Dear sirs,
This is just a quick thought and proposal to replace Emacs etc/HELLO file.
As Emacs 23 fully supports UCS/Unicode now, etc/HELLO file may be
extended, so that it covers the languages and scripts that had not been
covered by the previous Emacs versions.
Also, HELLO file may contain symbols and rare or ancient scripts, so
that it contains at least one character from each UCS/Unicode blocks.
That would help Emacs users to quick-check which fonts their Emacsen are
missing.
I've collected the "Hello" entries from various on-line dictionaries
over the Internet (especially omniglot.com is useful). Languages are
selected so that at most two or three languages are shown for each
script (except Latin script, which has several significant languages).
I gathered scripts that I could not find "Hello" entries to separate
entries, and classified them by writing directions.
The proposed etc/HELLO file attached below may contain some
inappropriateness or mistakes, which I appreciate if someone could point
out or fix. Also, most of script samples merely line up the characters.
Refining them to meaningful text is also appreciated.
=====================
The quickest way to view all characters in this HELLO.txt file is to
install "Code2000" font, Mr. George Douros's Unicode Symbol font, "MPH
Damase 2D" font and Cyrillic font by BukyVede. That would cover most of
Unicode 5.1 characters. Beside them, specific Tibetan, Tagalog, Arabic
Supplement, Sinhalese and Sundanese font fill the gap. Still, Font for
"New Tai Lue", "Balinease", "Lepcha" and few other script seems not
available freely for now.

Very nice! And the last part even can be used as a Unicode character palette.
However, you removed Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Maltese,
Nederlands, Norwegian, Polish, Slovak, Slovenian, Turkish, Ukrainian.
This is too bad.

Whoops. Sorry, they are as follows.
Esperanto Saluton (Eĥoŝanĝo ĉiuĵaŭde)
Estonian (eesti keel) Tere päevast / Tere õhtust
Finnish (suomi) Hei / Hyvää päivää
Maltese (il-Malti) Bonġu / Saħħa / merħba

Slovak (slovenčina) Ahoj / Ahojte / Nazdar / Servus
Slovenian (slovenščina) Pozdravljeni!
Turkish (Türkçe) Merhaba
Ukrainian (українська) Вітаю
FYI: I've also collected the followings, but I thought putting all of
them would make the file too much Latin-script centric, too much
difficult for verification.

Not every language you listed uses Latin script. Urdu, for instance, could be interesting to include.
In addition there are some errors in your listing. For instance what you listed as Catalan is Breton. In Catalan it would be „Hola, Bon dia“ (Hi, good day“).
Bon dia

Omitting part of languages might cause some Emacs users to think that
we consider their languages insignificant. OTOH, adding more languages =
more loyal Emacs users. I mean the following reasoning of a novice
looking at the HELLO file: "Emacs supports my language - good! I'll use it."
If it is difficult to verify a group of scripts, we could group
languages by Unicode script names ordered by Unicode ranges like in
http://www.unicode.org/charts/ You can use language-script mapping in
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/supplemental/languages_and_scripts.html

How about adding new language per request basis?? If I do not
misunderstand, main purposes of `HELLO' is to show and check
multilingual (multi-script) capability of Emacs and font availability in
user's installation.
`Removing' existing languages in HELLO file may not certainly be
appropriate. As there are thousands of languages in the world,
attempting to add every languae unconditionaly may shadow the purpose of
HELLO file.

Difficulty comes from verifying if languages collected from the Internet
is really correct, or did I properly copy them to the text file. Thanks
for pointing me of an error on Breton and Catalan... That's my own
mistake.

How can extra languages in HELLO shadow its purpose? I don't think we
should care about the size of HELLO too much, certainly not as a
reason for excluding some languages. People are justifiably proud of
their languages, and we don't want to offend anyone, I think.

Yes, the main purpose of HELLO is to check multi-script capability,
and it would be simpler if HELLO displayed just a few symbols
from every script. But since HELLO contains greetings in various
languages now, we risk offending some users by not including their
languages in this list.

> is really correct, or did I properly copy them to the text file.
This is not a problem since we can easily fix errors when users notice
and report them.
BTW, I think we should convert HELLO to UTF-8. Do you see any symbol
in HELLO not supported by UTF-8?

How can extra languages in HELLO shadow its purpose?
If we put the most important things at the top, there is no harm
having lots of languages after that. I think there are some 3,000
living languages. If each one takes 10 bytes, that's 30,000 bytes,
which is no big deal.

Anther thing I'm worring is a quality. There may be mistakes during the
compilation process of HELLO file. (I tried to do double-check by
putting all the phrases into the search engine and see if they hit to
multiple sources, but not all of languages such attempts are
successful.) There may also be informal greetings that some people may
feel uncomforatble, but I couldn't know if such thing really occured.
If we could hope that people who found inappropriate entry in HELLO.txt
would kindly point it out rather than just merely get angered, and if we
are not asking an absolute quality on correctness of HELLO file, perhaps
we could put all the `Hello' phrases found the Internet. There might be
other options, such as to put some statements in top of HELLO file
asking people to polish the quality and extend the coverage of languages...

I see it's currently iso-2022-7bit-unix. And `view-hello-file'
sets its coding system to iso-2022-7bit explicitly.

It's iso-2022-7bit, and converting it to utf-8 would lose the cjk
variants.

We could put just one character from every script at the top
(like can be seen on the logo of Wikipedia).

Since Emacs-23 has utf-8 as its internal encoding, I have my problems to
see how they are not lost anyway.

That's because the internal encoding extends Unicode, see the ELisp
manual for the details.

