Description Roozbeh Pournader 2009-01-31 00:58:18 UTC

The file tl.orth for Tagalog lists characters from the historical Tagalog script, that "fell out of normal use by the mid-1700s" [Unicode Standard 5.0, pp. 395-396]. Tagalog is written in Latin these days.

CLDR has an auxiliary set that needs more research, so I can't really get you a correct file immediately.

I suggest removing the file for now, until we find better info.

Just attached two orth files for Tagalog and Filipino. They are basically the same thing, but Filipino is the standardized form, so the data is there and Tagalog just includes it.

    Add Filipino orth, alias Tagalog to Filipino (bug #19846)
    
    The previous Tagalog orthography used the Tagalog script, which is not in
    modern use.

I believe I've fixed this in 2.7.0.  Please reopen otherwise.
