Introduction. The Chakma people were in origin Tibeto-Burman, related to the Burmese. The language which they now speak is Indo-European, part of the Southeastern Bengali branch of Eastern Indo-Aryan. Its better-known closest relatives are Bengali, Assamese, Chittagonian, Bishnupriya, and Sylheti. It is spoken by 312,000 people in southeast Bangladesh near Chittagong City, and another 176,000 in India in Mizoram, Assam, Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh. Literacy in Chakma script is low. The script itself is also called Ajhā pāṭh, sometimes romanized Ojhopath. There is a certain amount of glyph variation between the script as used in India and Bangladesh. Some fonts are rounder, similar to the style used in Myanmar; compare a similar variation in the Tai Tham script as used in Khün Tai. The glyphs used in this proposal are based on the Chadigang font, with some alterations toward more “generic” shapes for some characters. The Chakma script is currently being adapted for use in Tanchangya, a language which is closely related to Chakma. An effort to develop the orthography is currently underway, and it appears that there may be additional letters, vowel signs, and tone marks added to cover this script.

  • Suspicious Identity of U+A9B5 JAVANESE VOWEL SIGN TOLONG
    L2/19-003 Suspicious identity of U+A9B5 JAVANESE VOWEL SIGN TOLONG Liang Hai / 梁海 <[email protected]> Aditya Bayu Perdana / <[email protected]> ꦄꦢꦶꦠꦾ ꦧꦪꦸꦥꦢꦤ 4 January 2019 1 Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Ilham Nurwansah and the Script Ad Hoc group for their feedback. Ilham Nurwansah also kindly provided the Sundanese samples (Figure 2, 3, 4, and 5). 2 Background In the original Unicode Javanese proposal L2/08-015R Proposal for encoding the Javanese script in the UCS, the character tolong (U+A9B5 JAVANESE VOWEL SIGN TOLONG) was described as a vowel sign that is used exclusively in the Sundanese writing system with three major use cases: 1. Used alone as the vowel sign o 2. As a part of the vowel sign eu: <vowel sign ĕ, tolong> 3. As a part of the letters and conjoined forms of reu/leu: <letter / conjoined form rĕ/lĕ, tolong> Table 1. Sundanese tolong usage according to the original proposal Written form ◌ ◌ꦵ ◌ꦼ ◌ꦼꦵ ◌� ◌�ꦵ A9C0 PANGKON A9BC PEPET Encoding (A9B5 TOLONG) A989 PA CEREK (A9B5 TOLONG) (A9B5 TOLONG) Transcription a o ĕ eu rĕ reu Pronunciation [a] [o] [ə] [ɤ] [rə] [rɤ] See also the note under Table 2. However, tolong appears to be merely a stylistic variant of tarung (U+A9B4 JAVANESE VOWEL SIGN TARUNG), therefore the disunification of tolong from tarung is likely a mistake. 3 Proposal The Unicode Standard needs to recommend how the inappropriately disunified character U+A9B5 JAVANESE VOWEL SIGN TOLONG should be handled. 1 In particular, clarification in the names list and the Core Specification is necessary for explaining the background of the mis-disunification and recommending how both the tarung and tolong forms for both the Javanese and Sundanese languages should be implemented.

As I look back I am happy to note that we are no longer a small group of people but now have thousands of people with us and behind us – enough to give confidence and momentum to march ahead. I bet we have just scratched the surface of what’s possible together. What an amazing journey together.

  • Susan Rodgers Sire Gar in a Gathering of Batak Village Grandmothers In
    A BATAK LITERATURE OF MODERNIZATION* Susan Rodgers Sire gar In a gathering of Batak village grandmothers in my house in 1976 to tape record some traditional ritual speech, one old ompu* 1 took the time to survey the changes in Batak kinship she had witnessed in her lifetime. Like many of her contemporar­ ies, she spoke warmly of the "more orderly" kinship world of her childhood, when people "still married who they should." She contrasted this halcyon age to present- day conditions: young people were marrying against the grain of the adat, house­ holds were ignoring their adat obligations to lend labor assistance to relatives in favor of concentrating on their own fields and farmwork, and her neighbors were beginning to forget some of the courtly eulogistic terms once used in addressing kinsmen. Fixing me with a stare and breaking out of her customary Angkola Batak2 into Indonesian, she delivered a final withering epithet on modern-day Batak family life: just one quality characterized it, "Merdeka di segala-gala--Freedom in every­ thing! " Change in the Angkola Batak kinship system in the last seventy to eighty years has indeed been considerable. Many of these changes have been reflected in Batak literature, which, in turn, has influenced the process. In fact, Batak oral and written literature has served the Batak as a medium for reformulating their kinship system in a time of rapid educational improvements, migration out of the ethnic homelands, and increasing contact with other ethnic societies and Indonesian nation­ al culture. In this paper I would like to investigate the relationship between Angkola Batak kinship and its locally authored literature as the society has modernized, fo­ cusing in particular on the subjects of courtship and marriage.

    JTC1/SC2/WG2 N3293 L2/07-233 2007-07-26 Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set International Organization for Standardization Organisation Internationale de Normalisation Международная организация по стандартизации Doc Type: Working Group Document Title: Preliminary proposal for encoding the Batak script in the UCS Source: Michael Everson Status: Individual Contribution Action: For consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Date: 2007-07-26 This is a preliminary proposal to encode the Batak script in the BMP of the UCS. 1. Introduction. The Batak script is (or was) used to write Toba, Mandailing, Dairi, and possibly other languages on the island of Sumatra. The alphabet is called si-sija-sija in Toba (van der Tuuk). Batak is read from left to right, but is often written similarly to Tagalog and Buhid, by writing vertically along the length of a piece of bamboo. 2. Unification. The different language groups share most of their letters in common, though sometimes a letter with a value in one language has a different value in another. This proposal encodes the superset of forms, regardless of pronunciation. 2.1. Mandailing. The Mandailing alphabetical order differs somewhat from Toba, and North Mandailing again differs slightly from South Mandailing. Some of the letter shapes are likewise slightly different; these are ha and sa. The rendering forms for the consonant vowel-sign combinations pa+u, sa+u, and la+u may differ from the forms used for Toba Batak. Mandailing uses two other letters for ka and ca sounds. These two letters are produced by putting a mark called tompi onto the normal letters for ha and sa.
