  • Deciphering Old German Documents Using the Online German Script Tutorial Bradley J
    Deciphering Old German Documents Using the Online German Script Tutorial Bradley J. York Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University Abstract The German Script Tutorial (http://script.byu.edu/german) is a new online resource for learning how to decipher documents written in old German script. The German Script Tutorial provides descriptions and actual examples of each German letter. Animations demonstrate how each letter is written. Tests assess users’ ability to read and write letters, words, and passages. User accounts allow users to save their test scores and keep track of which letters they need to practice. The tutorial also provides basic guidelines on how to find vital (i.e., genealogical) in- formation in old German documents. Introduction One of the greatest difficulties in German genealogical research is deciphering old docu- ments and manuscripts written in old German script. The term old German script refers to the handwriting and typefaces that were widely used in German-speaking countries from me- dieval times to the end of World War II. Al- though old German script was based on the Latin alphabet, as were old English, French, Italian, and Spanish scripts, individual letters of old German script may appear to the untrained eye as unique as letters of the Cyrillic or even Arabic alphabets. Since old German script has not been taught in German schools since the 1950’s, even most native Germans are unable to read and write it nowadays. Thus, decipher- This is an old German emigration document consisting of printed and handwritten information. Both the hand- ing old German documents is problematic for writing and the printed Fraktur typeface are styles of old German script.

  • Report of the Mikrusian Alphabet 1 Introduction
    Report of the Mikrusian alphabet 1 Introduction People of Earth speak in different languages. There are several hundreds of various languages. Each language is characterized by its own specific set of sounds and by a peculiarity of their articulation. However, there are people that regard their native languages as same ones, live in distant regions, and articulate equal-sense words with some difference. And the difference may be only in a point that some sounds are articulated with a moderate difference. The typical example is a situation with German language natives in different regions of Europe. In spite of this, these people communicate with each other without problems in understanding and they kick the articulation distinction to «accent», «dialect», «patois», or another term. Furthermore, there exist people that articulate individual sounds slightly in a different way in comparison with other “same-language” inhabitants of the same region. Usually this is classified by speech therapists as a speech defect. But this does not lead to problems in understanding such humans “with defect”. This is connected with the following: each listener identifies all “similar” sounds for himself. Our brain acts analogously when it analyzes all sounds in speech. The brain identifies sounds that belong to a certain range; it consider them as equal, as “equivalent”. 1.1 Classification subproblems In spite of such variety of languages, the variety of speech sounds is stipulated and bounded by possibilities of a human vocal apparatus. It has approximately the same possibilities in speech for all people (with rare exceptions of pathologies). The question arises: is it possible to classify sounds that a human vocal apparatus can generate in speech? As for any classification problem, one should solve the following subproblems.

    Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font Johanne< Gutenberg 1455 German Fraktur represents one of the most interesting families of typefaces in the history of printing. Few types have had such a turbulent history, and even fewer have been alter- nately praised and despised throughout their history. Only recently has Fraktur been rediscovered for what it is: a beau- tiful way of putting words into written form. Walden Font is proud to pres- ent, for the first time, an edition of 18 classic Fraktur and German Script fonts from five centuries for use on your home computer. This booklet describes the history of each font and provides you with samples for its use. Also included are the standard typeset- ting instructions for Fraktur ligatures and the special characters of the Gutenberg Bibelschrift. We hope you find the Gutenberg Press to be an entertaining and educational publishing tool. We certainly welcome your comments and sug- gestions.

    A Brief History of the Blackletter Font Style By: Linda Tseng ● Blackletter font also called Fraktur, Gothic, or Old English. ● From Western Europe such as Germany, Germany use Gothic until World War II. ● During twelfth century to twenty century. ● Blackletter hands were called Gothic by the modernist Lorenzo Valla and others in middle fifteenth century in Italy. ● Used to describe the scripts of the Middle Ages in which the darkness of the characters overpowers the whiteness of the page. ● In the 1500’s, blackletter became less popular for printing in a lots of countries except Germany and the Countries that speaking German. ● The best Textura specimen in the Gutenberg Museum Library’s collection is comes from Great Britain. Overview ● Rotunda types, the second oldest blackletter style never really caught on as a book type in German speaking lands, although twentieth century calligraphers, as well as arts and crafts designers, have used it quite well for display purposes. ● Cursiva- developed in the 14th century as a simple form of textualis. ● Hybrida( bastarda)- a mixture of textualis and cursiva, and it’s developed in the early 15th century. ● Donatus Kalender- the name for the metal type design that Gutenberg used in his earliest surviving printed works, and it’s from the early 1450s. Blackletters are difficult to read as body text so they are better used for headings, logos, posters and signs. ● Newspaper headlines, magazine, Fette Fraktur are used for old fashioned headlines and beer advertising. ● Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch adorns many wine label. ● Linotext and Old English are popular choices for certificates.
