Somali (Soomaali) review centers on this evidence: check doubled vowels and consonants, apostrophes, grammatical endings, personal names, and Arabic or English borrowings. CLDR maximizes bare so to Latn (Latin script) as default web-locale metadata. It is not evidence about the recording or proof that Somali has only one writing system. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms. Project decision: which Somali spelling and treatment of Arabic or English names is approved. Before batch editing so, a reviewer must record which Somali spelling and treatment of Arabic or English names is approved and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
