Mon Nga and troubles arising

In your description of MON NGA, you said that certain Mons prefer to use the MON NGA. Didn't you mean that they preferred to use the Burmese NGA?

Do you expect Mon Pali to be encoded with Burmese NGA or with MON NGA? Our resident Mon seems to have been using MON NGA for kinzi in Pali, which I suppose we should expect from him. At present I'm addressing the issue by manually including the form with MON NGA where appropriate. RichardW57 (talk) 22:16, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

It is a little misunderstanding. As I learned from many references, င and ၚ are both used at the same time in Mon language. င is actually most used on -င် because it does not need to have a "tail" to disambiguate. So, -ၚ် is not quite incorrect but it is not prefered. (I ever asked Mon Wikipedia to use ၚ instead of င, but they only wish to replace -ၚ် with -င်.) ၚ is used as initial or medial (subjoined) that never spells with င. However, SEALang uses ၚ every position because they might not know this detail. What we need to do is to make -င် main entries instead of -ၚ်. --Octahedron80 (talk) 00:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm going to have to rephrase that paragraph, because I can't see which nga you're talking about. After examining the backing store, I read that paragraph as:

"It is a little misunderstanding. As I learned from many references, င and ၚ are both used at the same time in Mon language. င is actually most used on -င် <NGA, ASAT> because it does not need to have a "tail" to disambiguate. So, -ၚ် <MON NGA, ASAT> is not quite incorrect but it is not prefered. [The fonts RichardW57 uses render the two sequences identically.] (I ever asked Mon Wikipedia to use ၚ instead of င, but they only wish to replace -ၚ် <MON NGA, ASAT> with -င် <NGA, ASAT>.) ၚ is used as initial or medial (subjoined) that never spells with င. However, SEALang uses ၚ every position because they might not know this detail. What we need to do is to make -င် <NGA, ASAT> main entries instead of -ၚ် <MON NGA, ASAT>." --RichardW57 (talk) 11:01, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

You should have a right font to see these shapes differently. Windows 10 that has default Myanmar Text so -ၚ် <MON NGA, ASAT> is well seen. For other system, it may need to use Noto Sans Myanmar. If you use Padauk, it hides the tail. --Octahedron80 (talk) 13:31, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

I remember discussions of how to encode the Mon nga. One suggestion, which I favoured, was to encode the tail, so stand-alone Mon nga would have been encoded as something <NGA, *TAIL OF NGA>. It seems that that would have been the right decision. None of the other solutions envisaged using a mixture of the already encoded character NGA and the new character in Mon. As to <MON NGA, ASAT>, do you have pre-Unicode examples of nga with asat and tails? The examples of Mon from Thailand in [1] show the lack of a tail below asat. Incidentally, there's a bit of Thai Mon Pali on p9. <SA, VIRAMA, SA> for <GREAT SA> looks like needing a new flag for inflection - both non feminine genitive/dative singulars and second person singular imperative middles. (The future tense is always treated as unpredictable.) It looks to me that the tail below in <MON NGA, ASAT> is at most optional; I'm not sure it isn't just wrong. Maybe I'll knock up a version of Padauk (would Paduak be a legal name ?:-) with glyphs derived from MON NGA in red. --RichardW57 (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

To document every word, it seems to me that I need inflection tables for both words in <NGA, ASAT> and words in <MON NGA, ASAT> when there is a possible Mon Pali context for the word. Or can we induce the search engine to treat NGA as a match for MON NGA. It doesn't at present. At least, I can't get Wiktionary searches for သၚ်္ဃ with MON NGA to find the alternatve form သင်္ဃ with U+1004 NGA. --RichardW57 (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Anyways, Mon Pali uses င as 咽頭べさ (Intubesa) states it. I never see real Mon Pali text but it should be similar to Burmese Pali, just different at ၛ and some vowels.

'States' as opposed to 'does'! He has Pali words with kinzi in his 'picture dictionary', and they all use U+105A MON NGA: အၚ်္ဂုလဳ, အၚ်္ဂဇာတံ, ဇၚ်္ဃာ, အၚ်္ဂဇာတံ, သိၚ်္ဃာဏိကာ, သိၚ်္ဂိဝေရံ and ဟိၚ်္ဂု. So, @咽頭べさ, are they all encoded incorrectly? Or is the Mon Pali consonant chart wrong? --RichardW57 (talk) 11:01, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Both common nga and Mon nga can make kinzi form. Ask him if he knows about this technical problem. Or you may ask some Unicode members which proper way to do. --Octahedron80 (talk) 13:39, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

