earlier 1992 and 1998 English editions and the 2014 French edition of our Dzongkha language textbook. The grammar lessons in our Dzongkha language textbook have over the years appealed to an international read- ership eager to acquire a working command of Dzongkha, and this new textbook has been augmented with appendices in order better to serve our Bhutanese readership as well. Appendices Four through Eight incorporate the Guide to Roman Dzongkha, which explains the romanisation known as Roman Dzongkha and introduces the Bhutanese system of writing known as Phonological Dzongkha that was developed for the Dzongkha Develop- ment Commission of the Royal Government of Bhutan in 1994. Our thanks go to Dr. T. Mark Ellison at Australian National University in Canberra for rescuing the text of the Guide and the 1998 grammar, extricating the texts from obsolete software and converting their legacy fonts. We both extend a special thanks to Naoki 直樹 Peter for the exquisite and assiduous type- setting of this book and to Yeshy Tempa Sotrug 蝺་鍺ས་བ鮟ན་པ་魼ག་ཕྲུག། of Jurasüdfuss for the double rDo-rje that adorns this book. We also cordially thank Ben འཇམ་དཔལ་རྡོ་རྗེ་ Christian for the use of his images of Mañjuśrī. Since the first half of the book serves an international audience, whereas the second half of the book caters more to Bhutanese readers, it has proved useful for the convenience of our readers to repeat some of the informa- tion contained in Chapter 3 of the language textbook again in Dzongkha and in English in Appendices Four and Six respectively. 1 The Dzongkha language zongkha is the national language of the Kingdom of Bhutan, and D Dzongkha is the native language of most of western Bhutan. Yet at least nineteen different languages are spoken in the kingdom. The poly- glot country of Bhutan is the size of multilingual Switzerland. Unlike the Swiss Confederation, however, in Bhutan there is no one absolute ma- jority language. Most of the languages of Bhutan are members of the Trans-Himalayan family, which happens to be the second most populous language family on our planet in terms of numbers of speakers (van Driem 2014). The sole exception is Nepali, spoken in parts of southern Bhutan, which is a member of the Indo-European language family, the world’s most populous language family.

  • A Study on Collation of Languages from Developing Asia
    A Study on Collation of Languages from Developing Asia Sarmad Hussain Nadir Durrani Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences www.nu.edu.pk www.idrc.ca Published by Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences Lahore, Pakistan Copyrights © International Development Research Center, Canada Printed by Walayatsons, Pakistan ISBN: 978-969-8961-03-9 This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada, administered through the Centre for Research in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP), National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES), Pakistan. ii Preface Defining collation, or what is normally termed as alphabetical order or less frequently as lexicographic order, is one of the first few requirements for enabling computing in any language, second only to encoding, keyboard and fonts. It is because of this critical dependence of computing on collation that its definition is included within the locale of a language. Collation of all written languages are defined in their dictionaries, developed over centuries, and are thus very representative of cultural tradition. However, though it is well understood in these cultures, it is not always thoroughly documented or well understood in the context of existing character encodings, especially the Unicode. Collation is a complex phenomenon, dependent on three factors: script, language and encoding. These factors interact in a complicated fashion to uniquely define the collation sequence for each language. This volume aims to address the complex algorithms needed for sorting out the words in sequence for a subset of the languages.

  • Les Principes De Construction Du Nombre Dans Les Langues Tibeto-Birmanes
    à paraître dans J. François, éd., La Pluralité, Mémoires de la Société de Linguistique de Paris, 2002 LES PRINCIPES DE CONSTRUCTION DU NOMBRE DANS LES LANGUES TIBETO-BIRMANES Martine Mazaudon Lacito, C. N. R. S. RESUME La grande majorité des quelques 300 langues de la famille tibéto-birmane ont des systèmes de numération décimaux, comme leur grandes voisines, le chinois et les langues indo-aryennes de l'Inde. Après une enquête poussée, on peut découvrir dans certaines de ces langues d'autres principes d'organisation des nombres. Si certaines de ces formations sont isolées, comme dans les cas de réfection de systèmes en voie de disparition, d'autres sont régulières et révèlent des systèmes plus anciens où les groupements par 4, 5 ou 12 étaient plus courants. Le dzongkha, langue nationale du Bhoutan, préservé par son isolement géographique et politique, a conservé l'un des systèmes vigésimaux les plus complets qui soient, avec des noms simples pour les puissances de la base jusqu'à 160 000. Certains principes rares de construction des nombres comme l'utilisation de fractions à l'intérieur d'un nombre complexe, ou l'expression du nombre par protraction, sont largement attestés en tibéto-birman. Des enquêtes de terrain poussées sont urgentes pour recueillir ces systèmes qui disparaissent rapidemment sous les efforts conjoints des éducateurs occidentaux, et des locuteurs eux- mêmes, tous deux persuadés que ces systèmes "archaïques" sont un frein sur la voie du progrès. ABSTRACT The vast majority of the 300 or so modern TB languages have decimal numeral systems in accordance with most of the modern world, and more specifically in accordance with their two large influential neigbours, Chinese and the Indo-Aryan languages of India.

Jure Dimec Študentka: Anja Jerše Ljubljana, december 2009 Izvleček: V seminarski nalogi je predstavljena primerjava med dvema spletnima enciklopedijama: Wikipedijo ter Encyclopædijo Britannico. Najprej je primerjava izvedena opisno – s primerjanjem njunih nemerljivih lastnosti, nato pa s pomočjo štetja tematik (ki jih predstavljajo hiperpovezave). Kot osnova sta bila izbrana dva nivoja spletnih strani tematike Mughal dynasty. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata obe enciklopediji pozitivne in negativne lastnosti. Wikipedija vsebuje veliko več hiperpovezav, ki pa so uporabljene precej nedosledno. Veliko pojmov je napačno zapisanih, povezave so nedelujoče ipd. Encyclopædija Britannica vsebuje hiperpovezave, ki so v veliki meri povezane z izbrano tematiko ter se od nje pretirano ne oddaljujejo. Povezave so ustvarjene dosledno, so delujoče ter pravilno zapisane, tematiko predstavi z vseh vidikov, Wikipedija pa pretirava s hiperpovezavami, ki bralca prehitro odvrnejo od osnovne tematike. Ključne besede: Wikipedia, Encyclopædia Britannica, hiperpovezave 2 KAZALO 1.
