In particular we regret not being able to meet our colleagues from Cambodia and from China to work on matters of mutual interest. We note that a great many items are mature and ready for encoding, and we hope to see two Pre-Draft Amendments sent out from the Singapore meetings. We anticipate that PDAM 2 to ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 will contain the following. Phonetic characters from N2366R Limbu script from N2339 Tai Le script from N2372 (see note below) Yijing monogram, digram, and hexagram symbols from N2363 15 Variation selectors from N2370 Minor editorial revisions to synchronize UTF-8 descriptions between Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 mentioned in N2370 Ireland supports the inclusion of Tai Le script in Amd. 2 as long as the draft of the Amendment is based on N2372. Any further changes can be made during the ballot procedure. We anticipate that PDAM 1 to ISO/IEC 10646-2:2001 will contain the following. Linear B Syllabary from N2378 Linear B Ideograms from N2378 Aegean Numbers from N2378 Ugaritic Cuneiform script from N2338 Shavian script from N2362R Osmanya script from N2361R Cypriot Syllabary from N2378 240 Variation selectors We look forward to the Dublin meeting at which we can continue the work on ISO/IEC 10646 by dealing with the ballot comments on these two PDAMs. 1 2001-10-11.

Problems with Unicode for Languages Unsupported by Computers
Problems with Unicode for Languages Unsupported by Computers Pat Hall, Language Technology Kendra, Patan, Nepal [email protected] Abstract If a language is to be used on the Internet it needs to be written and that writing encoded for the computer. The problems of achieving this for small languages is illustrated with respect to Nepal. Nepal has over 120 languages, with only the national language Nepali having any modern computer support. Nepali is relatively easy, since it is written in Devanagari which is also used for Hindi and other Indian languages, though with some local differences. I focus on the language of the Newar people, a language which has a mature written tradition spanning more than one thousand years, with several different styles of writing, and yet has no encoding of its writing within Unicode. Why has this happened? I explore this question, looking for answers in the view of technology of the people involved, in their different and possibly competing interests, and in the incentives for working on standards. I also explore what should be done about the many other unwritten and uncomputerised languages of Nepal. We are left with serious concerns about the standardisation process, but appreciate that encoding is critically important and we must work with the standardisation process as we find it.. Introduction If we are going to make knowledge written in our language available to everybody in their own languages, those languages must be written and that writing must be encoded in the computer. Those of us privileged to be native speakers of a world language such as English or Spanish may think this is straightforward, but it is not, as will be explained here.

A Glimpse of Kirat-Yakthung (Limbu) Language, Writing, and Literacy
Journal of Global Literacies, Technologies, and Emerging Pedagogies Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2017, pp. 560-593 Delinking, Relinking, and Linking Methodologies: A Glimpse of Kirat-Yakthung (Limbu) Language, Writing, and Literacy Marohang Limbu1 Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures Michigan State University, USA Abstract: Limbus (Limboos), who are also known as “Yakthungs” or “Kirat-Yakthung” or “Kirats,” have/had their own unique culture, language, writing, and Mundhum rhetorics. After “Nun-Paani Sandhi” (Salt-Water Treaty) in 1774 with Khas-Aryas, they (Khas- Aryans) ideologically and Politically banned Limbus from teaching of their language, writing, and Mundhum rhetorics in Yakthung laje (Limbuwan). Because of the Khas-Aryan oPPression, Limbu culture had/has become oral-dominant; Yakthungs used/use oral- Performance-based Mundhum rhetorics to Preserve their culture, language, histories, and Mundhum rhetorics. The main PurPose of this article is to discuss the develoPment of Kirat-Yakthung’s writing and rhetoric and/or rise-fall-rise of Yakthung scriPt, writing, and literacy. The essay demonstrates how Kirat-Yakthung indigenous PeoPles are delinking (denaturalizing or unlearning) Khas-Aryan-, Indian-, and Western linguistic and/or cultural colonization, how they are relinking (revisiting or relandscaPing) their Susuwa Lilim and/or Sawa Yet Hang ePistemologies, and how they are linking their cultural and linguistic identities from local to global level. In this essay, I briefly discuss delinking, relinking, and linking methodology, and how Kirat-Yakthungs are translating it into Practice. This essay demonstrates Khas-Aryan intervention and/or Khas-Aryan paracolonial intervention in the develoPment of Kirat-Yakthung writing and literacy, and Kirat-Yakthungs’ resistance for their existence.

