ISO-8859-4

Latin4 introduced letters for Estonian, Baltic languages, Latvian and Lithuanian, Greenlandic and Lappish. It is an incomplete precursor of Latin6.

ISO-8859-5

With these Cyrillic letters you can type Bulgarian (bg), Byelorussian (be), Macedonian (mk), Russian (ru), Serbian (sr) and Ukrainian (uk).

ISO-8859-6

ISO-8859-9

Latin5 replaces the rarely needed Icelandic letters in Latin1 with the Turkish (tr) ones.

ISO-8859-10

Latin6 rearranged Latin4, added the last missing Inuit (Greenlandic Eskimo) and non-Skolt Sami (Lappish) letters, and reintroduced the rarely Icelandic letters to cover the entire Nordic area:

Estonian (et)

Lapp

Latvian (lv)

Lithuanian (lt)

Skolt Sami still needs a few more accents.

ISO-8859-11

To cover the Thai language. On UNIX systems, this is similar to the tis620 encoding.

ISO-8859-13

To cover the Baltic Rim. Latin7 is going to cover the Baltic Rim and re-establish the Latvian (lv) support lost in Latin6 and may introduce the local quotation marks. It resembles WinBaltic, that is, windows-1257.

To cover Celtic. Latin8 adds the last Gaelic and Welsh (cy) letters to Latin1 to cover all Celtic languages.

ISO-8859-15
