The lack of support for the comma diacritics has been corrected in current versions of major operating systems: Windows Vista or newer, Linux distributions after 2005, and currently supported Mac OS versions. This state of affairs is due to an initial lack of glyph standardization, compounded by the lack of computer font support for the comma-below variants. Many printed and online texts still incorrectly use "s with cedilla" and "t with cedilla". "Although the Romanian Academy standard mandates the comma-below variants for the sounds /sh/ and /ts/, the cedilla variants are still widely used. In addition, there is another special case having to do with the Romanian language. We have been using the Latinica rather than the phonetic which is subject to so many interpretations (such as dajčovo instead of dajchovo, daychovo, or daichovo pajduško instead of pajdushko or paidushko and šopsko instead of shopsko)." Actually, Bulgarian is akin to Macedonian as Serbian is akin to Croatian. The latest breakthrough toward this consistency is in Bulgarian. As to the spelling, there is a good tendency to spell Balkan dances in the Latin ("Latinica") alphabet of the Serbo-Croatian language. "It is gratifying to note a great improvement in the spelling and pronunciation of Balkan dance names and the recent standardization of these often difficult foreign words. Unique special characters have "diacritical marks" that give Latin alphabets new letters and sounds for various languages.
