The Soyombo -script and the Soyombo symbol were both developed in 1686 by -the famous Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar. Modelled after -the Lantsa-Dewanagari script, the Soyombo 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 Soyombo symbol (the symbol appearing in the -title of this article) however, can be seen virtually everywhere: -on the national flag, on money, on books --- the instances are -too numerous to be counted. - -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, some 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, „, o, ”}) or in the lower third of the character -box (in the cases of {\em , u}). A secondary consonant, i.e. -a consonant closing the syllable, can be added to the basic character; -it is then placed in the right third of the lower third of the -character box. Long vowels are marked by a protruding tip of -the right-side beam. there are two diphthongs, {\em Vu, Vi}, -which are both attached to the right side of the basic character. - -Figure~\ref{soyombo:structure} shows how the letters are composed. - -\begin{figure} -%TexCad Options -%\grade{\on} -%\emlines{\off} -%\beziermacro{\off} -%\reduce{\on} -%\snapping{\off} -%\quality{2.00} -%\graddiff{0.01} -%\snapasp{1} -%\zoom{1.00} -\unitlength 1.00mm -\linethickness{0.4pt} -\begin{picture}(73.00,66.00) -\put(30.00,5.00){\framebox(25.00,50.00)[cc]{Basic Area}} -\put(63.67,5.00){\dashbox{1.00}(9.33,50.00)[cc]{Di.}} -\put(30.00,56.00){\dashbox{1.00}(25.00,10.00)[cc]{Vowel(t)}} -\put(30.50,5.50){\dashbox{1.00}(14.67,13.50)[cc]{Vowel(b)}} -\put(46.50,5.50){\dashbox{1.00}(7.67,13.50)[cc]{Cns.}} -\put(56.00,5.00){\framebox(6.67,50.00)[cc]{Be.}} -%\emline(31.00,54.00)(54.00,54.00) -\put(31.00,54.00){\line(1,0){23.00}} -%\end -%\emline(54.00,54.00)(42.00,48.00) -\multiput(54.00,54.00)(-0.24,-0.12){50}{\line(-1,0){0.24}} -%\end -%\emline(42.00,48.00)(31.00,54.00) -\multiput(42.00,48.00)(-0.22,0.12){50}{\line(-1,0){0.22}} -%\end -%\emline(56.00,4.33)(62.67,4.33) -\put(56.00,4.33){\line(1,0){6.67}} -%\end -%\emline(62.67,4.33)(65.67,0.00) -\multiput(62.67,4.33)(0.12,-0.17){26}{\line(0,-1){0.17}} -%\end -%\emline(65.67,0.00)(56.00,4.33) -\multiput(65.67,0.00)(-0.26,0.12){37}{\line(-1,0){0.26}} -%\end -\end{picture} -\caption{The Structural Layout of Soyombo Characters} -\label{soyombo:structure} -\end{figure} - - -\section{How to use the Soyombo package} -This section describes which files are necessary, which commands -are needed for invoking the Soyombo symbol and characters, and -how special symbols are entered. - -\subsection{Necessary files} -The Soyombo package consists of the following files: -\begin{description} -\item [Package] The file {\tt soyombo.sty} provides all necessary - declarations and commands for selecting and entering the - Soyombo symbol and script. Place this file somewhere where your - \LaTeX\ installation will find it. In {\tt emtex} systems, - this could be the path \verb"\emtex\texinput\mls" assuming you - have a subdirectory named \verb"mls" which holds everything - necessary for Mongolian Language Support. -\item [Fonts] The font files {\tt soyombo.mf} and {\tt soyombot.mf} - provide the alphabet and the symbol, respectively. They should - reside in a directory where {\sc Metafont} can find them, e.~g. - \verb"\emtex\mfinput\mls". Here again, it is assumed that a - directory \verb"mls" has been created for holding these and - other fonts necessary for typesetting Mongolian. -\item [Font Metrics] The font metrics files {\tt soyombo.tfm} and - {\tt soyombot.tfm} go into \verb"\emtex\tfm\mls". -\item [Documentation] This file is named {\tt soyo4tex.tex}. You - are reading it at the moment. It can be placed in the same directory - as {\tt soyombo.sty} or in a separate directory in the - \verb"\emtex\doc" branch. -\end{description} - -\subsection{Declarations and Commands} -In order to use the Soyombo script, the preamble of your document -must contain the declaration \verb"\usepackage{soyombo}". This -is the only necessary step. Two commands become available then: -\verb"\Soyombo" produces the Soyombo symbol (see the title of -this artice), and \verb"\soyombo" switches to the Soyombo character -set. - -\subsection{Input method} -Within an environment declared by \verb"\soyombo", entering most -of the basic characters is straightforward. Initial consonants -are entered as such. Except for {\em a} which is not marked vowels are entered by -using lowercase letters for back vowels and uppercase letters -for front vowels: {\em o ” u } are entered as {\tt o O u U}. -Both {\tt u U} have -a form variant entered as {\tt v V} which is shorter and used -for combinations with final consonants. - -Syllable finals are entered in uppercase. In most cases, the -same letter as for the initial (and lowercase) version is used. - -The following example shows how the words {\em xamu\g\ s„dgil-t} -written in Soyombo {\soyombo kmvG seDgiLtU} translate into a -sequence of transliteration and input characters. - -\begin{center} -\begin{tabular}{|r|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} -\hline -Original & -\multicolumn{2}{c|}{\soyombo k} & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\soyombo mvG}&& -\multicolumn{3}{c|}{\soyombo seD} & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\soyombo giL}&& -\multicolumn{2}{c|}{\soyombo tU} \\ - -\hline -Decomposed & \soyombo k & & \soyombo m & \soyombo `u & \soyombo `G & & \soyombo s & -\soyombo `e & \soyombo `D & \soyombo g & \soyombo `i & \soyombo `L & -& \soyombo t & \soyombo `U \\ -\hline -Transliterated & x & a & m & u & \g & & s & „ & d & g & i & l & - & t & \\ -\hline -Input & k && m & v & G & & s & e & D & g & i & L & & t & U \\ -\hline -\end{tabular} -\end{center} - -In order to show the construction of the Soyombo characters (for -writing text books, etc.) one blind or dummy character {\soyombo `} -was created which does not appear in the original alphabet. - -The symbols used for -writing Sanskrit and Tibetan are accessed by control sequences -in the form of \verb"\sXX" where \verb"\s" stands for Soyombo -and {\tt XX} has to be replaced by a one-, two- or three-letter -combination found in the encoding table. - -\begin{figure} -\begin{center} -% :set tabstop=4 !
