locale-templates/phn: What do I need to do to get it into locale?

[hanetzer]

As above. I'd like to use the phoenician script in some bible related documents. Is all that is required within the babel repo, or do changes need to be made elsewhere in latex?

¿With pdftex, xetex o luatex? With the last two, the files under templates mostly work, but you need in addition a font. Copy the two files under phn to a place where LaTeX can find them (usually the working directory is a valid place). Here is an minimal example with luatex:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[english, bidi=basic]{babel}

\babelfont[phoenician]{rm}{Noto Sans Phoenician}

\begin{document}

Text \foreignlanguage{phoenician}{𐤊𐤍𐤀𐤍𐤌} Text

\end{document}
