Only if it starts being used with a distinct language or an exclusive orthograph. Are there different orthographs or word distinctions possible in fraktur/black letter, that are not possible with a 1-to-1 mapping to the Latin script? Was a new orthograph (defined as a spelled enumeration of letters, independantly of the way letters were vocalized, something that often varies even within the same written language in the same script) used with fraktur? __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
