Mongolian Information Processing
Although the Mongolian Information
Processing works began from 1980's, because of the
standardization of the Mongolian have not been completed
well, a lot kinds of The Mongolian Information Processing
works have been delayed and the level is very low, we can say
we are still standing at the beginning point of the Mongolian
Information Processing world. Currently, we are all connected
by internet and our daily life deeply depends on the digital
world. The Mongolian digitization or Information Processing
will be widely required by our Mongolians. The main problem
of the Mongolian Information Processing is the
Standardization of the Encoding. There are a lot kinds of
Mongolian System in Inner Mongolia, Mongolia, and other
countries or regions. But most of currently existing
Mongolian system defined their own encoding code and
different from each other. The contents and the texts created
by each individual system hard to convert to other system and
we can not use these kind on Mongolian System to communicate
on Internet. We can not share our techniques and knowledge by
these Mongolian System. It is very important to use Unicode
Standards to unify the Mongolian Encoding quickly.
Unicode Mongolian Standards
Unicode Standards is a global
encoding standards which is accepted by all of the OS Venders
and System makers. In the early 2000, The Mongolian Unicode
Proposal had been accepted by the ISO Organization and
Unicode Consortium. Just because of the implementation method
of the Mongolian Unicode is very difficult and not exist till
the Windows Vista support it by OpenType Font rendering
techniques. Now, the Unicode Mongolian Encodings, can be
supported by OpenType Font rendering techniques on Windows,
Linux & Unix. and by AAT Font rendering techniques on Mac
OS X, iOS.
The Mongolian Font
The Mongolian is the script used by
Mongolain Peoples from 13th Century. It is actually an
alphabetic script, but the Mongolian have a special writing
style. Firstly, the Mongolian write in vertical line and the
line feed direction is from left to right. This writing style
is all different from other languages existing on the world.
It is different with the Chinese and Japanese Vertical Line
mode. Secondly, the Mongolian alphabet will be writing as
continuously in a word. All of the alphabet, will be changed
to different glyph to write at a word beginning, in a word
between other alphabet, or at the word final position. For
this reason, the Mongolian alphabet at least have 4
presentation glyphs, Isolate, Initial, Medial, and Final
presentation glyph. Some of them have other special glyphs
additionally.
Currently, we have Unicode Mongolian
Standards which is encoded by the Mongolian Alphabets. For
displaying the Mongolian correctly, we have to change the
alphabet to proper presentation glyph in the text. For
support this kinds of glyph change requirements, Microsoft
and Adobe defined a new Font Specification -
OpenType font techiniqes and Apple
defined their own Specification
AAT(Apple Advanced Type) font
techniques. The OpenType font mostly used on Microsoft
windows and Linux & Unix Systems. The AAT font mostly
used on Apple products like Mac OS X and iOS used on smart
phone or tablet like iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
We are strongly promote the Unicode
Mongolian Standards for unifying the Mongolian system
encodings to make our Mongolian digital worlds will be able
to communicate each other directly. This Mongolian Font site
will provide necessary Fonts, Techniques and Applications for
Unicode Mongolian Standards. Please feel free to download and
utilize it. If you have any additional questions or advices,
please let us know.
