This package is founded on Mon\TeX\ and will - finally merge with Mon\TeX\ in order to provide all - Mongolian writings. In contrast to the Mongolian Script - of early Mon\TeX\ versions, the complete retransliteration - process which generates Manju writing out of romanized input is - built on the ligature functionality of \TeX\ and Metafont, thus - effectively eliminating the need for installing any external - preprocessor. -\end{abstract} -\tableofcontents - -\section{Introduction} - -As long as a full-fledged support of all Mongolian-based languages -and writing systems (Mongolian, Manju, Tod, Sibe as well as various -transcription systems for Tibetan, Sanskrit and Chinese, also known -as Galig or Ali Gali) is not available for the \TeX\ and \LaTeXe\ -community, the author considered it useful to prepare a stand-alone -Manju package which can be used with \TeX\ and \LaTeXe. The package -comes in two varieties: while \TeX\ users can access the Manju -fonts, \LaTeXe\ users enjoy the additional privilege of being able -to typeset vertical capsules of Manju text. Users of both -communities never have to bother with encoding issues or external -preprocessors. Manju is typed in a fairly standard romanization and -is converted to the presentation form automatically. - - -\section{Installation\label{Installation}} - -Installation of this software package is straightforward: -The installation procedure depends on the nature of the actual -\TeX\ system. The directory tree of e.\,g., teTeX is different -from the emtex tree; hence the source archive \texttt{manjutex.zip} -features the following subdirectories the contents of which has to be -placed into appropriate branches of the \TeX\ installation: -\begin{itemize} - \item \texttt{mfinput} holds the complete Metafont sources - for the Tibetan fonts. The suggested path for emtex - users is \verb"\emtex\mfinput\manju"; for teTeX users - \verb"$TEXMF/fonts/source/public/manju" is a suitable - choice. - \item \texttt{tfm} holds all necessary font metrics files. - The suggested path for emtex users is \verb"\emtex\tfm\manju"; - for teTeX users \verb"$TEXMF/fonts/tfm/public/manju" - is a suitable choice. - \item \texttt{texinput} holds all style files, font encoding - definitions etc. which are read by \TeX\ and \LaTeXe. - The suggested path for emtex users is - \verb"\emtex\texinput\manju"; for teTeX users - \verb"$TEXMF/tex/latex/manju" is a suitable choice. - \item \texttt{doc} contains the documentation (the document - which you are reading right now). It can be placed - in \verb"\emtex\doc\manju" (for emtex users) or - \verb"$TEXMF/doc/latex/manju" (for teTeX users). -\end{itemize} - -It may become necessary to rehash the directory database of the -\TeX\ system. When in doubt, consult your system administrator or -local \TeX\ wizard. -On teTeX systems, the command \texttt{texhash} will perform this service. - - -\section{User Commands\label{UserCommands}} - -Manju\TeX\ provides the common command -\verb|\bth| (as in {\bth bithe} \textit{bithe}) to switch to -Manju mode. A Manju font is selected and the Latin input is -automatically interpreted as transliterated Manju. The -transliteration closely follows Hauer's system and is presented in -the next section. - -\subsection{Using \ManjuTeX\ with \TeX} - -If you only use \LaTeXe\ then you can safely skip reading this -paragraph. - -Near the beginning of your \TeX\ document (or before your first -instance of Manju text) you have to input the Manju macros by saying -\begin{verbatim} - \input manju -\end{verbatim} -which will provide a size selection command, \verb*-msize-, and the -font switching command \verb*-\bth-. - -A complete Manju \TeX\ document could look like this: - -\exa - This is Manju:\\ - {\bth manju bithe} -\exb - \begin{verbatim} - \input manju - \msize - This is Manju:\\ - {\bth manju bithe} - \bye - \end{verbatim} -\exc - -In effect, three different font sizes can be selected using -\verb*-msize- (10~points), -\verb*-msizei- (11~points) and -\verb*-msizeii- (12~points). - -The commands to toggle between Manju writing and Computer Modern -are \verb*-\bth- and \verb*-\tenrm-, respectively. Please note that -\verb*-\tenrm- is redefined by \ManjuTeX\ to the effect that the size -selection command overrides the 10~point size of \verb*-\tenrm-% - \footnote{This `feature' was taken from the Tibetan - package.