  • Secondary Indian Culture and Heritage
    Culture: An Introduction MODULE - I Understanding Culture Notes 1 CULTURE: AN INTRODUCTION he English word ‘Culture’ is derived from the Latin term ‘cult or cultus’ meaning tilling, or cultivating or refining and worship. In sum it means cultivating and refining Ta thing to such an extent that its end product evokes our admiration and respect. This is practically the same as ‘Sanskriti’ of the Sanskrit language. The term ‘Sanskriti’ has been derived from the root ‘Kri (to do) of Sanskrit language. Three words came from this root ‘Kri; prakriti’ (basic matter or condition), ‘Sanskriti’ (refined matter or condition) and ‘vikriti’ (modified or decayed matter or condition) when ‘prakriti’ or a raw material is refined it becomes ‘Sanskriti’ and when broken or damaged it becomes ‘vikriti’. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson you will be able to: understand the concept and meaning of culture; establish the relationship between culture and civilization; Establish the link between culture and heritage; discuss the role and impact of culture in human life. 1.1 CONCEPT OF CULTURE Culture is a way of life.

DESCRIPTORS *Bibliographic Records; Classification; Cyrillic Alphabet; Ideography; Indo European Languages; Library Automation; Library Catalogs; *Library Technical Processes; *Machine Readable Cataloging; *Non Roman Scripts; Online Catalogs;Semitic Languages; Standards; *Written Language IDENTIFIERS Asian Languages; Indic Languages; MARC; *Unicode ABSTRACT The dilemma of cataloging works in writingsystems other than the roman alphabet is explored.Some characteristics of these writing system are reviewed, and theimplications of these characteristics for input, retrieval, sorting,and display needed for adequate online catalogs of such worksare considered. Reasons why needs have not been met are discussed, andsome of the ways they might be met are examined. The followingare four groups into which non-roman systems are generally divided for simplicityand features that have implications for cataloging: (1)European scripts--upper and lower case (Greek, Cyrillic, and Armenian);(2) Semitic scripts--read right to left (Hebrew and Arabic);(3) Indic scripts--implicit vowel (indigenous scriptsof India and Nepal); and (4) East Asian scripts--verylarge character repertoires (Chinese, Korean, and Japanese). Unicode, which isan effort to define a character set that includes the letters,punctuation, and characters for all the world's writing systemsoffers assistance in cataloging, and will probably becomean international standard late in 1992.

Introduction According to D.C Sircar, the Brahmi script and the Prakrit language are the two salient features of Maurya inscriptions found outside the uttarapatha division of ancient Bharatavarsa (Kumaridvipa). The Brahmi script is read from left to right. According to earlty Indian literary traditions, Brahma, the brahmanical god of creation, is usually believed to be the creator of the speech and, thus, the script also. Scholars are of different opinions regarding the origin of Brahmi. According to some scholars, Brahmi is an indigenous script that developed in India. Others believe that it is an Indian modification of a foreign system of writing exactly like Kharosthi, the exact path which is still difficult to trace. Sircar suggests that the development of the Brahmi script can be assumed to be the result of an attempt to write the Middle Indo-Aryan languages in the alien script of the prehistoric peoples of India.

Introduction. An alphabetic script for the Fulani language began to be devised in the 1980s by brothers Ibrahima Barry and Abdoulaye Barry, when they were children in Guinea. One of them asked their father why they could not write their language, and when their father wrote a few words in Fulani in Arabic script, he said “That’s not our script. We should have our own.” Some time later the boys proved to their father that they had devised by engaging in blind testing—similar to the way in which Sequoyah proved the efficacy of the Cherokee syllabary to his colleagues. One wrote a text and left the room; his brother came in and read it aloud, and then wrote down something else that he was told to write. Then he left the room and his sister, who had learned the script, came in to read what he had written. Over the next few years the Adlam script continued development. It is currently in use in Guinea and in other countries, and its use is increasing. 2. Structure. Adlam is a casing script with right-to-left directionality.

  • General Historical and Analytical / Writing Systems: Recent Script
    9 Writing systems Edited by Elena Bashir 9,1. Introduction By Elena Bashir The relations between spoken language and the visual symbols (graphemes) used to represent it are complex. Orthographies can be thought of as situated on a con- tinuum from “deep” — systems in which there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the sounds of the language and its graphemes — to “shallow” — systems in which the relationship between sounds and graphemes is regular and trans- parent (see Roberts & Joyce 2012 for a recent discussion). In orthographies for Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages based on the Arabic script and writing system, the retention of historical spellings for words of Arabic or Persian origin increases the orthographic depth of these systems. Decisions on how to write a language always carry historical, cultural, and political meaning. Debates about orthography usually focus on such issues rather than on linguistic analysis; this can be seen in Pakistan, for example, in discussions regarding orthography for Kalasha, Wakhi, or Balti, and in Afghanistan regarding Wakhi or Pashai. Questions of orthography are intertwined with language ideology, language planning activities, and goals like literacy or standardization. Woolard 1998, Brandt 2014, and Sebba 2007 are valuable treatments of such issues. In Section 9.2, Stefan Baums discusses the historical development and general characteristics of the (non Perso-Arabic) writing systems used for South Asian languages, and his Section 9.3 deals with recent research on alphasyllabic writing systems, script-related literacy and language-learning studies, representation of South Asian languages in Unicode, and recent debates about the Indus Valley inscriptions.
