Description

INSTRUCTIONS

  • These instructions cover how to adopt an LGR based on this reference LGR for a given zone and how to prepare the file for deposit in the IANA Repository of IDN Practices.
  • As described the IANA procedure (https://www.iana.org/help/idn-repository-procedure) an LGR MUST contain the following elements in its header:
    • Script or Language Designator (see below for guidance)
    • Version Number (this must increase with each amendment to the LGR, even if the updates are limited to the header itself)
    • Effective Date (the date at which the policy becomes applicable in operational use)
    • Registry Contact Details (contact name, email address, and/or phone number)
  • The following information is optional:
    • Document creation date
    • Applicable Domain(s)
    • Changes made to the Reference LGR before adopting

Please add or modify the following items in the XML source code for this file before depositing the document in the IANA Repository. (https://www.iana.org/domains/idn-tables)

Meta Data

Note: version numbers start at 1. RFC 7940 recommends using simple integers. The version comment is optional, please replace or delete the default comment. Version comments may be used by some tools as part of the page header.

<version comment="[Please replace (or delete) the optional comment]">[Please fill in version number, starting at 1]</version>

Label Generation Rules for Bulgarian

Overview

This document specifies a set of Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Bulgarian language using a language-specific repertoire for the second level domain or domains identified above. The format of this file follows [RFC 7940]. This LGR is adapted from the “Reference LGR for the Second Level for the Bulgarian Language” [Ref-LGR-bg-Cyrl], for details, see Change History below.

Standalone LGR: This LGR is designed to be used in a zone that does not cater to IDNs other than those valid under this LGR. This LGR lacks features that would allow its use in the context of another LGR in the same zone, and it may contain other features incompatible with such use.

Repertoire

All references converge on 30 Cyrillic code points (23 + 9 as defined by RFC 5992 [130]). CLDR in its auxiliary list adds 7 code points of which 2 correspond to historic letters. These code points are U+0463 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YAT and U+046B CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BIG YUS. They are also excluded from [MSR-5] as being obsolete. Of the other 5, 3 have no other sources and are not included. The last 2: U+0450 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IE WITH GRAVE and U+045D CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER I WITH GRAVE have additional sources and are part of the extended set.

Note: The article in [605] indicates that “In Bulgarian and Macedonian, the grave accent is sometimes, although not very often, used on the vowels а, о, у, е, и and ъ (ъ exists in Bulgarian only) to mark stress. In a few cases (mostly on the vowels е and и) the stress mark is orthographically required to distinguish words which are Homographs".

There is an IDN table published in the IANA Repository of IDN Practices for Bulgarian by .bg (Bulgaria cctld) in [700]

Excluded code points

Letters documented in some references but not included:

  • U+044B CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YERU

  • U+044D CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER E

  • U+0451 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO

  • U+0463 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YAT

  • U+046B CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BIG YUS

  • U+0463 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YAT

  • U+0430 U+0300 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE ACCENT

  • U+043E U+0300 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER O WITH GRAVE ACCENT

  • U+0443 U+0300 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER U WITH GRAVE ACCENT

  • U+044A U+0300 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER HARD SIGN WITH GRAVE ACCENT

  • U+044E U+0300 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YU WITH GRAVE ACCENT

  • U+044F U+0300 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YA WITH GRAVE ACCENT

Extended code points

A number of letters not considered essential to writing the core vocabulary of the language are nevertheless in common use. Where they have not been added to the core repertoire, they are flagged as “extended-cp” in the table of code points. A context rule is provided that by default will prohibit labels with such extended code points. To support extended single code points or code point sequences, delete the context “extended-cp” from their repertoire definition.

Any code points outside the Bulgarian Language repertoire that are targets for out-of-repertoire variants would be included here only if the variant is listed in this file. In this case they are identified as a reflexive (identity) variant of type “out-of-repertoire-var”. Whether or not they are listed, they do not form part of the repertoire.

Variants

There are no variants defined between Cyrillic letters.

No ASCII Variants: Note that this LGR does not contain definitions for “blocked” variants for letters that look indistinguishable from ASCII letters (homoglyphs). If concurrent use of LDH labels is desired, the resulting conflicts can be handled by using the “Common LGR” in processing. For details, see Section 3, “Use of Multiple Reference LGRs in the Same Zone” in [Level-2-Overview].

Character Classes

This LGR does not define named character classes.

Rules

Common Rules

By default, the LGR includes the rules and actions to implement the following restrictions mandated by the IDNA protocol. They are marked with ⍟.

  • Hyphen Restrictions — restrictions on the allowable placement of hyphens (no leading/ending hyphen and no hyphen in positions 3 and 4). These restrictions are described in Section 4.2.3.1 of RFC 5891 [150]. They are implemented here as context rule on U+002D (-) HYPHEN-MINUS.
  • Leading Combining Marks — restrictions on the allowable placement of combining marks (no leading combining mark). This rule is described in Section 4.2.3.2 of RFC 5891 [150].

Actions

This LGR includes the default actions for LGRs as well as the action needed to invalidate labels with misplaced combining marks. They are marked with ⍟. For a description see [RFC 7940].

Variant-related actions included to facilitate integration as appropriate.

Methodology and Contributors

The LGR in this document has been adapted from the corresponding Reference LGR for the Second Level. The Second Level Reference LGR for the Bulgarian Language was developed by Michel Suignard and Asmus Freytag, including input by Michael Everson, Nicholas Ostler, and Wil Tan, and based on multiple open public consultations.

Changes from Version Dated 10 October 2016

Language tag has been updated.

Changes from Version Dated 18 May 2021

Unicode Version has been updated.

Changes from Version Dated 25 October 2024

Adopted from the Second Level Reference LGR for the Bulgarian Language [Ref-LGR-bg-Cyrl] without normative changes.

Rules

Conditions evaluated against a whole label, or against the context around a single code point. The notation borrows from regular expressions: ^ and $ anchor to the start and end of a label, . matches any code point, (?= ) and (?<= ) look ahead and behind, and * and + repeat. Two symbols are specific to rulesets: ◆ is the code point being tested, and ⟨name⟩ refers to another rule.

2 invalid any variant is out-of-repertoire-var any variant label with a code point out of repertoire is invalid MSR default
3 blocked any variant is blocked any variant label containing blocked variants is blocked MSR default
4 valid any label default catch all (default action)
