Modelled after +the Tibetan script, the \XD\ script combines +the phonemic repertoire of Mongolian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan. +The script is not in wide use today; its +usage is basically limited to religious texts, inscriptions on +temples, etc. + +The logical construction of the script is two-dimensional, not +linear. Basic consonants are combined with vowels and final consonants +in a way similar to Tibetan; in fact, most of the letter shapes +as well as the arrangement of the alphabet was heavily influenced +by Tibetan. + +The basic consonant fills the major area of the symbol; if no +vowel sign is added, the basic vowel {\em a} is assumed; if a +vowel is added, then it is either placed on top of the character +(in case of {\em i, \"a, o, \"o}) or in the lower third of the +character box (in the cases of {\em \"u, u}). Long vowels are +marked by a protruding tip of the right-side beam. + + +\section{How to use the \XD\ package} +This section describes which commands are needed for invoking the +characters, and how special symbols are entered. + +\subsection{Declarations and Commands} +In order to use the \XD\ script, the preamble of your document +must contain the declaration \verb"\usepackage{mxd}". This +is the only necessary step. The command \verb"\mxd" switches +to the \XD\ character set and text input commands. + +\subsection{Input Method} +Within a group declared by \verb"\mxd", entering most +of the basic characters is straightforward. Initial consonants +are entered as such. Vowels are entered by +using lowercase letters for back vowels and uppercase letters +for front vowels: {\em o \"o u \"u} are entered as {\tt o O u U}. + +The following example shows how the words {\em xamu\g\ s\"adgil-t\"u} +written in \XD\ {\mxd kamug sedgiltU} translate into a +sequence of transliteration and input characters: +\verb|xamug sedgiltU|. + +In order to show the construction of the \XD\ characters (for +writing text books, etc.) one blind or dummy character {\mxd `} +was created which does not appear in the original alphabet. + +The symbols used for +spelling Sanskrit and Tibetan are accessed by control sequences +in the form of \verb"\sXX" where \verb"\s" stands for \XD\ +and {\tt XX} has to be replaced by a one-, two- or three-letter +combination found in the encoding table. + +\subsection{Script Styles} +The following sequence shows how the \XD\ alphabet is arranged +as shown in Mongolian block prints of the 17th century: +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +\begin{verbatim} +{\mxd \Large \noindent% +\sA. namo\sg{}uruma no\$aya.
