It has been fixed, I think; refer to Old Nubian language for details on the orthography. You, sir, are of course invited to contribute to Wikipedia! Kind regards, mark 18:27, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Language or languages?

Especially when including the rather distinct Hill Nubian cluster, I think it doesn't make much sense to speak of the Nubian language. If no-one objects, I'll move this article to Nubian languages tomorrow. mark 01:22, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

...and any help in subsequently fixing the thirteen links to Nubian language (i.e. making them point to the plural form instead) would of course be truly appreciated... :) mark 01:33, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Ah, forgot this one. Just completed the move, fixed the redirects. Thirteen redirects are not that many now that Wikipedia is returning to a decent speed. mark 20:20, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "SESCO" or "ISESCO"?

There is reference here and in the Nobiin language article to "the extended SESCO system" of Arabic transcription. I have been looking for info on this and wonder if ISESCO (Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is intended instead? They sponsored some work on extended Arabic orthographies.--A12n 20:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
