The Lords Prayer in 500 Languages

Intended to serve as a showpiece for multi-script publishing capabilities, this work is an odd collection of texts in a large number of languages and writing systems. The Latin script based text (and that includes fragments in Fraktur script), is to be handled in the regular PGDP site. The non-Latin pieces can be added here in the Wiki. Note that some scripts cannot be handled at all, as both fonts and Unicode encoding are still forthcoming. These will be handled as illustrations.

Instructions

Sometimes, the pages are much easier to read on the alternate version available on the Internet Archive. Please check that if you have trouble reading a characters. I didn't use it for the OCR, as it has been scanned much lighter than the source I actually used, but for non-Latin scripts that often works out better.

Tools

Unicode Character Pickers

Virtual Keyboards

Mac OS X includes keyboard layouts that will give direct access to most of the more common unicode scripts. Many come in a QWERTY variant so all you have to do is type the nearest equivalent Roman letter. See the "Language and Text" System preference.

Languages by Script Type

All links should be internal (that is, go elsewhere on this same page). The word "script" is included to keep links from going around in circles when the name of a script is also the name of a language.

The notation DONE means only that the passage has had a preliminary type-in. Most need to be re-checked (ideally, proofed by someone other than the original typist) and then approved by the Project Manager.

Canadian Syllabics

Here is a chart of the syllabary as used for Chipewyan and Tinné. Note

ᐅ is o, while ᐆ is u, and the same with all consonants (I guess there are no long vowels)

ᒥ m, ᓯ s, ᔨ j/y are used as in UCAS

ᐱ is b (there is no p)

ᑎ is d, while t is ᕠ (now used for th)

ᒋ is th, while g looks more like ᖋ("West-Cree ri")

k ᑭ and n ᓂ have anomalous forms but the general shape is as expectd

l ᓕ is similarly squared-off so it looks more like ᕆ (r)

the letter that looks like ᗰ ("carrier g") is "ch"

ᕬ is tth

the nearest approximation of tz is ᘚ (conventionally j, meaning dzh?)

ditto sl : ᖘ (conventionally sh)

ᖇ (now tlh) is kl

they couldn't squeeze in the "w" series ᐎ so it's off to the side

This book consistently uses the alternative letterforms for initial a and for ṇ (ण). This is purely typographic (like long "s") and can be disregarded. Also beware of ī (following a consonant) and o, as they look very similar. Some languages use diphthongs and will therefore have initial vowel forms in mid-word.

Dedication

Dedication (ALT)

The dedication in Sanskrit in Devanagari script:

The dedication in Tamil, in Tamil script and automatic transcription: (note that the special shape for றொ is not supported by most fonts)

அப்படியிருக்க, நம்மில் அவரவாகளுடைய ஜென்மபாஷைகனிலே இவர்கள் பேசக் கோட்கிறொமே, இதெப்படி?

appaṭiyirukk, nammil avaravākaḷuṭaiy jeṉmapāṣaikaṉilē ivarkaḷ pēcak kōṭkiṟomē, iteppaṭi?

A

Abkhazian

Abkhazian uses Cyrillic script with some additional letters.

Diacritic markup used:

` = squiggly accent between letters a bit like an s on its side (Maybe Unicode U+02E2 modifier letter small s?)

[gh] = yogh(ȝ), or maybe ezh(ʒ). ("Character that looks like a 3 but probably some variation on z?") This is used to transliterate U+04E1 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ABKHASIAN DZE (ӡ).

['t] = t with an acute accent, also on p and k

[' 'c.] = c with 2 acute accents and a dot below [space added to stop two single quotes being interpreted as wiki markup]

[(p] = p with what looks like left curly quote or left bracket above, also on c, may also be what's intended on the k's in hat`yz['k]u['k]ou rather than acute accents? P2 says: ['k] and [(k] are probably different characters, because they transliterate different Cyrillic characters: KA verus U+049B CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER KA WITH DESCENDER (қ).

Accadian

Accadian uses Cuneiform script, to be included as illustration. We however can transcribe the Latin transcription.

