Peter,
I'd like to make a summary of all these letters, by using the classification
found in the alphabets image for Azeri that you sent to the list:
sounds (phoneme) :
Latin 1923-1933; Latin 1933-1939;
Cyrillic 1939(may); Cyrillic 1939(aug)-1991;
Latin 1991 & 1992
/b/ :
Latin B; Latin B;
Cyrillic BE;
Latin B
/g/ :
Latin OI/GHA; Latin G;
~(Latin OI/GHA); ~(Latin G), then Cyrillic Ka cedilla, then Cyrillic Ka
vertical bar;
Latin G
/gh/ :
Latin G; Latin OI/GHA;
Cyrillic Gamma; Cyrillic gamma barred;
Latin G with caron
/i/-big :
Latin I; Latin I;
Cyrillic I; Cyrillic I;
Latin dotted I
/i/-short :
~(I+retroflex hook below); ~(Latin sixth ton);
Cyrillic soft sign "bl"; Cyrillic soft sign "bl";
Latin dotless I
/l/ :
Latin L; Latin L;
Cyrillic EL; Cyrillic EL;
Latin L
The approximations are noted by ~() above. But they keep the letters
distinctions in each of the 3 periods, until there are better assignments
for them in Unicode.