I found this document about Mon nga that may help. (I may be wrong or not? It does not mention about asat though.) [2] --Octahedron80 (talk) 14:12, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Martin wrote there, "Thus a Mon kinzi is encoded using U+105A U+103A U+1039". Perhaps because he's in the pay of missionaries, he tends to concentrate on the vernacular and seems to forget Pali. It's a shame we have no answer on the matter from @咽頭べさ. --RichardW57 (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Another issue, do not call င as "Burmese" nga because it is rude for them. (Mon lost their kingdom because of Burmese.) I call it common nga instead. --Octahedron80 (talk) 00:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello@RichardW57,Have you read about the true Mon history of the Mon people? (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

	Mon Country	Mon State
Mon national flag or Mon people flag	Area covering Old Mon Country known in history as Hongsgwaddy or Rehmanaya, conquered by the Burmese in 1757.	Mon State created by Ne Win Government in 1974, comprising Moulmein and Thatan districts.

We Mon people are not Burma Country but Mon Country. The Burmans do not have their own alphabet to this day, the alphabet used by the Burmans is the alphabet that the Burmans attacked and looted from the Mon people. We the Mon people call the Burmans human animals, because this is because the Burmans call the Mon people, တလိုင်းTa Laing and destroy Mon literature and Mon history. The name Ta Laing is not a Mon name but a conspiracy by the Burmese king Aung Zeya. The name Ta Laing has nothing to do with the Mon people and is a hate word coined by Burmese kings. The Mon people are called Thai Raman by most Thais. Those who have never been to Burma also know the Mon people as Raman or Mon Khmer. Ta Laing is the name of a Shan tribe and has nothing to do with the Mon people, most Burmans fabricate hate speech to persecute ethnic minorities if you want to read authentic Mon history, please read this link, I will continue to write about this history as much as, I can every day thanks.--Music writer Dr.Intobesa of Japanese idol NMB48 and BNK48. (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

@RichardW57 By the way, I compared with some languages. For example, Persian always uses KEHEH (ک) and FARSI YEH (ی) for every appearance of them, insteadof COMMON KAF (ك) and COMMON YEH (ي). Malay (and its siblings) always uses KEHEH (ک) and KEHEH WITH DOT ABOVE (ݢ). Those characters will specially change their forms for their languages. Thus, MON NGA (ၚ) should be always used to write Mon in every position by intention, neither it has tail or not (it's font's issue), instead of COMMON NGA (င). --Octahedron80 (talk) 03:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

ว่ากันว่า

Hi, do you have an opinion as to whether ว่ากันว่า or ว่ากัน deserve an entry meaning "they say"? It doesn't look like sum-of-parts to me. It's in relation to the deletion discussion of they say. General Vicinity (talk) 23:21, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

(เขา)ว่ากันว่า... is clearly SOP: เขา(they) / ว่า(say) / กัน(altogether) / ว่า(that). You may notice that Thai pronoun as the subject is often omitted in speaking. --Octahedron80 (talk) 08:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

ၵျွႃး rhyme

Hi User:Octahedron80: I was wondering if you could help me look into Module:shn-pron and whether there's an issue recognising the (ွႃ) vowel rhyme: it is generating a "Lua error in Module:shn-pron at line 92: Data for vowel (ွႃ) is missing." message. Thank you! -Hintha (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I had never seen that case before. It will be fixed soon. --Octahedron80 (talk) 04:42, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I checked Sealang and it reads /kjaa4/ so it should be respelled as ၵျႃး instead. --Octahedron80 (talk) 04:47, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Hintha, ၵျွႃး is completely misspelled, ၵျွႃး is written according to the pronunciation of the Burmese language, ၵျွႃး is not in Shan literature at all, I speak Shan language, I understand Shan literature at the first level, check out the ၵျွႃး Facebook discussion at this link, if you want to know about ၵျွႃး , you can ask User Saimawnkham who is proficient in Shan literature, thanks.--Music writer Dr.Intobesa of Japanese idol NMB48 and BNK48.

