概要

Internatinalization (18N) is a simultaneous mixing of any number of scripts,which may be varied from one another in writing direction or internal structure of a syllabic.Practically,mixing of the scripts written horizontally and those written vertically should be realized without any inconsistencies.Such tniely I18Nized world of scripts was once realized in the age of the Mongolian Empire.Not only their first Uighur and its reformed classic Mongolian scripts,written vertically,but also Paspa,Soyombo,Tibetan,Devanagari,and Chinese Hantsu,of course,were mixed especially for writing religeous texts or monuments.Also today,Mongolian language is transcribed by the descendants of the Classic Mongolian Script,phonemic and position-dependent one like Perso-Arabic.[figure][figure]These two involve glyph-sound ambiguities but differ in the number of the letters and in some writing conventions.Todo,which means "exact" in Mongolian,script keeps a one-letter-to-one-sound principle.It is evident that the principled ways to define both of a character and a glyph are required to manipulate such scripts.[figure]
