Member Mån… Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi, I’m looking for resources on typesetting in Somali. Googling has yielded information about the Somali alphabet, but nothing on punctuation, capitalisation, spacing etc. Do you have any suggestions, online or in print? /Måns Link to comment
Solution Member Ric… Posted November 21, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 21, 2022 Are you talking about Osmanya or Somali Latin? I don't know of specific resources, but the Somali section on the PanAfrican Localisation Resource could be a place to start. You can also try to contact the people mentioned in these articles on pan-African typefaces: Pangea (scroll at the bottom) and Questrial. Link to comment
Member Mån… Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 I was referring to Somali Latin. Specifically, among the things I am interested in is knowing what kind of quotation marks are used. I also note that Indesign has no Somali dictionary (neither Western nor Middle East version). I tried downloading hunspell dictionaries from other sources, but couldn’t get them to work. I will see if I can get in touch with the Pangea and Questrial folks. Thank you! Link to comment
