Reshat Sabiq's requests for two Tatar orthographic variants

[CE Whitehead]

I'm responding to your response to me:
>>Hi, the USSR does not use primarily a Latin Script but a variant of the 
>>Greek alphabet so I'm confused as to how Latin is redundant? Some of the 
>>Greek and Old English characters are included of the Latin-1 character set 
>>(I guess Old English is more or less accommodated by Latin 1).  The 
>>Russian alphabet is Cyrillic.

>This is off-base.  ReÅŸat's requests were for Latin-based orthographies

>in the 1930s.

O.k. thanks, I do not know enough about these languages, my apologies.
If the languages were normally written in Latin-based script then the script 
tag would be redundant;
if they were normally written in Cyrillic script, then it would be 
necessary;
also, if they can be written in either script, then the script tag would be 
necessary;
also if they are  were written in Arabic or any other script at least a good 
bit of the time (though not necessarily the majority of the time), the 
script tag would be necessary.
