Request for Wotapuri-Katarqalai language code wsv for use in lexemes and monolingual text
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

This is a Dardic language of Afghanistan. Since the code wsv is not used often it should be specified that this would be for right-to-left Arabic script text as is typical for languages of Afghanistan.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

Turner's Comparative Dictionary of the Indo-Aryan Languages has a number of interesting entries which describe the relationship of Wotapuri with other Indo-Aryan languages. These can be represented in lexicographical data.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

Provide public domain data pertaining to a scarcely documented language.