Proofers note: Transcription uses s with hacek [vs] and g with a hook above [,g]

Albanian

Tosk, or Southern Albanian uses Greek script.

Aleutic

Aleutic is here given in Church Slavonic script.

(I think the Cyrillic block of Unicode has the necessary characters. According to this page, Arial Unicode MS has the necessary historical characters).

Algerian

Algerian uses Arabic script.

Altai-Tartar

Altai-Tartar uses Cyrillic script with additional letters.

Amharic

Amharic uses Ethiopic script.

Anglo-Saxon

Anglo-Saxon is here presented in the old Irish style, and can be represented as it is a variant of Latin script. Most extra letters are in Unicode block Latin Extended-D (hex A720), available in the medievalist font Junicode.

Characters used (besides the obvious ð and þ):

wynn ƿ hex 01BF

yogh ȝ hex 021D

dotless i ı hex 0131

insular g ᵹ hex 1D79 (the form of capital G used here does not seem to be in unicode)

insular d ꝺ A77A

insular f ꝼ A77C

insular r ꞃ A783

insular (long) s ꞅ A785

insular t ꞇ A787

Soð[**typo for thorn?]lıce.

To transliterate this text into ISO LATIN 1, replace the insular letterforms with the ordinary Latin letters, and replace wynn with w. The text probably does not use hyphens, based on mid-line behavior.

An attempt in putting this into modern English. I'm not very good at this, so please correct me where you can. [--] (meaning in brackets) are words that do not exist any more, [???] words that I did not understand.

There are many online sources of transliterations. I used this one.

Father our thou that(?) art in heaven, Be thine name hallowed. To-become

thine [--(reign) (Gmc. "Reich")]. [--(let be) (I think this is an imperative/subjunctive)] thine will on earth, [--(just as) (lit. so so)] in

heaven. Our [--(daily)] [--(food) (lit. loaf i.e. bread)] [--(give) (lit. sell)] us today. And

forgive us our [--(debts) (lit. guilts)], just as we forgive our [--(debtors) (lit. guilt-ers)].

And not lead thou us on [--(temptation) (OE word, replaced in ME)], and [--(release)] us of evil.

[--(soothly)]]

Arabic

Arabic is given in two variants of Arabic script, and in Hebrew letters.

Armenian

Armenian uses the Armenian script.

Armenian is in Unicode starting at U+530.

Assyrian

Assyrian is given in the Assyrian Cuneiform, to be included as an illustration. We can handle the transcription.

Assamese

Assamese is given in the Bengali script.

Azerbaijani

Azerbaijani is given in the Arabic script. Currently this language uses the Latin script, after having used Cyrillic and Latin before.

B

Badaga

Badaga (ALT) is given here in both Telugu and Tamil script.

Tamil script

The Tamil uses a number of accents (tilde and acute) that can be picked from the general diacritics block, but are unlikely to render correctly in most fonts. There is also a very weird conjunct here.

Baluchi

Baluchi is given here in Arabic script.

Bandelkhandi

Bandelkhandi is here given in Devangari script.

Much easier to read on the alternative scans on TIA.

ये स्वर्गमें रहनेवारे हमउनको ददा तुमरे नाम पवित्र होवत । तुमरो राज आवत ।

तुमरे इछापूर्व स्वर्गमें जसो तसो संसारूमें करो जावत । हमउनके जीवनयोग खुराक

आज हमउनकुं देत । पुनैं हमउनको करज हमउनकुं माफ करत जसे हमरे अपने

करजवारेनकुं माफ करत हतें । पुनैं परिछामें हमउनकुं जिनलेत किंतु बुराईतें

छोडावत । काये राज पुनैं पराक्रम पुनैं महिमा नित्युन्नत्य तुमरो हतो । आमिन ॥

Batta

Batta is here given in its own script (twice).

This page on the Batak alphabet may be helpful.

Batak is in Unicode starting at 1BC0.

These Batak fonts aren't encoded in Unicode, so we can't use them directly.