Did you check the reference already? It might be the special case of spelling as it directly borrowed from Burmese. (Every language has exceptions, I think.) --Octahedron80 (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any clear evidence, I would like to say that this issue needs to be discussed with Shan mother literature experts, thanks. Music writer Dr.Intobesa of Japanese idol NMB48 and BNK48. (talk) 17:52, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

I've added a non-durable semi-quotation to protect against grammar Nazis. The spelling looks very like a fact. I've also replaced the invocation of the undocumented template {{shn-verb}} by {{head}} as the template/module lacks a transliteration override. The transliteration should be reviewed. --RichardW57 (talk) 23:46, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/Namdamon

—Fish bowl (talk) 11:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

What was that? By the way, Tai Yuan (Northern Thai) is never written in Roman. Don't believe him. --Octahedron80 (talk) 12:44, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

It will appear in Roman script in the transliteration of inscriptions. If that is the system that @Namdamon has in mind, it merits consideration, though any words should also appear in either the native (script code Lana) or the imperial (script code Thai) script as their main lemma. It would help to have some documentation for the scheme, because it uses ill-documented, perhaps even idiosyncratic, extensions of IAST. I am willing to try to help out. --RichardW57 (talk) 13:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Unicode names 017

Hi. We have images for block 017, but not the names. Do you think you could create Module:Unicode data/names/017? Or is that not needed because the names are generic?

Thanks, kwami (talk) 09:14, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

You do not need "names" for 017. It runs automatically by main module Module:Unicode data. It already iterates on numbers from TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-17000 to 17FFF. You may have to make "images" only. --Octahedron80 (talk) 09:20, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! kwami (talk) 09:51, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Is the same true for Module:Unicode data/names/02F? I would think that could be automated too. kwami (talk) 03:50, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Have you see Module:Unicode data lines # 65-107 ? Any codepoints that already define in the same range will be unused. --Octahedron80 (talk) 05:32, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Should those codepoints be deleted then? kwami (talk) 13:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

I noted in the modules, hope some admin see them. --Octahedron80 (talk) 16:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

I made a list of automated ranges at Unicode_data/documentation, so that others won't be confused as I was.

If you approve, I'll make a deletion request for Module:Unicode data/names/017, 018 and 02F. (We haven't discussed 018 yet.)

Hi. I see you've been adding {-}{emojibox} to the top of a lot of articles. The {-} forces a page of blank space before the text begins, and so needs to be deleted.

(It is surely different from China usage.) And we still use "แบะแซ" todays. I am sure it is used all over the country as well as Thai word is here. --Octahedron80 (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y9-_wQ1428 at 2:56. He is the 3rd generation making แบะแซ, that assumes it have been exist >100 years. --Octahedron80 (talk) 18:04, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Do you know which city this Twitter user and the person featured in the video are from? We should not be making assumptions that words exist across the country. I also only see/hear 麥生, not 麥生糖. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 18:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Teochew (or Chinese) people spread throughout Thailand. Can we pinpoint which one is? Who adds these towns at first? It should be only one per dialect (just Thailand-MN-T) because they are not different between cities. Thailand 's Chinese communities don't live so far away like China. (The whole Thailand is large as just one Chinese province.) If you want exact point, I could say Bangkok because it's the biggest community. Or it must be listed recklessly tens of them. 麥生糖 is in Twitter's thread already said to be grammarful, that Thai word is partly borrowed. 麥生 also mean malt, but Thai didn't call the malt แบะแซ. (We call มอลต์ either.) So two Teochew words 麥生 and 麥生糖 happen. Octahedron80 (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

The data mainly comes from what is recorded in 泰国华人社区的汉语方言, which has data from three subdialects of Thailand Teochew. It unfortunately doesn't have an entry for 麥芽糖 so I can't confirm from there. I don't think we should just blindly put data in all Thailand dialect points because we assume that there are no differences between cities. Even within one Chinese province, there's plenty of differences. Are there people in Bangkok (or another city/town) that you can confirm these two words with? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 14:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

I am out. Do what you want. It took years someone would say about it. Octahedron80 (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry for being particular. I've left Bangkok in there. In the future, I guess it would be fine if you would put data under 'Thailand-MN-T' unless we have more data (like from 泰国华人社区的汉语方言). — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 15:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Urak Lawoi' transliteration module

Hi, I'm currently writing a transliteration module for the Urak Lawoi' language according to this publication. Given your knowledge in this field, I wonder if you're able to work on this module as well? Thank you! — ^{oi yeah nah mate} amazingJUSSO ... [ɡəˈdæɪ̯]! 00:21, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Urak Lawoi' language is officially announced to be written in Thai script. The issue is that the difficulty of transliteration/pronunciation will be the same level as Thai language; it might have some tokenizing problem. And thanks god they have no tone. --Octahedron80 (talk) 02:02, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh interesting, I know the language uses the Thai script, but wasn't aware that it's going to be official. I wonder, do you know if there is guideline for transliteration? It'll be good for my knowledge. For the tokenisation, I have worked on a solution similar to Module:lo-translit. As far as I know, it doesn't use the entire Thai alphabet. — ^{oi yeah nah mate} amazingJUSSO ... [ɡəˈdæɪ̯]! 12:45, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Ideographic description characters images

