- Description
As my corrected, amended, updated version of the German localization steadily grows, the need arises that subcategories of German get their own I18N branches, so that they - when they edit their very own custom.php and might propose this to the community - do not change wordings of what is called "High German", in ISO terms "de.de".
The most common subcategories of German are Austrian German and Swiss German, in ISO: de.at and de.ch. Especially Swiss German really needs its sub-category, because Swiss German greatly differs in the spelling of many words, because Swiss German is lacking one letter of the alphabet, the ligature of 's' and 'z', which is 'ß'. Some US developers have called it the "B looking character", and its glyph resembles a greek beta, but it isn't. Called an "Eszett" or "sharp S", and pronounced as IPA: ˈʃaɐ̯fəs ˈʔɛs, ˈʃaːfəs ˈʔɛs, in HTML it is.Copy to clipboardß
Regardless of how you call it, the Swiss don't have it. It simply doesn't exist in Swiss German, therefore all words containing it have a different spelling in Swiss German. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F
"ß was encoded by ECMA-94 (1985) at position 223 (hexadecimal DF), inherited by Latin-1 and Unicode (U+00DF ß LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S).6 The HTML entity ß was introduced with HTML 2.0 (1995). The capital variant (U+1E9E ẞ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S) was introduced by ISO 10646 in 2008."- Importance