Though these extensions are not used for CJK variants.

As iso-2022-7bit has designation sequences for each
character set, Emacs can use that information to add proper
`charset' property, and that property infulence the font
selection.

The purpose of the HELLO file is to demonstrate Emacs multilingual
capabilities. It currently does this using iso-2022-7bit. Does this
mean that UTF-8 is not the best coding system for multilingual texts
in Emacs, because UTF-8 has some limitations (doesn't provide the
proper font selection, loses cjk variants), so iso-2022-7bit is the
preferable coding system for multilingual texts in Emacs? Is it possible
to improve the UTF-8 support in Emacs since most files use it nowadays?

At least for CJK characters included in legacy character
sets (e.g. JISX0208, GB2312, etc), iso-2022-7bit is still
better than utf-8 if we concern font selection.

For that, we must use language tags, but they are strongly
discouraged by Unicode. Unicode doesn't concern font
selection problem. It says that it is a task of higher
level information, for instance, that is provided by XML's
language tag.

According to Handa-san's mentions,
if we do not use iso-2022-7bit, we cannot do input/output of non-ascii
characters. Is that right? Still i'm wondering what it means ...

No, it isn't right. What Handa-san says is that for _some_ scripts,
selection of font can be more according to user expectations if the
information about the language is preserved. iso-2022 gives us an
opportunity to identify the language, while utf-8 does not.

No. I didn't say such a thing.

I don't understand from which statement of mine you get such
a conclusion.

`iso-2022-7bit' has been adopted for HELLO file, as it could contain CJK
variants differently, but if we are to go into depth of various scripts
and symbols that ISO-2022 does not support, we could only use UTF.
ISO/IEC 10646 Annex T provides the way to describe the language in plain
text by using Language Tags, such as follows:
开发、開發、開発
Language Tags are not recommended by the Unicode (as long as there is
other ways to describe language, such as XML lang attributes), but it is
the only way to describe language in plain text. Or switch we switch
HELLO file from plain text to some XML format?
# Emacs still doesn't handle Language Tags, but I think it wouldn't be
# difficult in some future time...
I'll attach updated HELLO examples as follows, that incorporates all the
languages I could find "HELLO" word, plus Language Tag usage examples
(someday Emacs may support it?) and fixed the logical order of Arabic
language.

ISO 2022 supports Unicode via the "incompatible encodings" control
sequence (I forget the exact name and escape sequence). I don't know
if Emacs's iso-2022-* coding systems support it, but it's not hard to
add in the unlikely case that you don't have it already.
IMO, a better way to do this would be to change the HELLO file to be a
Lisp library, and encode it in UTF-8. The table of greetings can
simply be wrapped into a string, and add a table of "languages we have
preferred fonts for" in Lisp.

Fixed how? (Sorry, don't have time to look.) The name of the
language (not the greeting) should be in visual order, because Emacs
does not yet support bidirectional display.

Or maybe switch to a simpler markup like in emacs/etc/enriched.doc
(and add the language tag support to this format).

Thanks, your new list is surprisingly compact. I have only a few comments.
1. In the current HELLO file the greeting in Slovak is correct
(see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dobr%C3%BD_de%C5%88 )
and displays non-ASCII characters. I think it's better to keep
the current greeting for Slovak.
2. Esperanto used to display a nice diacritical pangram "Eĥoŝanĝo ĉiuĵaŭde".
Even thought it's not a greeting, I think we should keep it.
3. You could replace the old Euro currency U+20A0 ₠ with the new one
U+20AC €.
4. Klingon uses the Private Use Area U+F8D0 - U+F8FF
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Test_Klingon.html
5. You've removed charsets jisx0201 and jisx0208 from Japanese greetings.
Is it because they are not needed for font selection, or just because
the transfer charset in your message was utf-8?

Also if there's a hello command that creates a buffer ("*Hello*"?) dynamically,
it could put a greeting for the appropriate locale at the top.

Fixed to follow reading order. They should be rendered correctly when
copied to other programs that can handle BIDI correctly, which may
include future version of Emacs.

That's right. They should be replaced....

I think non-standardized characters should be avoided.

`Japanese' entry of HELLO contains characters from both JIS X 0208
charsets and JIS X 0201 charsets (halfwidth katakana chars.)

In some way, it is already realized by `sample-text' attribute of
`set-language-info-alist' function.
`HELLO' file may be useful for symbols and scripts not yet (or cannot
be) supported by Emacs as language, but are already encoded by the
UCS/Unicode.

No, we deliberately have the language in visual order to make it
readable. Being readable is more important than being
copy-paste-able. When Emacs supports bidirectional editing, we will
reorder that again.

I now think it's more important to tell whether or not Emacs
supports it. When one sees that Arabic is correctly
displayed in HELLO, he may misunderstand that Arabic is
supported.

IIRC, R-L display is the principal remaining heavy-lifting task on the
roadmap. I think that rearranging the HELLO file manually into reading
order gives the wrong message not just to the users, but also to the
developers.

That's why we left the greeting itself in the logical (a.k.a. reading)
order. Only the name of the language is in visual order. I think
this is a good compromise, and given that it was just changed in Emacs
23.1 (from the logical order for both the language name and the
greeting), I suggest that we leave it at that for the moment.

Well, seeing the language name and the greeting in reverse for the
last 10 years didn't prompt any developer into doing something about
that, and the only developer working on this now doesn't really need
that as motivation. So I wouldn't exaggerate the importance of this
nit.
(By ``reading order'', I presume that you mean visual order, not
logical order. Apologies if I misunderstood.)
