| Caveats |
Cedilla was designed as an aid
to identifying a language from an orthographic sample. The more text
the user has available, the more likely it is that Cedilla will be able to
help.
Uses of accents to indicate length, nasalisation
and voice quality are included, but not uses to indicate tone or stress.
Some languages do not yet have an agreed orthography and are written in
different ways by different people. I have tried to take account of this. |

|
| Language information |
Clicking on the name of a
language will bring up a language information page where one is available.
This contains the complete set of glyphs used by the language and other
information such as the approximate number of speakers. |
| |
|
| Feature buttons |
At the moment there are only
four of these: Underlining which lists languages which use underlining
of letters for various purposes; and Few consonants which displays
languages with 10 or fewer consonant symbols in their orthography; and
finally C with diaeresis which lists languages with consonants
bearing a diaeresis such as Malagasy <n̈>. Finally, there is the
No <s> button. Actually, most languages in this category have
no fricative sounds at all, but this is not always evident from the
orthography. |

|
| Platforms |
Cedilla has been tested in the
latest versions of the following browsers: Avant, Firefox, Google Chrome,
MSIE and Opera, all running under Windows 7. No special fonts are necessary
