BOD_X Input of Tibetan texts is done thru Wylie transliteration with a spell checker and the creation of a custom database of complex mantra syllables. BOD_X is based on the Wylie transliteration method (with some extensions) and displays and prints the Tibetan text using BOD_GPL Freeware True Type Font (based on Robillard L-Tibetan code). Tibetan texts written in a data base can be easily transformed from one form to another (various transliterations, Tibetan font, phonetic) and become bricks in the construction of a vast knowledge base. xoomer.virgilio.it /vfassio   (841 words)

Transliteration Schemes Description: The Tibetan and Himalayan Digital Library (THDL)'s Extended Wylie Transliteration Scheme (EWTS) is a collaborative effort to extend the basic transliteration scheme, originally proposed in the 1950s by Turrell Wylie ("A Standard System of Tibetan Transcription," Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, vol. Home > Collections > Language and Linguistics > Tibetan Transliteration > Extended Wylie Transliteration Scheme The scheme provides not only transliteration equivalents but also methods for handling special situations, such as Tibetan transliteration of Sanskrit, how to insert other languages within Tibetan transliteration, and the like. www.thdl.org /collections/langling/ewts/ewts.php   (191 words)

Wylie transliteration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Wylie transliteration scheme is a method for transliterating the Tibetan script using the keys on a typical English language typewriter. Wylie transliteration was designed to precisely transcribe written Tibetan script, hence its acceptance in academic and historical studies.

Manual.doc EWTS extends the familiar Wylie transliteration scheme to cover punctuation, transliteration of foreign languages (such as Sanskrit and Chinese) using non-standard Tibetan consonant stacks, and mixed Tibetan/non-Tibetan text. Capitalize root letters in interlineal Wylie: Never Particularly for beginners, it is useful to capitalize Tibetan root letters in transliterations. Your Wylie text will be broken into interlineal matrices with lines ending anywhere there is a paragraph break (produced with the Enter key) in your text, and also anywhere you have a line-terminating punctuation character, such as a shad (“stroke,” the Tibetan punctuation symbol roughly similar in function to a period in Western punctuation). cvs.sourceforge.net /viewcvs.py/*checkout*/thdltools/WylieWord/Manual.doc   (6136 words)

Modes of Access The most significant difference between these modes of access will be the way in which the data is presented--whether it is displayed in Tibetan script, modified Wylie transliteration, or in an easy-to-pronounce phonetic renderings. It will display all headers, labels and instruction in English, while data will be a mixture of Tibetan script, Wylie transliteration, and English. This mode of access is intended for Tibetans who cannot read English or Wylie transliteration. antioch.rice.edu /digproj/bonpo/modes.html   (284 words)

readme.txt Tise intercepts user input and converts Wylie syllables into proper codes for the Tibetan text to be displayed using LGM truetype font. By default it starts in wylie mode for Tibetan typing, so upon starting the program one is able immediately to type Tibetan.

SourceForge.net CVS Repository - markup - cvs: thdltools/WylieWord/thdl_rationale.html THDL Extended Wylie provides simple ASCII correspondences for all Tibetan characters, including ways to represent Sanskrit stacks as well as punctuation and many special characters. Until Unicode is a viable solution for Tibetan computing, Extended Wylie is the best standard, logical, and platform- independent solution for Tibetan data storage. Rather, we hope it will become the Wylie keyboard, one that will become familiar to everyone in Tibetan computing. cvs.sourceforge.net /viewcvs.py/thdltools/WylieWord/thdl_rationale.html?rev=1.3&view=auto   (569 words)

Wylie The Wylie keyboard program allows you the option of inputting Tibetan data into Nitartha-Sambhota documents using the Wylie transliteration system, the most universal of such systems in use today. Nitartha-Sambhota now features an optional keyboard using Wylie input, a new program to convert a variety of Tibetan file formats and a spell checker for transliteration files. The converter works with a number of the leading file formats for Tibetan language encodings, including Asian Classics Input Program transliteration files, Wylie transliteration files, and rich text files using Robillard LTibetan font format. www.nitartha.org /wylieandconverter.html   (356 words)

Tsampa.org: Tsampa Keyboard Font The general input principle is simple: typing straight Wylie outputs the corresponding Tibetan script. Another modification to Wylie is that the built-in a chung vowel is not inputted, since the a key is reserved for the actual a chung glyph. Since there are eleven root letters in Wylie that use more than one letter (kha, nga, cha, nya, tha, pha, tsa, tsha, dza, zha, sha) they have to be mapped to other keys. tsampa.org /tibetan/software/tsamkey   (472 words)

NOTE ON TRANSLITERATION The transliteration conforms to the system for the transliteration of Tibetan syllables which avoids diacritical marks and which has been widely used internationally in Tibetan studies since the late 1950s, especially in UK and North America (in continental Europe, systems using diacritical marks remain common). However, the loose usage of the term, "Wylie", to refer to the general system of transliteration, can cause confusion, and it is necessary to clarify that we do not here follow the single significant suggestion which Wylie proposed in his article. Since our manuscripts include some constructions which are not used in everyday Tibetan written language (and not commented on by Nebesky-Wojkowitz, Wylie or Snellgrove), it is also necessary to include a word on how we transliterate more complex constructions. ngb.csac.anthropology.ac.uk /csac/NGB/Doc/NoteTransliteration.xml   (1652 words)

Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Therefore, Wylie’s system has been slightly modified to render the transliteration table for the thirty Tibetan letters as follows: The advantage of Wylie’s transliteration is that letter combinations instead of diacritics are used for distinction. A weak point, however, lies in the fact that the twenty-third ('a) and the thirtieth letter of the alphabet (a) are not expressed by what they actually are in the logic of Tibetan writing, i.e. ead.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de /en/kataloge/tibetan.html   (590 words)

Database Help: Wylie Transliteration of Tibetan Wylie is the name of a system for representing Tibetan letters using the character set of a standard English-language typewriter. With the growing popularity of personal computers several font encoding schemes have arisen that permit the display of native Tibetan script, but there is no single standard and Professor Wylie's system remains, with some modifications, the universal standard for representing Tibetan text in Roman letters.
