bug#55869: [PATCH] Add support for the Lepcha script

[समीर सिंह Sameer Singh]

I am sorry, I do not understand the question, I have not used a transliterated name for the Lepcha script.

If you are asking whether to use ᰛᰩᰵ (Róng) or ᰛᰩᰵᰛᰧᰵᰶ (Róng-ríng), I think both are fine.

Looking around for videos of native speakers I found these:

1. https://youtu.be/syNb4rXDRjI?t=26 Here at 26 sec, Mr. PT Lepcha uses "Rong Mingjot" for "Rong Alphabet" (atleast AFAICT, because I could not find "Mingjot" in a dictionary (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Dictionary_of_the_Lepcha-language_%28IA_cu31924023194198%29.pdf))

2. https://youtu.be/fHlvOhyN7Tg?t=22 Here again at 22 sec, "Rong Mingjot" is used.

3. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ERmC9G1FlNk Here Eliyas uses both Róng (in native script) and Róng-ríng (in lepcha script).

The omniglot website also describes other name for this script:

The Lepcha script is known as ᰀᰂ (kakha - the first two letters), ᰇᰨᰕᰧᰵᰶ (chomíng - "written letters") or ᰕᰧᰵᰶᰙᰳ (míngzât - "treasure of letters").

The question is: what should we use?  Maybe using what is actually
shown (as opposed to transliterated) is better?