Limbu-English Dictionary of the Mewa Khola dialect with English-Limbu index Boyd Michailovsky Introduction 3 © 2002 Boyd Michailovsky In Memory of Hallvard Kåre Kuløy Introduction The present dictionary is based on materials gathered in the field in 1977-1978 and slightly revised with informants in subsequent years. The original research was carried out in the village of Libang, in the Mewa Khola, where, on the recommendation of our friend Philippe Sagant, Martine Mazaudon and I worked during the monsoon of 1977. Later that same year, however, Libang was included in the restricted northern border area, and I moved to Tembe, in the neighboring Maiwa Khola valley. (I was able to return to Libang in 1999.) Although the Maiwa and Mewa valleys are traditionally considered as a single region by Limbus, the dialect of Tembe differs slightly from that of Libang, agreeing in some respects with the dialect of Phedap over the ridge to the south. The present work is based on both varieties, in particular on that of Libang, with occasional notes on dialect differences.

philological encounters 6 (2021) 43–69 brill.com/phen The Limbu Script and the Production of Religious Books in Nepal Martin Gaenszle | ORCID: 0000-0002-0782-1413 Institut für Südasien-, Tibet- und Buddhismuskunde, Universität Wien, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract With the rise of ethnic politics in Nepal, the Limbu (or: Yakthumba) have made increas- ing use of the Limbu script, also known as Srijanga or Kiranti. Whereas in the past this script was suppressed by the state and known only to a minority, since the return of democracy to Nepal in the 1990s a new literature using this script has come into being. Here, religious books play a prominent role. This essay deals with the emerging impor- tance of the script as a marker of ethnicity since its first general propagation by Iman Singh Chemjong and Phalgunanda Lingden in the early twentieth century. It focuses on the early production of printed books, in particular books published by followers of the Satyahangma movement, which promotes reforms of Kiranti religion and society. Keywords oral tradition – writing systems – invention of scripts – print history – religious reform – Nepal … But the specific pre-eminence of the written word over images is stoutly maintained. As one Tibetan scholar stated it, “One letter formed is of greater value than a likeness of Buddha formed, for the letter aids knowledge.” This statement, and the attitudes and behav- ior pattern of which it is the expression, suggests that, among the Tibetans, grapholatry is more real than idolatry.

A Desciptive Grammar of Chhatthare Limbu
A DESCIPTIVE GRAMMAR OF CHHATTHARE LIMBU A Dissertation Report Submitted to Social Inclusion Research Fund/SNV Nepal Sanepa, Lalitpur By Govinda Bahadur Tumbahang Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu 2007 iv AKNOWLEDGEMENTS My gratitude goes first and foremost to my father late Purun Dhoj Tumbahang, who roused an unflinching interest in my mind to contribute something to Chhatthare Limbu at my early stage of life. This interest inspired me to write M. A. thesis on Noun Phrase Structures in Limbu in Chhatthare Limbu under the supervision of Prof. Dr.Y.P. Yadava, who was then reader at the Tribhuvan University. More than a decade and a half after my completion of M.A., I was again inspired to pursue Ph. D. course on ‘A Descriptive Grammar of Chhathare Limbu’ My deepest debt of gratitude is to my supervisor Prof. Dr. Madhav Prasad Pokharel, who made me successful to complete the dissertation giving me the whole vision of language I needed and sensible and sane framework around which my thoughts have been organized. I owe everything to him for his guidance, supervision, challenging criticism, verbally at our meetings which used to stretch for hours and by e-mail while I was outside of the valley. Similarly, I owe much to Prof. Dr. David E. Watters for his untiring effort to make comments on my writing and suggestion for the improvement of the dissertation. My thanks are due to Prof. Dr. Novel Kishore Rai for his continuous inspiration and encouragement while I felt disappointed with my heavy work. In my fieldwork, Tek Chandra Wanem of Dhungge Sanghu, Sita Mademma of Phedap, Dilendra Subba of Panthar and Bharat Subba, Bhairab Angla, Kuber Singh Limbu, Manindra Kumar Sangwa, Bisnu Kumar Limbu and Rina Subba of Chhathar area were my informants.
