Script converters for Ancient Indo-European writing systems

Primary LanguageTypeScriptMIT LicenseMIT

pieoffice-js

This is a simple module built for those who need or would like to type in the writings systems for ancient Indo-European languages.

The project is currently working as an web app pieoffice-site.

Usage

Instalation

With npm:

npm install pieoffice

With yarn:

yarn add pieoffice

Importing it

If you desire to import only one of the transliteration schemes, say that for Avestan Script, you could add it on your .js file the following:

import { avestan } from "pieoffice";

After importing, function avestan() will be available, so for example:

console.log(avestan("mazdA")); // ๐ฌจ๐ฌ€๐ฌฐ๐ฌ›๐ฌ

There is also a allConverters array built to work with react-select components, example from my implementation on pieoffice-site:

import { allConverters } from "pieoffice";

...

const LangSelect = () => {

    const handleChange = (e) => {
            converter = e.converter;
    }

    return (
        <Select
            placeholder={"Select a script"}
            onChange={handleChange}
            options={allConverters}
        />
    );
}

Transliteration schemes

Proto-Indo-European pie(input)

Follows closely the Harvard-Kyoto transliteration scheme for Sanskrit. Resonants are encoded as uppercase, accents as slashes. w' = w; k', g' = แธฑ, วต.

Polytonic Greek polygreek(input)

Transliteration scheme based on BETACODE, including all the major diacritics (breathings, acute, grave, perispomenon and diairesis), breve and macron, koppa (including the archaic) and some bits and pieces. The full support for betacode is still a work in progress.

Linear B linearb(input)

Glyphs with known syllabic values should be written in lower-case, syllabically and numbered if +2. Glyphs with known logographic values should be written in upper-case. The only exception for said rule are the gendered logograms, which should be followed without space by a f or m. Glyphs with unknown value should be written with an asterisk followed by the number (2 or 3 digits).

This conversion scheme supports Aegean numbers and measurements.

Example:
po-ro EQUf 120 --> ๐€ก๐€ซ ๐‚„ ๐„™๐„‘

Vedic / Sanskrit hk_deva(input), hk_iast(input), hk_iso(input)

Use the Harvard-Kyoto encoding for both outputs. Udatta (only for IAST), anudatta and svarita are assigned by /, =, and \ after the vowel (or vowel + M), but the script also converts text marked with udatta to devanagari with anudatta and svarita notation (BETA).

Hittite hittite(input)

I tried to keep the system as flexible as possible allowing diacritics (zรก) and numerical typing (za2). So far it only covers the signs used in Van den Hout's textbook, with many issues concerning the fonts which employ workarounds to cover the Unicode chart's shortcomings. If you use either HPM or Ullikummi font it should be properly displayed, even if not in the browser. I strongly recommend to check the file at src/converters if you can not figure out how to type a value, I'm manually including the HZL numbers for future proofing. Please feel free to report any inconsistencies.

The rules for 10 ๐”—, 100 ๐”—ƒ, and 1000 ๐”—„ are currently unavailable. If necessary, use the forms DECEM, CENTUM and MILLE for them.

Hieroglyphic Luwian luwian(input)

Glyphs with known syllabic values should be written in lower-case, syllabically and with the proper diacritic or numbered if +4. Glyphs with known logographic values should be written in upper-case. Variants of known glyphs should be followed by one or more dots (.), generally the undotted variant is the more frequent one. Glyphs with unknown value should be written with an asterisk followed by the number (3 digits, including the 0).

Example:
