Dear all, The berber alphabet tifinaghe, worked out by l'Institut Royal of the Amazighe Culture (IRCAM, http://www.ircam.ma/) and contributed by P. Andries from Canada , was officially recognized as a part of the basic multilingual Plan by the Organisation Internationale of Standardization (ISO). The coding of Tifinaghe, which contains 54 characters plus a diacritic character and 25 empty codes for future rearrangements, was submitted to l'ISO and accepted with unanimity at its meeting to Markam (Ontario/Canada) on 21-25 june. The coding of Tifinaghe-IRCAM, should be included soon in amendement-1 of ISO 10.646 then in UNICODE. See the announcement in http://www.ircam.ma/fr/actualite/rietifinaghe2004.asp See also the new documents from ISO IEC (http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/latestdocs.html) and the annoncement N2739-1 <http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2739-1.pdf> on 2004-06-07 http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2739-1.pdf (Others http://cooptel.qc.ca/~pandries/propo_tifinagh.pdf http://pages.infinit.net/hapax/pdf/Compte_rendu_Nait-Zerrad.pdf ) May be François Yergeau has more to add?
