BS ISO 10754:1996

This standard BS ISO 10754:1996 Information and documentation. Extension of the Cyrillic alphabet coded character set for non-Slavic languages for bibliographic information interchange is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.040.10 Coding of character sets

1.1 This International Standard specifies a set of 93 graphic characters with their coded representations. It consists of a code table and a legend showing each graphic, its use and its name. Explanatory notes are also included. The character set is primarily intended for the interchange of information among data processing systems and within message transmission systems.

1.2 These characters, together with characters in the basic Cyrillic set, registered as number 37 in the ISO international register, constitute a character set for the international interchange of bibliographic citations, including their annotations, in the non-Slavic Cyrillic alphabets for the languages specified in 1.3.

1.3 This character set is intended to handle information in the following language groups:

Abazian	Kabardian	Mordvin
Abkhasian	Kalmyk	Nenets
Adyghe	Karachay	Nivkh
Aisor	Kara-Kalpak	Nogai
Altaic	Karelian	Ossetic
Avar	Kazakh	Romany
Azerbaijani	Khakass	Sami
Balkar	Khanty	Selkup
Bashkir	Kirghiz	Shor
Buryat	Komi	Tabasaran
Chechen	Koryak	Tajik
Chukchi	Kumyk	Tat
Chuvash	Kurdish	Tatar
Dargwa	Lak	Turkmen
Dungan	Lezghian	Tuvinian
Eskimo	Lithuanian	Udekhe
Even	Mansi	Udmurt
Evenki	Mari	Uighur
Gagauzi	Moldavian	Uzbek
Ingush	Mongolian	Yakut

1.4 This coded character set contains characters used since the Russian Revolution (1917). Some letters which appear to be unrepresented in the character table are actually graphic variants. Obsolete letters, those used for only a brief period in the late 19th century, have been excluded from this International Standard. This applies chiefly to early letters used in Chechen, Chuvash, Dargwa, Lak and Lezghian. Letters from their 20th century alphabets are included.
