Re: [libreoffice-website] Create A Sidama Language Website for us

Thank you Erich,

It is true that we have no content online. In fact at this time there are
many books written in the Sidama language, though they are in Sidama itself
or in Amharic. The language is fully written with Latin alphabet (like
English) and is not Unicode based like Amharic. It has no accented
characters as well. I prefer the http://sid.libreoffice.org to be used. The
correct name of the language is also Sidama, not Sidamo.

Thank you.
