1. Purpose

This proposal brings together a number of previous proposals for scripts used to write the Himalayish Tibeto-Burman , to unify them within a single proposed code block. The proposals and other documents being unified are: N3649 L2/09-192 2009-05-04 Preliminary proposal for encoding the Rañjana script in the SMP of the UCS N3692 L2/09-325 2009-09-28 Roadmapping the scripts of Nepal N3962 2011-01-25 Preliminary Proposal to Encode the Jenticha Script in ISO/IEC 10646. N3963 2011-01-25 Preliminary Proposal to Encode the Tikamuli Script in ISO/IEC 10646. N4018 2011-04-13 Introducing the Khambu Rai Script. N4019 2011-04-13 Introducing the Khema Script for Writing Gurung. N4028 2011-05-31 Proposal to Encode the Jenticha Script in ISO/IEC 10646. N4036 2011-05-01 Introducing the Magar Akkha Script. N4037 2011-05-01 Introducing the Kirat Rai Script. N4038 2011-05-03 Preliminary Proposal to Encode the Prachalit Nepal Script in ISO.IEC 10646. N4140 2011-09-29 Introducing a Script for Writing Dhimal. N4184 2012-01-05 Proposal to Encode the Newar Script in ISO.IEC 10646. N4322 2012-02-05 Proposal for the Nepaalalipi script in the UCS This proposal also considers other languages currently written using extended forms of ; the writing of these languages has been analysed in detail by Michael Noonan in his 2003 paper Recent Adaptations of the Devanagari Script for the Tibeto- Burman Languages of Nepal . He covers the writing of Gurung as well as the writing of Chantyal, Tamang, Sherpa, Thangmi and Limbu. He has collected together the phonology of all these languages as well as showing how they can be written in Devanagari. The use of Devanagari must be considered a passing phase, just as it has been for Limbu written in Devanagari until the encoding of their Sirijanga script in Unicode and the production of appropriate fonts. This proposal is intended to gain agreement that a unification of the writing of all these languages and other languages in the Himalayish group within Nepal would be

2012-10-08 1 N4347 Proposal to Encode Nepal Himalayish Scripts in ISO/IEC 10646 Pat Hall beneficial to the 4 million members of the linguistic communities concerned. It would also be able to embrace antiquarian writing of other languages, notably , with the addition of extra characters not required for the living languages, in much the same way as the Devanagari code block has been extended for this purpose. Following agreement in principle a full proposal will be developed in concert with all the language communities in Nepal and other interested parties, as well as experts in Nepal currently involved in documenting the languages of the country and in that context devising methods of transcribing them.

2. Name for the code block

We propose that the code block is named Himalayish. There has been considerable debate about the naming of a proposed code block for the Prachalit script used by the Newar community – the original proposal from Pandey (N4038) named the block “Prachalit”, but the revised proposal (N4184) renamed it “Newar” while the alternative proposal by Manandhar and colleagues (N4322) proposed the name “Nepaalalipi”. This led to considerable debate, with “Nepaalalipi” being deprecated because it contains the word “lipi” which means “script”. Much of the debate focused on the need for an English term appropriate for the scripts, languages and community being served by the code block. In this case the scripts and languages belong to the Tibeto-Burman speaking communities of Nepal living predominantly in the hills and mountains in the north of country. In Nepal the communities are often divided into three sections: • the Madeshi who live on the southern plains, the Terai, mostly speaking Indo-Aryan languages such as Maithili, Awadhi, Bhojpujri, and Tharu, with a few small Dravidian and Austroasiatic speaking communities. • the Pahadi, also called Pahari, who live in the hills, the foothills of the . “Pahad” or “Pahar” means mountain in Nepali, and other languages of the area. Ethnologue lists a Pahari subfamily of the Indo-Aryan family of languages, with many languages across the region from Kashmir to . The Pahari group includes Nepali, claimed by around half the population of Nepal as their mother tongue. • the Himali who live in the mountains, and speak Tibeto-Burman languages. Ethnologue shows a language subfamily Himalayish within the Tibeto-Burman family of languages, which covers all of the Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal, but also languages in and a few languages in It thus does seem that “Himalayish”, or simply “Himal” or “Himali”, would be a suitable name to the code block. To avoid confusion with the current proprietary uses of “Himal” and “Himali”, I suggest “Himalayish”.

