African charsets
================

   Some African character sets are available for a few languages, when
these are heavily used in countries where French is also currently
spoken.

   One African charset is usable for Bambara, Ewondo and Fulfude, as
well as for French.  This charset is available in `recode' under the
name `AFRFUL-102-BPI_OCIL'.  Accepted aliases are `bambara', `bra',
`ewondo' and `fulfude'.  Transliterated forms of the same are available
under the name `AFRFUL-103-BPI_OCIL'.  Accepted aliases are
`t-bambara', `t-bra', `t-ewondo' and `t-fulfude'.

   Another African charset is usable for Lingala, Sango and Wolof, as
well as for French.  This charset is available in `recode' under the
name `AFRLIN-104-BPI_OCIL'.  Accepted aliases are `lingala', `lin',
`sango' and `wolof'.  Transliterated forms of the same are available
under the name `AFRLIN-105-BPI_OCIL'.  Accepted aliases are
`t-lingala', `t-lin', `t-sango' and `t-wolof'.

   To ease exchange with `ISO-8859-1', there is a charset conveying
transliterated forms for Latin-1 in a way which is compatible with the
other African charsets in this series.  This charset is available in
`recode' under the name `AFRL1-101-BPI_OCIL'.  Accepted aliases are
`t-fra' and `t-francais'.
