Talk:Shahmukhi

message: I thought shahmukhi's primary use was for Punjabi in Pakistan but I'm not expert. In any case I think this page should mention that that language also uses the gurmukhi and devanagari scripts. — Hippietrail 01:18, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm no expert, but I think it uses a couple of extra characters.  Whether Unicode has these characters is another thing altogether.   See: . Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 12:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

text: That's excellent!  If you could find out more about the relation between Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi that'd be cool too.  Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 12:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Right I have been looking like mad for a Punjabi book that uses any letters beyond the 36 of Urdu and I have not found one. I have found the official texts used by Punbaj Textbook Board and they too do not use these extra letters. Furthermore I spoke to my Father's Sister's Husband who is a Punjabi literature buff (both in Shahmukhi and Gurumukhi) and he says he has never seen these extra letters in anything he has come across. If anyone knows where these extra letters might be used I'd be much obliged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahassan05 (talk • contribs) 
:I've found the following two listed under Lahnda in the Unicode charts:
::ڰ Arabic Letter Gaf with Ring [06B0]
::ڋ Arabic Letter Dal with Dot below and Small Tah [068B]
:And these under Siraiki:
::0759 – Arabic letter dal with two dots vertically below and small tah (Siraiki) 
::0768 – Arabic letter noon with small tah (Siraiki)
:Could any of these be the 'missing characters'? Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 01:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a side note, there is a unique Punjabi sound Rra () which isn't present in Hindi (and therefore probaby not Urdu either) so maybe that is one of the letters?  Also the other marks could be tonal identifiers? Whether or not they are used on printed material is another matter though.  All that may be available are Urdu typesetting tools, and that could be the reason why all the signs use the standard Urdu alphabet.  Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 01:13, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

text: No, the rra is written with ڑ, and is present in Urdu.

replies: text: I’m inclined to take down these “phantom characters” that no one can find, but the Asian Language Resource Center at the University of Chicago says that Punjabi has some letters Urdu doesn’t… so though it doesn’t say which, I’m hesistant to just rip ’em down. APNA, too, says there are “minor modifications” to the Urdu alphabet. Though it doesn’t state what, exactly, those modifications are, I think we can assume it’s those extra three letters listed, until someone comes out with evidence to the contrary. Maybe it should be mentioned on the page that these Punjabi-specific letters are rarely used…? —Wiki Wikardo 19:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The image is informative but messy.  I'm sure that it can be put into a nice tidy table.  I might do it myself (although I'd have trouble finding all the characters).  Once it's done, the image should be deleted from Wikipedia.  Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 19:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi!
a) I am puzzled what numerals (using what UTF-8 values) are used with the Shahmukhi script. There might be more then one (Arab, Latn etc.)..Please see also user talk:לערי ריינהארט#Shahmukhi numerals about some work at https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most-perfect_magic_square where transliterations for a dozen of ISO 15924 scripts as Latn including Roman numerals and binary, Deva, Guru, Arab, Armn, Beng, Grek, Gujr, Hans · Hant · Jpan, Hebr, Knda, Kore, Mlym, Taml, Telu, Tibt and maybe some more.
b) What scrip from ISO 15924#List of codes: is used for the Shahmukhi alphabet?
Thanks in advance for your support! lɛʁi ʁɑjnhɑʁt (Leri Reinhart)