Greetings, I have noticed you're the one who generated the images for Appendix:Unicode/Ideographic_Description_Characters. Unicode has expanded the list to include U+2FFC, U+2FFD, U+2FFE, U+2FFF, and U+31EF (Details on https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-15.1/U151-2FF0.pdf and https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-15.1/U151-31C0.pdf). Will you also generate the images for those characters as well? If not, how did you generate the images (like font, method, etc)? Thank you. Ekirahardian (talk) 12:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I didn't commonly make character images. It's so much work. The IDS's are just geometric shapes. And I already lost source files. --Octahedron80 (talk) 14:36, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Ah, that's unfortunate, thanks anyway. Ekirahardian (talk) 15:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Module:lo-pron and Module:lo-translit

Hi,

Thank you for your effort on Lao. Have you seen a Lao dictionary, which uses a transliteration system, which is very similar to Paiboon? It has similar symbols and what's more important, it has tone marks.

If you're interested, I can get the title and make some screenshots. It's in our city library. It's expensive to buy, though, although it's rather small, it's the same format as the one used by Template:R:th:BPBecker. (Similar dictionaries exist for Burmese and, if I'm not mistaken for Khmer).

The pronunciation of ꪻ in Tai Dam

Hi, I see that you transcribe ꪻ in narrow transcription as [aɰ], but from what I know Tai Dam does not have /ɰ/ in its phonology, or does it have /aɰ/. It does have have /əw/ though, and that’s what ꪻ represents in Tai Dam according to what I have read. But perhaps my sources are wrong? Can you clarify why you use /aɰ/ instead of /əw/ for ꪻ? Thank you. Monarchatto (talk) 04:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@Monarchatto I used to use /əw/ either from the Unicode document. But a true linguist (Alifshinobi) had described to me at th:คุยกับผู้ใช้:Octahedron80/กรุ_4#blt-pron that /əw/ might not correct and then I changed into /aɰ/ instead. -Octahedron80 (talk) 04:26, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

P.S. Proto-Tai /*aɰ/ is the common vowel in Tai languages.

I see. But when I translate it (I don’t speak Thai), it seems like Alifshinobi never said it was /aɰ/, but they did say /aɯ/, /ai/, /ɤ/ were used by the Thai dialects, and only /aɯ/ was used in the Lao and Vietnam dialects. Maybe it wasn’t able to translate well or I missed something. Monarchatto (talk) 00:04, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

In fact, I feel like I definitely hear /aɯ/ in songs like this one from 0:50 - 058 (in words like ꪻꪊ,¹ ꪻꪠ, ꪻꪬ꫁)

1. Weirdly, it uses low form cho in the video (for example: ꪻꪌ - chaw) and transcribes it as “ch”, but at the same time for the high form of it it uses the high form of cho (for example: ꪋ꪿ꪺ - chua) instead of ꪍ. So because of that, and also because Tai Dam has no / t͡ɕʰ/ in its inventory, that it must be an error and was meant to be <ꪻꪊ> instead. If I’m wrong about this, please correct me. Thank you

Monarchatto (talk) 12:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

All letters in Tai Viet script is based on Tai Dam (Black Tai). Some letters (sounds) are used to express loanwords and names (esp. Vietnamese, Chinese). That means /t͡ɕʰ/ is allowed in Tai Dam. However, <ꪻꪌ> might be the misspelling of <ꪻꪊ> in the video. Instead, the current Tai Viet script cannot be fully used to write Tai Dón (White Tai); some letters are still missing. Tai Dón uses different alphabet (letter set) against Tai Dam. They are in the proposing process. --Octahedron80 (talk) 00:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see. That’s interesting. Good to know, thank you. Still though, what are your thoughts on how ꪻ is pronounced in the video? Do you think it’s /aɯ/ or /aɰ/? Monarchatto (talk) 04:41, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

/aɯ/ vs /aɰ/ is the same. It feels like /ai/ vs /aj/ and /au-ao/ vs /aw/. The second case should be used because it ends the syllable (final, no more consonant). --Octahedron80 (talk) 04:46, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Romaji entries

Why are you changing romaji entries of syllables without any consensus whatsoever? Chuterix (talk) 19:57, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I just replace with template which it is made for. And no one seems to revert in the moment. By the way, I just learn Japanese that the extend katakanas and romajis do not appear to have matching hiraganas because they are made for foreign words. (No usage means not exist) See also w:Hepburn romanization. If each hiragana in question has some reference, we can add it back. Octahedron80 (talk) 23:28, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Pwo dictionary?

