Bidayat dialect
Tuba, also Bidayat (Bideyat), is a dialect of the Zaghawa language found in Chad and western Sudan. In contrast to their Zaghawa kin, Bidayat speakers are more nomadic. This difference led early ethnographers to refer to them as different groups until linguistic similarities proved their close relationship.[2]

gollark: Not really. If I have a UTF-16 document with valid grammar/spelling and I convert it to UTF-8, the grammar/spelling is not altered.
gollark: That's grammar/spelling, not *encoding*.

gollark: Encode extra proposal content in zero width space/invisible character patterns. I don't think there's any rule specifying the encoding of proposal content, so I could just sneak that into a proposal and later demand that it be followed. Possibly. Except invisible characters are forbidden.
gollark: Huh, 1.8.1 stops my evil plan, that's annoying. Possibly.
