RE: I want make new LANG for maldives

Hello sinHoot,

 

I'm not entirely sure that I understand your question, but if you are asking
whether 

 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="mv" lang="mv"
dir="rtl">

 

(with dir="rtl") is a good way to start a document using Thaana, I would say
yes.

 

You should then use UTF-8 for the document encoding and specify the Thaana
font in the CSS style sheet.

 

Hope that helps,
RI
