Dear L members,



I am currently typing some texts in African languages, Mandinka among 
others. The project idea was, that the text would be easier understandable 
for people that are not English literate when made available in their mother 
tongue.  Many people however said they speak Mandinka, but have no idea 
about writing it. Therefore, when showing the text to some Mandinka people, 
most were quite confused with the special signs like ñ and ¿ for example ñi¿ 
(this). Instead they would have preferred njing.  I am therefore thinking of 
typing it without any special signs.



I am looking forward to your comments.



Best regards

Angelika Prox-Dampha Manneh
