Hamza

Kwamikagami, I see you replaced a couple of apostrophes in transcriptions with {{hamza}}. By any chance would {{saltillo}}, to insert a saltillo character, have been more appropriate? Largoplazo (talk) 20:42, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe so. The ALMG uses curly apostrophe shapes in printed material (though an ASCII <'> for online). I think the saltillo is more Mexican. — kwami (talk) 20:52, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, just checking. I just thought "hamza" seemed odd in a New World context, came across the saltillo in the documentation to the hamza template, and I conjectured that possibly a common symbol is in use to transcribe the glottal stop across Mexican/Central American languages.

1858-1871 Flag

Why does is the flag from 1858-1871 used under Rafael Carrera in a 1:2 aspect ratio? There isn’t a good reason why it is in a different ratio than the other flags. 2601:647:4800:5700:F984:728:A110:3301 (talk) 06:13, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
