+ MonTeX provides Mongolian and Manju for the TeX/LaTeX
+ community.
+
+ Mongolian is a language spoken in North East Asia, namely
+ Mongolia and the Inner Mongol Autonomous Region of China.
+ Today, it is written in an extended Cyrillic alphabet in
+ Mongolia whereas the Uighur writing continues to be in
+ use in Inner Mongolia, though it is also, legally speaking,
+ the official writing system of Mongolia.
+
+ Manju is another language of North East Asia, belonging
+ to the Tungusic branch of the Altaic languages. Though
+ it is virtually not spoken anymore, it survives in
+ written form as Manju was the native language of the
+ rulers of the Qing dynasty (1644--1911) in China. Large
+ quantities of documents of the Imperial Archives survive,
+ as well as some of the finest dictionaries ever compiled
+ in Asia, like the Pentaglot, a dictionary comprising
+ Manju, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uighur and Chinese. MonTeX
+ provides all necessary characters for writing standard
+ Mongolian in Cyrillic and Classical (aka Traditional or
+ Uighur) writing, and Manju as well as transliterated
+ Tibetan texts, for which purpose a number of additional
+ characters was created.
+
+ In MonTeX, both Mongolian and Manju are entered in romanized
+ form. The retransliteration (from Latin input to Mongolian
+ and Manju output) is completely realized in TeX/Metafont so
+ that no external preprocessor is required.
+
+ Please note that most of the enhanced functions on MonTeX
+ require a working e-LaTeX environment. This is especially
+ true when compiling documents with Mongolian or Manju as
+ the main document language. It is recommended to choose
+ pdfelatex as the resulting PDF files are truly portable.
+ Vertical text generated by MonTeX is not supported in DVI.
+
+ This version of MonTeX makes all former versions of MonTeX
+ and ManjuTeX obsolete.