}. - -\subsection{Using \ManjuTeX\ with \LaTeXe} - -\LaTeXe\ users activate the Manju package by saying -\begin{verbatim} - \usepackage{manju} -\end{verbatim} -in the preamble of the document. The font selection command is -\verb*-\bth-. The size is set through the NFSS system. - -A Manju document could contain the following code snippet: - -\exa - This is Manju:\\ - {\bth manju bithe} -\exb - \begin{verbatim} - This is Manju:\\ - {\bth manju bithe} - \end{verbatim} -\exc - -\subsubsection{Vertical Text Capsules} - -With PostScript support it becomes possible to typeset vertical -capsules of Manju text. Simply issue the command \verb*-\mabosoo{}-, -include a text argument and see how it works: -\exa - \mabosoo{manju}\mabosoo{bithe} - is \textit{manju bithe}. -\exb - \begin{verbatim} - \mabosoo{manju}\mabosoo{bithe} - is \textit{manju bithe}. - \end{verbatim} -\exc - -\section{Character Set and Romanization} -Given by dictionary order, the system provides the following basic -character set: - -\subsection{Basic Character Set} -\newcommand{\ManjuEntry}[3]{\mabosoo{#1}& #2 & #3 } -\begin{center} -\begin{tabular}{ccc|ccc|ccc} -Manju&Input&Latin&Manju&Input&Latin&Manju&Input&Latin\\ -\hline -\ManjuEntry{a}{a}{a} & \ManjuEntry{h}{h}{h} & \ManjuEntry{c}{c}{c} \\ -\ManjuEntry{e}{e}{e} & \ManjuEntry{b}{b}{b} & \ManjuEntry{j}{j}{j} \\ -\ManjuEntry{i}{i}{i} & \ManjuEntry{p}{p}{p} & \ManjuEntry{y}{y}{y} \\ -\ManjuEntry{o*}{o}{o} & \ManjuEntry{s}{s}{s} & \ManjuEntry{k'}{k'}{k'}\\ -\ManjuEntry{u*}{u}{u} & \ManjuEntry{s'}{s'}{\v s}& \ManjuEntry{g'}{g'}{g'}\\ -\ManjuEntry{v}{v}{\={u}}& \ManjuEntry{t}{t}{t} & \ManjuEntry{h'}{h'}{h'}\\ -\ManjuEntry{n}{n}{n} & \ManjuEntry{d}{d}{d} & \ManjuEntry{r}{r}{r} \\ -\ManjuEntry{k}{k}{k} & \ManjuEntry{l}{l}{l} & \ManjuEntry{f}{f}{f} \\ -\ManjuEntry{g}{g}{g} & \ManjuEntry{m}{m}{m} & \ManjuEntry{w}{w}{w} \\ -\end{tabular} -\end{center} - -While the input method for the majority of characters matches the -transliteration conventions, some letters require a slightly -different treatment: -\begin{enumerate} - \item Although the diphtong \mabosoo{*aii*} is - usually rendered as \textit{ai}, it must be entered - as \texttt{aii} in order to produce the desired - effect. - \item The vowel which is conventionally rendered as \textit{\^u} - or \textit{\=u} \mabosoo{v} can be entered as \texttt{v} - or as \verb|\={u}| due to the fact that a character - \textit{\^u} is not readily available on most systems. - \item The consonant \textit{\v s} \mabosoo{s'} can be entered as - \texttt{s'}or as \verb|\v{s}|, but not as *\texttt{sh} - as to avoid undesired mergers of \textit{s} and \textit{h} - like in \textit{ishun} \mabosoo{ishun} which should not be - *\textit{i\v{s}un} \mabosoo{is'un}! -\end{enumerate} - -\subsection{Extended Character Set} -The following special characters listed in major dictionaries are -provided: -\begin{center} -\begin{tabular}{ccc} -Manju & Input &Latin\\ -\ManjuEntry{sy}{sy}{sy} \\ -\ManjuEntry{cy}{cy}{cy} \\ -\ManjuEntry{j'}{j'}{jy} \\ -\ManjuEntry{dz}{dz}{dz} \\ -\ManjuEntry{tsh}{tsh}{tsh} \\ -\ManjuEntry{tshy}{tshy}{tshy} \\ -\ManjuEntry{zr}{zr}{zr} \\ -\end{tabular} -\end{center} - -Please note that due to internal limitations of the retransliteration -engine, \textit{jy} \mabosoo{j'} has to be entered as \texttt{j'}. - -\subsection{Tibetan Transliteration Character Set} -Besides these characters, an additional small set of special