  • An Introduction to Indic Scripts
    An Introduction to Indic Scripts Richard Ishida W3C [email protected] HTML version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.html PDF version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.pdf Introduction This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper include specifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running Windows XP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts not yet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non- Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view all fonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above. Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. To provide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and space for the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general level there is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features along the same lines for each of the scripts in the set.

K. NARAYAN was born on October 10, 1906, in Madras, South India, and educated there and at Maharaja’s College in Mysore. His first novel, Swami and Friends (1935), and its successor, The Bachelor of Arts (1937), are both set in the fictional territory of Malgudi, of which John Updike wrote, “Few writers since Dickens can match the effect of colorful teeming that Narayan’s fictional city of Malgudi conveys; its population is as sharply chiseled as a temple frieze, and as endless, with always, one feels, more characters round the corner.” Narayan wrote many more novels set in Malgudi, including The English Teacher (1945), The Financial Expert (1952), and The Guide (1958), which won him the Sahitya Akademi (India’s National Academy of Letters) Award, his country’s highest honor. His collections of short fiction include A Horse and Two Goats, Malgudi Days, and Under the Banyan Tree. Graham Greene, Narayan’s friend and literary champion, said, “He has offered me a second home. Without him I could never have known what it is like to be Indian.” Narayan’s fiction earned him comparisons to the work of writers including Anton Chekhov, William Faulkner, O.

  • Designing Devanagari Type
    Designing Devanagari type The effect of technological restrictions on current practice Kinnat Sóley Lydon BA degree final project Iceland Academy of the Arts Department of Design and Architecture Designing Devanagari type: The effect of technological restrictions on current practice Kinnat Sóley Lydon Final project for a BA degree in graphic design Advisor: Gunnar Vilhjálmsson Graphic design Department of Design and Architecture December 2015 This thesis is a 6 ECTS final project for a Bachelor of Arts degree in graphic design. No part of this thesis may be reproduced in any form without the express consent of the author. Abstract This thesis explores the current process of designing typefaces for Devanagari, a script used to write several languages in India and Nepal. The typographical needs of the script have been insufficiently met through history and many Devanagari typefaces are poorly designed. As the various printing technologies available through the centuries have had drastic effects on the design of Devanagari, the thesis begins with an exploration of the printing history of the script. Through this exploration it is possible to understand which design elements constitute the script, and which ones are simply legacies of older technologies. Following the historic overview, the character set and unique behavior of the script is introduced. The typographical anatomy is analyzed, while pointing out specific design elements of the script. Although recent years has seen a rise of interest on the subject of Devanagari type design, literature on the topic remains sparse. This thesis references books and articles from a wide scope, relying heavily on the works of Fiona Ross and her extensive research on non-Latin typography.

However, without a standard for how an alphabet is encoded in a Punjabi font, different machines and browsers across the world interpret the alphabet differently. One of the solutions to this problem is embracing Unicode[14] standards. With Uni- code, a specific font has one and only one code point or digital signature across all machines around the world. Our online group of volunteers at Punjabi Open Source Team[1][33][2][3] have been working since 2004 to create and absorb Unicode stan- dards in Gurmukhi and translating open source softwares into Punjabi. Through this paper we hope to highlight the development and achievements of a group of globally separated volunteers who have been able to come together to become one of the most successful open source Indic language communities.

  • 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.

Emma Williams, September 2008 Part two: Development of the printed character Conclusion Bibliography Appendix Submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the Master of Arts in Typeface Design, Department of Typography and Graphic Communication, at the University of Reading, United Kingdom Typeset in Minion Pro and Linotype Gurmukhi A comparative study of the development of the Gurmukhi script Development of the printed character This entire chapter is loosely organised upon the major technology developments over the past three hundred years: metal type, both hand and machine composed and the early and current digital format. Each will be elaborated upon when and where is necessary.49 The first three sub-chapters refer to text typefaces which were designed in metal for hand composition, and are arranged by location: India, England and Europe. In Typography for Devanagari, Naik explains and illustrates the various typesetting systems: degree and akhand50 [figure 52]. The degree system ‘is assembled in three steps.’51 The character is divided into a total of four ems:52 one em for the superior and subscript diacritics and two ems for the base character, or in instances where a Degree system subscript character is not necessary, a three em base character can be used to create the required total of four ems [figure 52]. Figure 53: Nomencalature for a metal The akhand system uses as few components as possible to create the sort (character).

  • PITS@Dravidian-Codemix-FIRE2020: Traditional Approach to Noisy Code-Mixed Sentiment Analysis
    PITS@Dravidian-CodeMix-FIRE2020: Traditional Approach to Noisy Code-Mixed Sentiment Analysis Nikita Kanwara, Megha Agarwala and Rajesh Kumar Mundotiyab aPratap Institute of Technology & Science, India bIndian Institute of Technology (BHU), India Abstract Sentiment Analysis (SA) is a process for characterizing the response or opinion by which sentiment polarity of the text is decided. Nowadays, social media is a common platform to convey opinions, sug- gestions and much more in a user’s native language or multilingual in Roman script (for ease). In this task, Malayalam-English and Tamil-English code mixed dataset in the Roman script has provided for SA. To solve this task, we have generated syntax-based features and used trained logistic regression with as an under-sampling technique. We have obtained best F1-score of 0:71 and 0:62 on the blind test set of Malayalam-English and Tamil-English code mixed datasets, respectively. The code is available at Github1. Keywords Malayalam-English code-mixed, Tamil-English code-mixed, Sentiment Analysis, Logistic Regression, 1. Introduction Sentiment Analysis (SA) is a process for characterizing the response or opinion, which de- termines sentiment polarity of the text. In the last few years, social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube have become increasingly large, which in turn produced textual data as people express their feelings and opinions by writing reviews, comments on social media. A large number of texts on such platforms are available in either user’s native language, English or a mixture of both. According to Myers-Scotton (1993), code-mixing is defined as – “The interchangeable use of linguistic units, like morphs, words, and phrases from one language to another language while conversation (both speaking and writing)” [1].