3. The Scripts and Languages

In order to unify the various proposals we need to align the proposed character sets, and will use the English names given to these for this purpose. The English names give simple phonetic transliterations of the characters, and we will also consider the Devanagari equivalents and the full phonology expressed in ipa where appropriate.

2012-10-08 2 N4347 Proposal to Encode Nepal Himalayish Scripts in ISO/IEC 10646 Pat Hall

Appendix 1 gives a table of the proposed character sets for each of the script-language pairs for all the proposals listed above, plus the languages covered by Noonan indicating what needs to be represented in the writing by reference to the phonology given by him. The phonological requirements of the have been added by drawing upon Hale and Shrestha (2005). What this gives us is a superset that covers all scripts and languages in the set being considered. Of the Himalayish linguistic communities who would be supported with this proposal, only the Newars have a mature written tradition with a variety of styles of writing that have evolved so that they fit comfortably with the modern orthography of the language as it is spoken and written today. Limbu has a script dating back several hundred years is used in limited domains but is now encoded in Unicode while Lepcha is in a similar position but is predominantly an Indian language of . The rest of the proposals listed above have newly created writing, with some of them now being used for printing newspapers while others have yet to be used. For a language that is currently unwritten, the procedure recommended by UNESCO (Robinson and Gadelli 2003) is to base this on a thorough phonemic analysis of the spoken language and then extend a locally dominant to fit the new language; this is precisely what the analysis by Noonan reports, leading to the adaptation of Devanagari for writing the languages Gurung, Tamang, Sherpa, Thangmi and Chantyal. By contrast the writing described in the ISO/SC2/WG2 proposals for Magar, Gurung, Bantawa, Sunuwar and Dhimal does not appear to have been based on phonological analysis though the authors will have been very familiar with the spoken Documentary evidence for the popularity or use of these so-called “nine scripts” (the eight PRACALIT languagescripts and plus thus Rañjana) influenced is rare byexcept this for while Rañjana, also Golmol being and influenced current Pracalit by writing script insystems which the used inmajority communities of Nepalese around manuscripts them. and The inscriptions status werethe writingwritten fromof these the 15th languages to 18th centuries is CE. discussedGolmol in theis said sections to have beenbelow. introduced in Nepal by Bhaumagupta (ca. late 6th century CE.).

Nepal Bhasa. Encoding considerations. It should first be said that some members of the user community have criticized the idea of unifying these “scripts”. It may be that this is a misunderstanding of the UCS; the analogy of the Latin script with its Gaelic and Fraktur variants, however, is probably applicable, which is why the recommendations here have been made.

Structurally, in the SMP ག  ofRañjana’s the UCS behaviour N3649 isL2/09-192 classically Brahmic; is a stack: is a conjunct . Using the Tibetan model would seem to be artificial. Further discussion of the options and elaboration on this point is expected during the proposal process itself.

2012-10-08The Rañjana scripts differ in many ways from Tibetan. Both of them (and all the PRACALIT scripts) 3 have unique Brahmic voiced aspirates  gha,  jha,  ḍha,  dha, rather than the Tibetan stacked གྷ, ཇ, ཌྷ, དྷ, བྷ, which are decomposed for Tibetan in Normalization Form C, so a one-to-one transliteration is in any case not feasible.

Figures 17, 18, and 19 show examples of Rañjana consonant clusters. These are not simple stacks or even complex consonant conjuncts: they are monograms representing seed syllables, and should probably be encoded as such. Some of these may also be “example” clusters, such as kkhgghṅa (ka + kha + ga + gha + ṅa), and three different examples of cchjjhña (ca + cha + ja + jha + ña). Although it is in principle possible to predict what a string of a Tibetan base + n subjoins will look like, it wouldn’t be possible to do the same for Rañjana; in Figure 18, for instance, several of the conjunct monograms have more than one rendering. It is unlikely that any rendering engine should be expected to render these dynamically; rather, they ought to be font-specific special ligatures, or, as mentioned above, encoded as monograms. (It should be pointed out that these are typically not set in type, but hand-drawn.)

The significant point to note is the inclusion in N4322 of breathy consonants that need to be distinguished from the sequence of the consonant followed by a since there exist words with substantially different meanings which only differ in their written form in the use of the these breathy consonants. N4184 dismisses these breathy consonants as conjuncts that have written incorrectly, but this is clearly a misunderstanding. The independent analysis of the writing of Chantyal using Devanagari given by Noonan provides further evidence here. N4322 proposed that where vowels could be written in two distinct forms the pre- composed forms should be excluded, but in encodings of Brahmi derived scripts the practice has been established that both representations are included, as is done in N4184, and this established practice will be followed with the ambiguity resolved in normalisation and collation algorithms.