characters -is provided for rendering Tibetan transliterations as given in the -Pentaglot dictionary: - -\begin{center} -\begin{tabular}{ccc} -Manju & Input &Latin \\ -\ManjuEntry{z}{z}{z} \\ -\ManjuEntry{zh}{zh}{zh} \\ -\ManjuEntry{ts}{ts}{ts} \\ -\ManjuEntry{ng'}{ng'}{ng'} \\ -\ManjuEntry{l'}{l'}{l'} \\ -\ManjuEntry{p'}{p'}{p'} \\ -\ManjuEntry{t'}{t'}{t'} \\ -\end{tabular} -\end{center} - -It becomes thus possible to spell out the Tibetan alphabet in -Manju writing, as used in the Pentaglot dictionary for Tibetan -and Uighur transliterations: - -\newcommand{\MT}[2]{{\tib #1} \textit{#1} \mabosoo{#2}} - -\newcommand{\ManjuTibetan}[8]{% - \tib #1 & \mabosoo{#2}& - \tib #3 & \mabosoo{#4}& - \tib #5 & \mabosoo{#6}& - \tib #7 & \mabosoo{#8}\\ - \tt #1 & \tt #2 & - \tt #3 & \tt #4 & - \tt #5 & \tt #6 & - \tt #7 & \tt #8\\ - } - -\begin{center} -\begin{tabular}{cc|cc|cc|cc} -\ManjuTibetan{ka}{g'a} {kha}{k'a} {ga}{ga} {nga}{ng'a} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{ca}{jiya} {cha}{cia} {ja}{ja} {nya}{niya} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{ta}{t'a} {tha}{ta} {da}{da} {na}{na} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{pa}{ba} {pha}{pa} {ba}{wa} {ma}{ma} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{tsa}{tsa} {tsha}{tsha} {dza}{dza} {wa}{wa} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{zha}{zha} {za}{za} {'}{ea} {ya}{ya} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{ra}{ra} {la}{la} {sha}{s'a} {sa}{sa} -\hline -\ManjuTibetan{ha}{h|a} {a}{a} {}{} {}{} -\end{tabular} -\end{center} - -Besides these basic representations, certain deviations exist: -\begin{enumerate} - \item \MT{nga}{ng'a} is used for Tibetan initials and subscripts; - finals are expressed as \mabosoo{*ng} - \item While \MT{ha}{h|a} is used for Tibetan initial - {\tib ha}, - a different form is taken for subscripted - \textit{ha}, as in \MT{lha}{l'|a}. -\end{enumerate} - -\subsection{Special Characters} - -Manju\TeX\ and its progenitor Mon\TeX\ share the complete -set of numbers and punctuation marks as well as a few special -characters used for influencing the presentation of the writing. - -Provided a word should end with a non-final glyph shape then the Environment -Marker \mabosoo{**} is used which is entered as an asterisque -\verb-*-. This is helpful for writing abbreviated words or marking -non-final vowels, like \mabosoo{o*} which is entered as \verb-o*-. - -Whenever the plethora of diacritics used in Manju writing causes -ugly clashes between adjacent letters, then the `backbone' (mong. -\textit{nirugu}), entered as \verb'|', can be used to stretch the -distance between clashing letter elements, like in \mabosoo{h|a} -which should be entered \verb-h|a- rather than \verb-ha- resulting -in \mabosoo{ha}. - -\section{Outlook and Desiderata} - -Unfortunately, some code positions in the Metafont sources of -\ManjuTeX\ haven't -been frozen yet which implies that documents containing Manju text -should be recompiled once a new version of this software is issued. - -In addition, the author is not happy yet with some of the -interaction performed by certain glyph combinations. This will have -to be refined definitely! - -With $\Omega$mega lurking around, \ManjuTeX\ should actually be obsolete -work. A unified encoding comprising all Mongolian writings has been -integrated into Unicode 3.0 and ISO 10646. The author needed a quick -solution for ongoing lexicographical work (the Pentaglot database, -that is) and will merge \ManjuTeX\ with the existing Mon\TeX\ system -later. At that point, there will also be full-featured $\Omega$mega -support. - -Anyway, whatever the mistakes and the shortcomings are that have -crept into this Manju system, I can only kindly ask you to blame me. - -\vspace{1cm} -\hfill\parbox{4cm}{\it Now go forth and create beautiful Manju text!\\ - Oliver Corff, Shenyang, April 1st, 2001} -\end{document} |
