12.5 African charsets

Some African character sets are available for a few languages, when these are heavily used in countries where French is also currently spoken.

One African charset is usable for Bambara, Ewondo and Fulfude, as well as for French. This charset is available in recode under the name AFRFUL-102-BPI_OCIL. Accepted aliases are bambara, bra, ewondo and fulfude. Transliterated forms of the same are available under the name AFRFUL-103-BPI_OCIL. Accepted aliases are t-bambara, t-bra, t-ewondo and t-fulfude.

Another African charset is usable for Lingala, Sango and Wolof, as well as for French. This charset is available in recode under the name AFRLIN-104-BPI_OCIL. Accepted aliases are lingala, lin, sango and wolof. Transliterated forms of the same are available under the name AFRLIN-105-BPI_OCIL. Accepted aliases are t-lingala, t-lin, t-sango and t-wolof.

To ease exchange with ISO-8859-1, there is a charset conveying transliterated forms for Latin-1 in a way which is compatible with the other African charsets in this series. This charset is available in recode under the name AFRL1-101-BPI_OCIL. Accepted aliases are t-fra and t-francais.
