Đ character is populate in Vietnamese but it have some restriction.
Đ has to follow by vowels (a,u,e,i,o). But you should run these vowels through Slugify because in Vietnames, it can be in many forms: à á ẻ ị ỉ ,.......

@mac2000 You commit would overwrite the current behaviour. I don't know of any (other) language that uses Đ. But is D the only valid transliteration? Or is there another valid transliteration for another language?

@mac2000 one problems here: Đ and Đ. They are 2 different ways to type that characte

from slugify.

Initial set of transliteration rules was copy pasted from Wikipedia and other sources, now language speaking people correcting wrong assumptions about what is correct way to transliterate symbols, so in my opinion there is nothing bad, and actually D seems to be more correct rather than Dj, and after all if there is other cases we can always create new issues and take decision what to do next
