Temo: Practical Orthography of African Languages, 1930

> Last May on this group there was discussion of Latin-based
> transcriptions for African languages, and during the exchange, there
> was mention of the early (1930) Africa alphabet and its relation to
> current orthographies. Well, thanks to Konrad Tuchsherer, who
> supplied me with a copy to scan (and reviewed my first online
> version), the Practical Orthography of African Languages, rev. ed. is
> now available at http://www.bisharat.net/poal30.htm
>
> It's notable that the characters available in the unicode fonts
> Gentium and Arial Unicode MS cover all that were used in the text of
> that document save one (a capital modified Z for which I inserted
> little .gifs in the Shona examples near the end of the text).
