Thank you souvik for updating this article. However I feel that majority of this fits into the Chakma Script page. What do you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 8liability (talkcontribs) 23:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Review

edit

The article is easy to review. It reads like an article on a script, and it features much too prominently a script that no one needs to learn to understand Chakma as a language system. Except for some rare infos on the phonology that might as well only reflect the analysis evident in the script (which is not necessarily correct) and some infos in the lead, there is no actual linguistic information. I'm not sure whether to rate it stub class or very weak start class, so I refrained from rating for the time being. G Purevdorj (talk) 16:11, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

There is a technical problem with this page

edit

As of Jan 2013, the page reads “It is written using the Chakma script, which is also called U+E008 U+E027 U+E010 U+E01C U+E013 U+E030 Ajhā pāṭh, sometimes romanized Ojhopath.” in the opening paragraph. The codepoints which I have converted for that quote correspond to the Private Use Area and, thus, have no semantics. (On my system, they appear as Tengwar, which makes me think that Firstborn inhabit the mountains of North East India).

I see that the Chakma Script article uses correct codepoints for Chakma characters. Someone speaking Chakma should simply enter the correct string of Chakma characters (my guess is 𑄃𑄏𑄧 𑄛𑄧𑄒, but then nobody knows); since it is unclear which font and which font mapping the original author of that PUA-expresion used, it cannot be fixed by algorithm. 114.129.8.6 (talk) 10:24, 18 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Keyboard Layouts

edit

Hi,

I've removed the Script section because:

  • It should be in Chakma alphabet instead of here;
  • It was just keyboard layout images with no reference to check accuracy, no explanation or analyse, one had circled glyphs but no legend to tell why.

Official status

edit

I couldn't find any source that can support the claim that Chakma language has official status in India, in any form. There is no mention of Chakma on Languages with official status in India. The state of Mizoram lists only three languages: Mizo, English and Hindi, as official languages. The Chakma Autonomous District Council is more of an organization and not a geographic/political entity. The officials and members of the organization may use Chakma language in their activities but that doesn't mean Chakma language has official status in the context we are talking about.