3.2 The Akkha script for the Magar Language The Magar are the 7th largest linguistic community in Nepal, with 770,116 mother tongue speakers recorded in the 2001 census. But unlike the Newars, the Magar have no written tradition, though today they do recognise the importance of writing and have looked back in history to claim Brahmi as their original writing, to replace the use of Devanagari which has been be used by default. This is described in Anshuman Pandey 2011-05-01 Introducing the Magar Akkha Script. N4036 which contains extracts from a larger document setting out the Magar case for the script they call “Akkha” (which means “script”). See Appendix A2.2 for an extract from this document. Pandey correctly points out that Akkha is Brahmi, but I suggest that it would not be appropriate for the Magar community to use this script in its ancient form – over the past two thousand years both scripts and languages have evolved significantly and the Magar people deserve to benefit from this evolution. The Akkha scripts of the Magar people needs to be further developed as a font for the Himalayish code block, this code block will cover everything that they need.

3.3 The Khambu Rai and Kirat Rai scripts for the Bantawa language This is a relatively large linguistic community of mother tongue speakers of the Bantawa language, 371,056 in the 2001 census. Two scripts are described in: Anshuman Pandey 2011-04-13 Introducing the Khambu Rai Script. N4018 Anshuman Pandey 2011-05-01 Introducing the Kirat Rai Script. N4037 See Appendix A2.3 for examples of the scripts.

2012-10-08 4 N4347 Proposal to Encode Nepal Himalayish Scripts in ISO/IEC 10646 Pat Hall

Pandey points out that Khambu Rai, the first of these, is in one-to-one correspondence with Devanagari, though it does also include three conjuncts , and frequently treated as distinct letters of the Devanagari alphabet within the Nepalese educational system. Khambu Rai must be viewed as an alternative font for Devanagari, though it would be useful to know how long it has been in use and for what purposes. Kirat Rai is quite different, and though Pandey says it probably evolved from Khambu Rai, it is hard to see this. As can be seen from the Appendix it is very close to the Tikamuli script for Sunuwar in what has been chosen to create characters for, the only significant differences being that Tikamuli includes a glottal stop and a trill.

3.4 The Jenticha and Tikamuli scripts for the Sunuwar language The Sunuwar (Sunwar) is a relatively small linguistic community of 26,611 mother tongue speakers, definitely large enough to warrant a distinct style of writing. The writing of Sunuwar is reported in three documents covering two scripts. Anshuman Pandey N3962 2011-01-25 Preliminary Proposal to Encode the Jenticha Script in ISO/IEC 10646. Anshuman Pandey N3963 2011-01-25 Preliminary Proposal to Encode the Tikamuli Script in ISO/IEC 10646. Anshuman Pandey N4028 2011-05-31 Proposal to Encode the Jenticha Script in ISO/IEC 10646. See Appendix A2.4 for examples of the scripts. Pandey reports Sunuwar as an official language of Sikkim in India, though Ethnologue records no Sunuwar community in India. Pandey gives two alternative names, Mukhiya and Koits, but neither of these names appear in Ethnologue, though Ethnologue does record a small language Koi spoken in eastern Nepal. This discrepancy needs further investigation, the community in Sikkim must use some other name or some other closely related language. Jenticha is the older of the two scripts, though created relatively recently in 1942. It is reported as the official script in Sikkim – see note above for the open question here. Tikamuli has clearly been created recently, though no dates or sources are given. The two scripts do have significant differences. Tikamuli is much closer to Devanagari in its choice of consonants, and we must wonder about the influence here. Both include a trill and glottal stop. They both only have a single set of vowels, not distinguishing between the independent and dependent forms, with Jenticha preferring the independent forms while Tikamula prefers the dependent forms. This choice of only one form of the vowels makes us wonder whether the distinction is necessary in any Brahmi script – modern fonts could distinguish what needs to be rendered from context and select the independent or dependent form as appropriate.

3.5 The Khema script for the The Gurung is a large linguistic community with 338,925 mother tongue speakers recorded in the 2001 census. Ethnologue documents two distinct dialects not recognised in the 2001 census. A single document: Anshuman Pandey N4019 2011-04-13 Introducing the Khema Script for Writing Gurung.