Bengali

Bengali (ALT) uses its own Bengali script.

হে আমাদের শ্বর্গস্থ পিতঃ, তোমার নাম পবিত্র বলিয়া মান্য হউক ।

তোমার রাজ্য আইসুক । তোমার ইচ্ছা স্বর্গে যেমন পৃথিবীতেও তেমনি

পালিত হউক । আমাদের প্রয়োজনীয় খাদ্য অদ্য আমাদিগকে দাও ।

আর আমরা আপন আপন অপরাধীদিগকে যেমন ক্ষমা করিয়াছি,

তুমিও আমাদের অপরাধ সকল তদ্দ্রপ[**?] ক্ষমা কর । আর আমাদিগকে

পরাক্রম ও মহিমা এ সকলই সদাকাল তোমার । আমেন ॥

Musulman Bengali

TODO.

Berber

Berber is here given in the Arabic script.

Bhagalkhandi

Bhagalkhandi (ALT)is here given in the Devanagari script. The अे is non-standard, and might not work on some systems.

अे सरगुमों रहबेबारे हमनुके दाऊजू तिहांरो नांय पवित्तरू हूहें । तिहांरो राजु आहें ।

तिहांरो परसंदु सरगुमों जेसो संसारूमों करावो जेहें । हमनुकों जियबेलायकु

खुराकु आजु हमनुकों देह । बोर हमनुकों कडुवा हमनुको माफु करो जेसो हमारे अपुने

ऋनियनुकों माफ करतुहें । बोर परिछामों हमनुकों जिनुलेहु लेकिनु छडावो ।

काहेतें राजु बोर पराक्रमु बोर महातमु सदा तिहांरे हें । आमिन् ।

Bhatneri

Bhatneri is here given in the Devanagari script.

Here as elsewhere, it is very hard to distinguish between ī and o. But I think the word रोजीना in the final line has one of each. Also here as elsewhere, the alternative letterforms for a अ and ṇ ण were disregarded. I put a space before | for readability but this can be adjusted globally. This text was corrected based on the same alternative scan used for Bhojpuri (same page).

हे दरगामैं रैणवाला असींदै भाजीं तुशीरा नांव निर्मल मान्य हुवै । तुसिरो राउल

आंदो । तुसीरी खातर दरगामैं जिसडी तिसडी संसारमैं कीतीजांदी । असांनै

जीवणलायक खुराक आज असांन देंदा । फेर असींदो लैणो असीनै छाड जिसडा

असींदै लैणायतानुं छाडंदेहै । ओरे कीमतमैं असीनु नलेंदा लेइबो कोफाइशु

छाडादो । किसूण राउल फेर शबलता फेर महातम रोजीना तुशींदेहै । आमिन ।

Can't help but feel the last word should be आमिन् with virama (and I can see no phonetic reason why they couldn't use "e"), but maybe the language won't tolerate final consonants? [**and I think I've got any initial ā entered correctly as आ rather than अा :-P] [**my computer will not display "ru" and "rū" correctly, but I think this is a rendering-support compromise since they would otherwise have to make precombined forms]

Bhojpuri

Bhojpuri is here given in the Devanagari script. It is much more readable in TIA's own scan of the same edition. Characters that are indecipherable in the google version become crystal-clear here. But I'm still not sure about ī vs. o, since that's typography.

हे सरगमें रहनीहार हमरन्हकें बाप राउर नाव पवित्र होखे । राउर राज आवसु ।

राउरा खातिरखाह सरगमें जइसन तइसन संसारमें कइल जाइ । हमरन्हकें जीएमाफिक

खायक आजु हमरन्हकें दिहह । अउरु हमरन्हकें कर्ज्ज हमरन्हकें माफ करह जइसन

हमरा आपना कज्जींदारन्हकें माफ करीले । अउरु परिखेमें हमरन्हकें जनी लेह

मानो बेकरइसें छोइवह । काहेजे राज अउरु परतुटी अउरु परभुता नीति राउर

हवे । आमिन ।।

Bikaniri

Bikaniri (ALT) is here given in the Devanagari script.

