Talk:Rejang alphabet

message: Copied from User:Evertype#Rejang script:
Hi, I was working on Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations and encountered the Rejang script article. It seems to be a direct copy & paste from  which you also used as a source in the article. Normally (with new editors) I would put a  tag but since you're not a new editor I thought it's better to check it with you if the material is licensed under a free license or public domain.

replies: text:  Thanks for your message on my talk, I am glad it's not a copyvio. For the next time, would it be possible for you to make a note on the original website/document that re-use is permitted under the GFDL and state at the talk page where to find that note? Just in case some other editor working on copyvio's tags your articles. Garion96 (talk) 18:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I object VERY strongly to your moving of this article from its commonly-known English name to "Kaganga" which is just a word for alphabet. Please do not do this. I also object to what you have been doing to other scripts, and I will revert them and take this up with the wider community if necessary. Thank you. -- Evertype·✆ 18:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rejang script, not "Kaganga" 

message: According to this, the Rejang script has many other names, such as Ka Ga Nga, Toba, Karo, Mandailing, Kerinci, Minangkabau, Lampung, Surat Ulu, Musi Banyuasin, Ogan, Bengkulu, but the most popular name is Rencong. But I don't know if it's reliable.Vizio 19:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names? 

message: We have two articles "Rejang alphabet" and "Rencong alphabet" addressing the same script. The two articles should be merged under a new title. The term "Rejang script" is a misnomer and should not be continued. The term RENCONG is locally virtually unknown and should hence also not be used as the title of the article. The two existing articles "rencong script" and "rejang alphabet" should be merged under the new title "Central Sumatran Ulu Scripts" which should cover the script used in Rejang, Lebong, Bengkulu, Serawai, Komering, Lembak, and Pasemah. I am willing to write the article as long as someone renames "Rejang alphabets" to "Central Sumatran Ulu Scripts" and deletes the aricle "Rencong alphabet". 
The term REJANG is a geographic and linguistic term which is also used for the ethnic group of Rejang people. The Rejang are speakers of the Rejang language, but manuscripts written by ethnic Rejang are almost always produced in the Malay language. The script used by the Rejang is shared by other people in the region who do speak different dialects and languages but also write in Malay. The term "Rejang script" is hence a misnomer (just like people erroneously use the term "English script" when what in fact they mean is the Latin script). The script used by the the people of Rejang, Lebong, Bengkulu, Lembak, Pasemah, Komering, and Serawai is one single script with only very slight local variations. 
The most popular term that is used by the actual users of the script is Surat Ulu (Letters of the Highlands). This is the term that in my opinion should be used. The term surat ulu is also the preferred term used by philologists of the University of Bengkulu. The script has been given the name RENCONG by the Dutch administrator and anthropologist Westenenk. This term is only used by a very limited community of users of the script. The British anthropologist Mervin Jaspan later coined the term KAGANGA which is rather misleading. Jaspan was apparently not aware that almost all scripts of India and Southeast Asia start with the letters Ka, Ga, and Nga.  
Surat Had Lampung is closely related to the Ulu scripts, but should probably get its own Wikipedia article as the differences are large enough to speak of two related but distinct scripts. Furthermore, unlike surat ulu alphabets, Lampung does not use the term "surat ulu" for its script. 
The Kerinci script has a name which is very similar to the term "rencong". It is called the INCUNG script (Surat Incung). The script is very similar to the Ulu scripts but as it has its own name it should also be covered under a separate Wikipedia article (which I can write as well). The article should be called "The Kerinci Incung Script"
So let's stop discussing and take action. As I am not a Wikipedia administrator I cannot rename and delete articles, and don't even know how to do that. If someone does this for me, I will write the new articles. Thank you.

message: I am struggling to figure out how to type Re ꤽꥍ (as in 'Rejang'). Could you please show me how it is done?  I'd truly appreciate that.  Thank you. --120.146.159.239 (talk) 02:33, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: How do I type Rejang script on Wikipedia?

message: I've installed both "Code2000" and "Code2001", and chose them for all the font options in Google Chrome, but these Rejang characters still aren't rendering! What's the problem? Information online seems to indicate that Rejang glyphs are definitely included in these "Code" fonts, which is why I downloaded them in the first place! I really, really don't understand what I'm missing. 1.157.95.133 (talk) 03:12, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