2012-10-08 5 N4347 Proposal to Encode Nepal Himalayish Scripts in ISO/IEC 10646 Pat Hall introduces the recently created Khema script, see Appendix A2.5 for examples of the Khema script. A second script is noted, but no details are given. Here we have an independent phonology documented by Noonan and have compared the two within the table in the Appendix. The Khema script has the usual diphthongs not required by the phonology, and more consonants than required, indicating perhaps an undue influence of Devanagari in the Khema script. Taking the phonology as setting the requirements for writing, we see that there is a need for four markers, but otherwise the needs of Gurung are well catered for by the requirement laid down by other scripts and languages.

3.6 The Dham script for Dhimal. The Dhimal linguistic community is relatively small at 17,308 in the 2001 census. A recently created scripts is recorded in: Anshuman Pandey 2011-09-29 Introducing a Script for Writing Dhimal. N4140 See Appendix A2.6 for examples of the script. The total alignment with Devanagari makes this appear to be a proposal for an alternative font for Devanagari, though clearly if such a font existed it could equally well be mapped to the Himalayish code block.

4. Unwritten languages

4.1 Writing Tamang At 1,179,145 mother tongue speakers, Tamang is the largest of the Himalayish language communities in Nepal. With their strong Buddhist traditions, there has been a movement to write Tamang in the , but equally well for administrative purposes writing in Devanagari has been acceptable. The writing of Tamang in Devanagari is described by Noonan, who notes the need for 4 tones.

4.2 Writing Thangmi (Thami) The Thami or Thangmi linguistic community has 18,991 speakers recorded in the 2001 census, and has been written in an extension of Devanagari for the purposes of documenting the language. From Noonan’s phonology we see that it needs fewer vowels, most of the standard consonants, and a glottal stop.

4.3 Writing Chantyal The community is small at 5,912 speakers. Its writing needs are similar to those of Nepal Bhasa including the breathy nasals and other breathy consonants not present in Devanagari. As noted by Noonan, there are distinct words with the breathy consonants and with the consonant followed by the , making it not possible to represent the breathy consonant by a conjunct of the consonant and .

4.4 Writing Sherpa Sherpa with 31,500 mother tongue speakers would fit well within the Himalayish code block, requiring 2 tone markers in addition to most of the standard characters. A scholar from has been developing a script for the Sherpa community, but we do not have access to details of this.

5. Other languages

5.1 Issues regarding the writing of Limbu Limbu with 333,633 mother tongue speakers has a traditional writing system Sirijanga which has been coded in Unicode but there must be some questions about this encoding. It is Brahmi writing system, encoded using a limited form of the subjoined model of Tibetan, without a virama but with a similar character sa-i which could take on the full virama role (Boyd Michailovsky, private communication). The potential need for this has been raised by the recent proposal Anshuman Pandey 2011-01-14 Proposal to Encode the Letters GYAN and TRA for Limbu in the UCS ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N3975 where the characters and would normally be rendered as a conjunct, not currently possible for Limbu as it currently stands.

5.2 Writing of non-Nepalese languages As has been noted in the documents on Nepal Bhasa, the Nepal Lipi scripts have been used for Sanskrit, Maithili, and even Tibetan. A number of the characters shown in the Appendix for Nepal Lipi are clearly there only for this purpose, notably diphthongs and syllabic liquids (vocalics). A group of the consonants (TTA to NNA) are not used in Nepal Lipi, but are needed for other Himalayish languages and should be included in the main part of the code block.

6. The proposed Code Block

A code block of just under 100 characters is needed. Independent Vowels: A, AA, I, II, U, UU, E, O. Dependent forms subject to review.

Diphthongs: AI, AU and dependent forms, subject to review.

Syllabic liquids: VOCALIC R, VOCALIC RR, VOCALIC L, VOCALIC LL and dependent forms included for old documents in Sanskrit etc. Consonants: KA, KHA. GA, GHA, NGA, NGHA, CA, CHA, JA, JHA, NYA/NJA, NYHA/NJHA. TTA, TTHA, DDA, DDHA, NNA, NNHA, TA, THA, DA, DHA, NA, NHA, PA, PHA, BA, BHA, MA, MHA, YA, YHA, RA, RHA, RRA, LA, LHA, VA/WA, VHA, SHA, SSA, SA, HA, glottal stop Various signs: CANDRABINDU, VISARGA, VIRAMA, TRILL, 4 TONES; and for Sanskrit etc: ANUSVARA, AVAGRAHA
