Hi! HP> The Windows cyrillic codepage (cp1251) covers only slavic languages, not the HP> cyrillic-alphabet based turkic ones.
> Correction: cp1251 covers only Russian alphabet, which is a subset of >cyrillic alphabets. For example, there are ex-Yuogoslavia languages, which >use also other letters, which not presnet in Russian not cp1251. Correction: cp1251 **does** cover other slavic languages. The bulgarian alphabet, for instance, is a subset of the russian one. That already makes 2 slavic languages. Besides, cp1251 covers macedonian, bosnian, serbian, belorusian and ukrainian. I could point you which cp1251 codepoints present the extra cyrillic letters for the alphabets above. Bosnian has recently achieved status of independent language; it shares the same alphabet with serbian. Both languages, along with croatian, can be written either with the latin or with the cyrillic alphabet, though croatian uses primarily the latin alphabet, serbian uses primarily the cyrillic alphabet and bosnian uses either one or the other - I don't know which one they use most. The languages that (standard) cp1251 does *not* cover are all non-slavic languages written with the cyrillic alphabet (as well as slavic languages written with the latin alphabet). Among them, are many languages spoken on the asian part of Russia, languages spoken on ex-USSR republics, mongolian and even some chinese languages.
