development of orthographies regarding the issues that arise during the creation
of writing systems in places where there is dialect variation and there is no
writing system, or there is a writing system for a national language but not for
the particular language. Presentations will be 20 minutes in length, followed by
a 10-minute discussion period. Please note that there could also be sessions for
