Resolutions adopted at the Eighth United Nations Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names: 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1998, 2002 Submitted by UNGEGN Bureau** _____________________________ * E/CONF.98/1 ** Prepared by Helen Kerfoot (Canada), Chair, UNGEGN RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT THE EIGHT UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCES ON THE STANDARDIZATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL NAM ES 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1998, 2002 * * * * * * A. LISTED BY SUBJECT B. CROSS-REFERENCED BY CONFERENCE APPENDIX 1 œ LIST OF UN REPORTS OF THE SEVEN CONFERENCES * * * * PREPARED FOR THE UNITED NATIONS BY NATURAL RESOURCES CANADA INTRODUCTION The eight United Nations Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names (convened in 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1998, and 2002) have adopted 184 resolutions. Under the guidance of Max de Henseler, a former Secretary of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN), the resolutions of the first four conferences were grouped under general subject headings, and documented for the Fifth Conference held in Montréal in 1987. Following that conference, the Secretariat of the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names* compiled a compendium to include all the resolutions of the first five conferences; subsequent editions added resolutions from the Sixth and Seventh Conferences. Now, this current edition includes the 17 resolutions adopted at the Eighth Conference. To make this reference volume as useful as possible, the footnotes and references have been updated to facilitate consultation, and a table has been included to indicate under which subject heading each resolution is to be found. In 1987, the considerable variation in scope, importance, and applicability of the resolutions was noted. Therefore, following the Fifth Conference, UNGEGN created a W orking Group on Evaluation. Among its tasks was the evaluation of all resolutions from the perspective of their substantive effects on the state of geographical names standardization at national and international levels. The first edition of this document proved to be a useful tool for this W orking Group. It is hoped that the current edition will be a valuable reference for all those involved in the work of UNGEGN and of the Ninth UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names. Helen Kerfoot Chair, UNGEGN 2004 * The Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names became the Geographical Names Board of Canada in March 2000. - i - TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE A.

  • Korean Romanization
    Checked for validity and accuracy – October 2017 ROMANIZATION OF KOREAN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA McCune-Reischauer System (with minor modifications) BGN/PCGN 1945 Agreement This system for romanizing Korean was devised by G.M. McCune and E.O. Reischauer, and was originally published in the Transactions of the Korea Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, Volume XXIX, 1939. It has been used by the BGN since 1943, and was later adopted for use by the PCGN. Until 2011 it was used by BGN and PCGN for the romanization of Korean geographical names in Korea as a whole. In 2011 BGN and PCGN approved the use of the Republic of Korea’s national system (created by the ROK’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2000) for the romanization of Korean in the Republic of Korea only. As of 2011, therefore, this McCune-Reischauer system is used by BGN and PCGN only for the romanization of geographical names in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. A main characteristic of this system is the attempt to represent approximate Korean pronunciation, while systematically converting the han’gŭl characters to corresponding Roman-script letters. Since Korean pronunciation is often inconsistently represented in han’gŭl, the McCune-Reischauer conversion tables are rather elaborate, and reverse conversion (from Roman-script back to han’gŭl) presents varied difficulties. Since the McCune-Reischauer system was first introduced, there have been a number of orthographical developments in Korean, giving rise to han’gŭl letter combinations not addressed by the original system. These additional graphic environments have been assessed, and are addressed here.

  • A History of Siamese Music Reconstructed from Western Documents 1505-1932
    A HISTORY OF SIAMESE MUSIC RECONSTRUCTED FROM WESTERN DOCUMENTS 1505-1932 This content downloaded from 96.9.90.37 on Thu, 04 Feb 2021 07:36:11 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Introduction The writing of music history, the chief activity of the musicologist, depends almost entirely on the existence of written documents. Historical studies of various musics of the world have appeared wherever there are such documents: Europe, China, Japan, Korea, India, and in the Islamic cultural area of Western Asia and North Africa. Mainland Southeast Asia, however, has remained much of a musico-historical void since little has remained besides oral traditions and a few stone carvings, although Vietnamese music is an exception to this statement. The fact that these countries have so few trained musicologists also contributes to the lack of research. In the case of the Kingdom of Thailand, known before 1932 as Siam, little has been attempted in the way of music history in languages other than Thai, and those in Thai, also not plentiful, remain unknown to the outside world.l Only the European-trained Prince Damrong has attempted a comprehensive history, but it is based as much on tradition and conjecture as on concrete evidence and is besides quite brief. David Morton's classic study of Thai traditional music, The Traditional Music of Thailand, includes some eighteen pages of history, mostly based on oral traditions, conjecture, circumstantial evidence from neighboring musical cultures (Cambodia, China, and India), and some from the same documents used in this study. At least three reasons can be given for the lack of historical materials originating in Thailand.

Compilation © 2018 Washington International Law Journal Association HANGEUL AS A TOOL OF RESISTANCE AGAINST FORCED ASSIMILATION: MAKING SENSE OF THE FRAMEWORK ACT ON KOREAN LANGUAGE Minjung (Michelle) Hur† Abstract: Language policies that mandate a government use a single language may seem controversial and unconstitutional. English-only policies are often seen as xenophobic and discriminatory. However, that may not be the case for South Korea’s Framework Act on Korean Language, which mandates the use of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, for official documents by government institutions. Despite the resemblance between the Framework Act on Korean Language and English-only policies, the Framework Act should be understood differently than English-only policies because the Hangeul-only movement has an inverse history to English-only movements.

  • Choochart Haruechaiyasak, NECTEC, THAILAND
    Plangsarn: Thai Romanization Library Application Srichan Chancheewa, THAMMASAT UNIVERSITYDr. Choochart Haruechaiyasak, NECTEC, THAILAND Why do we need this application? before after Background and Motivation • Romanization is the representation of a written word or spoken speech with the Roman (Latin) script. • Two main methods of romanization are (1) Transliteration: for representing written text, (2) Transcription: for representing the spoken word, (2.1) phonemic transcription: records the phonemes or units of semantic meaning in speech (2.2) phonetic transcription: records speech sounds with precision. Background and Motivation • Phonetic transcription attempts to depict all phones in the source language. • We adopt the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). • IPA is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. • IPA was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of oral language. • IPA symbols are composed of one or more elements of two basic types, letters and diacritics. Background and Motivation • For library cataloging, there is a guideline for preparing romanization: –ALA-LC Romanization Tables: Transliteration Schemes for Non-Roman Scripts, which is approved by the Library of Congress and the American Library Association. –ALA-LC is a set of standards for romanization, or the representation of text in other writing systems using the Latin alphabet. Objective • Design and implement a system for automatically romanizing Thai texts with the focus on bibliographic data. • The system is intended to support librarians who perform the cataloguing task. • The system is called Plangsarn (แปลงสาส์น). –plang (แปลง) = transform –sarn (สาส์น) = text, message Plangsarn’s System Architecture • Lexicon contains Thai word list with romanization.
