  3. Invitation For those Nations who may be interested in the issue of non-Romanised font standardisation, let us form an e-working group to establish and disseminate an agreed list of recommended fonts, for all non-Romanised languages of interest, for lower level language learning

  4. Reading ~ Level 1 – Survival Can read very simple connected written material, such as unambiguous texts that are directly related to everyday survival or workplace situations. Texts may include short notes; announcements; highly predictable descriptions of people, places, or things; brief explanations of geography, government, and currency systems simplified for non-natives; short sets of instructions and directions (application forms, maps, menus, directories, brochures, and simple schedules). Understands the basic meaning of simple texts containing high frequency structural patterns and vocabulary, including shared international terms and cognates (when applicable). Can find some specific details through careful or selective reading. Can often guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from simple context. May be able to identify major topics in some higher level texts. However, may misunderstand even some simple texts. NATO STANAG 6001 - Edn #4