Hi, I've just come accross A Pwo-Burmese-English dictionary, and I can't figure out which Pwo lect it is. It looks like Northern Pwo, and features things like wá ("husband") but s/θwí ("blood"), yet it's written fully in the Burmese script. Do you know anything about it perhaps? Should we start documenting Northern Pwo in Burmese script? The dictionary itself is seemingly also published in Thailand, which adds to the confusion... Thadh (talk) 13:56, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Thadh I am making Northern Pwo in Thai script at thwikt. I could compare that blue book with Omkoi. Same etyma should have same vowels and tones (or very close to, at least) if they are same Northern Pwo. There are 4 tones in open syllables, middle, low, falling, and high. Use Kato's tones, they can be noted by middle dot, no dot, under dot, and double dots, respectively. There are 2 tones in (air-)checked syllable (ˀ), falling (but pratically became high) and low.

I compared some words. I assumed the book read similar to Omkoi:

• Omkoi แม๊ (wife) (Thai sound: แม้) but the book says မာ့ (ม้า) (Thai sound: ม่า).
• Omkoi มี้ (rice) (Thai sound: มี่) but the book says မေဝ် (เม่ว) (Thai sound: เหฺม่ว).
• Omkoi แว (bamboo) but the book says ဝး (ว๊ะ) (Thai sound: วะ).
• Omkoi เอ้ง (ginger) but the book says အိင် (อิ่ง).
• Omkoi แง̱ (evening) but the book says ဟှး (ง๊̱ะ ?). (ง with macron below, ง̱, stands for consonant /ɰ/)

So different, I conclude that the book is not Northern Pwo. Instead, I think it should be Eastern Pwo, judged by how it writes using Mon alphabet.

Todays where a book was printed is not important. My Dai Lue dictionary was printed in China but its publisher located in Chiang Mai. --Octahedron80 (talk) 19:27, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

I compared the tones and vowels with Hpa-an Pwo by Kato, and it's not Eastern Pwo, at least not a usual dialect. It might also be a Southern Pwo lect, I'll take a look tomorrow if the tones match, but I don't think so... Thadh (talk) 20:01, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I've checked more words, and it's just Hpa-an Pwo it seems... Somehow the tone for "husband" was the other way around than Kato has documented. I'm in the process of making User:Thadh/Pwo with a small comparative vocab of the various lects, so I know what we're working on. Feel free to add words to it if you're interested.

Sanskrit noun in etymology

Hi. I just corrected the Sanskrit noun given in the etymology sections here: สังเคราะห์ and สงเคราะห์. In Monier Williams' Sanskrit dictionary there is no entry for *saṅgraha given that the consonantal cluster -ṃg(r)- in Sanskrit is mostly converted to -ṅg- in Pāli. So if you happen to find evidence for *saṅgraha, feel free to readjust it. Bogorm converſation 08:48, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

@Bogorm Lots of सङ्ग्रह in [3] please check that. (It's only my source.) My little knowledge only knows that nasal clusters in Sanskrit are converted into anusvāra (ṃ) in Hindi. Perhaps संग्रह is a special case. --Octahedron80 (talk) 08:55, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Also सङ्ग्रह has lots of usage out there. --Octahedron80 (talk) 09:19, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

सङ्ग्रह appears in multiple Nepalese results at a first glance, so I am doubtful as to whether it can be attested in Sanskrit results. Perhaps it is worth mentioning it as a Nepalese cognate. Pinging more knowledgeable contributors of Sanskrit who could determine if सङ्ग्रह is an admissible Sanskrit spelling (albeit absent from Monier Williams' dictionary) or संग्रह is the only one: @Syzarn @AryamanA @Caoimhin ceallach. Bogorm converſation 19:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

संग्रह (saṃgraha) is indeed the correct spelling of the word in Sanskrit. The prefix सम्- (sam-) becomes सं- (saṃ-) before consonants. See Otto Böhtlingk, Richard Schmidt (1879-1928) “संग्रह”, in Walter Slaje, Jürgen Hanneder, Paul Molitor, Jörg Ritter, editors, Nachtragswörterbuch des Sanskrit (in German), Halle-Wittenberg: Martin-Luther-Universität, published 2016. —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
