# = Ta Marbutah ة
Aa = Long A
Ee = Long E
Ii = Long I
Oo = Long O
Uu = Long U
X = Hah ح
Kh = Kha خ
Dh = Dha ذ
Sh = Shin ش
C = Ayin ع
' = Hamza ء
This "universal alphabet" is essentially a modified form of the Somali alphabet.
Next the addition itself. Leave Nickname or Title blank if you don't know them, but Name is a required field.
