News

Dec 2020: Writing System pages now include additional information for each language tag associated with the writing system. This is presented under the heading: Subtags for this writing system. More details are to be found in this blog post.

May 2020: Keyman keyboards now support more than 1800 languages. We have generated Keyboard Entries on all those language pages with links to the relevant Keyman keyboards for each language.

April 2020: We have updated our Language and Writing System pages using data from the latest release of Ethnologue, the 23rd edition.

March 2020: The character data on ScriptSource has recently been updated from the latest release of Unicode data, Unicode 13.0.

April 2019: We have changed the source for our information on writing systems, showing which languages use which scripts. This information is now derived from SIL's database of language tags on  GitHub.

February 2019: We have updated our locale data, such as character lists, and the names of the months of the year, and the days of the week. Our data sources for this are the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) Release 34, and SIL's own Locale Data Repository (SLDR).
