[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,
I've created a Kashubian prefix input method for Emacs. For every diacritic
character it uses the most intuitive prefix character, e.g. ':e' generates
the character 'ë', '`o' - 'ò', etc. I've also added the option to
explicitly insert those prefix characters by inputting them twice.
Regards,
Wojtek

Thanks.

Why do we need a separate input method?  Why not extend the Polish
input method so that it includes the additional characters it lacks
now which are required to support Kashubian?

Well, I did consider this for a moment, but the Polish method is called
'polish-slash' and assumes slash as the prefix character. But in the
Kashubian script there are sometimes multiple diacritic variations of the
same Latin letter, e.g. 'é' and 'ë'. Combined with normal Polish 'ę'
(absent in Kashubian) this is beginning to get messy. But perhaps I could
create something called 'polish-prefix' which would serve as a union of
scripts, i.e. combining ordinary Polish diacritics with regional ones. What
do you think?

I see.

Sounds like a good idea, thanks.

Ok, here's another take on the topic. Now it's not region-specific and
incorporates as many regional diacritics as I was able to find.
