Re: [XeTeX] xetex-itrans map for Gujarati
There seems to be some problem with the itrans-sguj mapping; it produces gibberish with every Gujarati font I tried. The other mapping produces a readable output but I cannot tell if it is correct, because I only have Sanskrit texts to run, nothing in Gujarati.

It is generally better to put any special *.cls and *.sty files (something not
part of TeX Live proper) for a paper, thesis, etc., in the document's own
subdirectory, and to consider them part of the set of files (along with *.tex,
*.bib, *.eps, etc.) that go into building your document. So if you create a
tarball for your document, include the special *.cls and *sty along with the
*.tex, the *.bib, etc., and port them alongside. It is possible to add stuff
to the TeX Live tree by hand but such changes are quite brittle, and in any
case your document will then also not build on other machines (e.g., work

Actually, 1×n is all that is required, as long as the mappings are bijectional, but this requires two passes. Firstly to convert to ITRANS, then secondly to the desired script. I can identify one instance where the mapping is not bijectional, as ব in Bengali stands for both ब and व in Devanagari, and this has already been mentioned here, I believe, but even so, a set of n×n mappings doesn't help this situation. The problem is much worse with Tamil, which does not have separate symbols/sounds for क, ख, ग, घ, or प, फ, ब, भ, etc. (which is also a reason that Tamil speakers are known to mispronounce Sanskrit words/names where these consonants are found). I meant that 1 × n is preferable for Sanskrit texts (as suggested in the thread subject) to be expressed in multiple fully Sanskrit-compatible scripts. I don't know about Bengali, but I believe for Tamil there are special extended notations, something like க் with subscript 1 being क, with subscript 2 being ख, etc. These are non-classical typographical notations and have no Unicode formulation so there is no way to handle the situation with either 1 × n or n × n. The xetex-itrans package offers a way to express Tamil using ITRANS input, and Sanskrit in Kannada/Roman/Telugu/Devanagari script using ITRANS input, but not a way to code Sanskrit in Tamil script using ITRANS input. As far as I know, there is no straight-forward way to code Sanskrit in Tamil script using Unicode.

El dic 20, 2010, a las 9:26 p.m., A u escribió: thats about the best I can tell. People reading Sanskrit in Roman script is the main source of mispronunciation. Even if we condemn use of the Roman script for the sake of argument (which itself is a serious stretch, IMHO), there is plenty of mispronunciation by people who read and write Devanagari and Kannada also -- for instance, a Devanagari reader (whose native language may be Hindi) is likely to take out the final ह्रस्व vowel at the end of the word, so that राम is mispronounced as राम् as with Hindi words. A Kannada reader is likely to insert a दीर्घ vowel in place of the ह्रस्व in many cases; in fact because such reading of final ह्रस्व as दीर्घ is common, many words that actually need a final दीर्घ are incorrectly spelled without it, e.g., ತಾರಾ (तारा) is written as ತಾರ (तार) instead. anyway it's individuals choice. In a sense, it is not just an individual choice to present Sanskrit in scripts other than Devanagari -- the quantity of Sanskrit published in other scripts (either historically or just in the present day) is not small. Thats why गङ्गे is read as Ganges (गन्जिस) Such distortions occur with other scripts also. I don't think IAST in particular is any worse for this than any other system. Good luck Thanks.

But not written in modern algebraic/arithmetic/set-theoretic notation; it

is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
If you edit and publish one of these works - as many do - you need the math
capabilities of TeX. Hayashi's edition of the Bakhshali MS contains both an
edition of the Sanskrit text from the codex unicus and a translation of it
into English. Both parts of Hayashi's work used TeX's math capabilities
extensively. Most editions are like this.
These would count as contemporary translations of Sanskrit works, or
presentations of math from Sanskrit works, which I already mentioned.

Because of that before running TeX it has to be postprocessed - because he used many restricted characters for inputing hindi characters. Not true here. In this respect the Telugu TeX and Kannada TeX (which is based on Telugu TeX) input methods are better as they do not use these characters.