हे स्वर्गमें रेंणवाला म्हांका वाभा थारो नांवो निर्मल व्हें । थारो राज आवें । थारा

मनमाफक स्वर्गमें जिस्यो तिस्यो संसारमें करया जाय । म्हांनें जीवणलायक षूराक

आज म्हांनें देवो । ओर म्हांकों ऋण म्हानों माफ करो जिस्यो म्हे आपका लेंणायतांनें

माफ करांछां । ओर परषमें म्हांनें मतोले लेर बींठाईसूं छुडावो । क्योंस राज ओर

बल ओर महात्म रोजीनां थांका छें । आमिन् ॥

Bisaya

Bisaya (Cebuano) is here given in the old Baybayin script. Note that the style here is as used by Hervas in 1787. See this chart for details. Final consonants are not written at all, and the D is used to represent the R. The text seems to be a straightforward transliteration of the text below it.

Tagalog is in Unicode starting at 1700.

Tagalog fonts are available at [1].

Braj-Bhasha

Braj-Bhasha (alternative scans) is here given in the Devanagari script.

ह स्वर्गमैं रहनवारे हमारे पिता तुम्हारो नाम पतित्र होई । तुम्हारे राज आवै ।

जैसो तुम्हारो वांवित स्वर्गमैं हैं तैसों धरनीमैं हूं कर्यौ जाय । हमारे जीवनलायक

भोजन आज हमकूं देउ । और जैसैं हम अपने कर्यवारेनकूं क्षमा करैं हैं तैसैंही

हमारो ऋण हमैं क्षमा करो । और हमकूं परीक्षामैं मति लेउ परंतु हमकूं बुराईतैं

ळुढाओ । याकारणं राज और पराक्रम और महातम सदा तुम्हारोही औ । आमेन ।।

[**I don't know what that first letter in the last line is (another non-standard letterform?), so I put it as ळ which is almost certainly wrong. Similarly the last one-letter word in the last sentence, so I pretended there was another vertical line. They didn't mean a + ai did they? Someone should tell the Braj-Bhashiis that you don't have to end all syllables with "aiṃ" :-)]

Bugi

Bugi is here given in its own Bugi script.

I think this script is Lontara, which Unicode calls [http:http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1A00.pdf Buginese].

Bulgarian

Bulgarian is here given in the Church Slavonic and Cyrillic scripts.

Cyrillic:

Отче нашъ, който си на небеса, да ся святи име-то твое. Да

дойде царство-то твое; да бѫде воля-та твоя, както на небе-то, така

и на землеѫ-тѫ. Хлѣбъ-тъ нашъ насѫщный, дай го намъ днесь. И прости

ни дългове-тѣ наши, какъ-то и ный прощавамы на наши-тѣ длъжницы.

И не въведи насъ въ искушеніе, но избави насъ отъ лукаваго;

защото с твое царство-то и сила-та и слава-та во вѣкы. Аминь.

Buriat

Buriat is here given in the Cyrillic script.

Burmese

Burmese is here given in the Burmese script.

In Unicode, the Burmese script is known as Myanmar and starts at 1000.

C

Cantonese is here given in the Chinese script.

我哋嘅父在天、願你

Note: The direction of text has been changed from top-to-bottom, right-to-left to left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Also, the text needs to be checked by someone else. The only character I'm not really sure about is 暁.The punctuation in the original is kind of weird, but usable.

Carshuni

Carshuni is here given in the Syriac script.

Chamba

Chamba is here given in its own script.

Proposal to Unicode consortium

This script will be included in version 6.1 of the Unicode standard, under the name Takri, starting at U+11680.

Draft Unicode 6.1

Cheremiss

Cheremiss is given in the Cyrillic script.

Cherokee

Cherokee is fully covered in Unicode, next door to the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics.

Chinese

Chinese is here given in Chinese characters, side by side with a translation.

Chippewyan

Chippewyan can probably be faked-up using the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, though the letterforms are a bit different. (Also check UCAS Extended but note that font support is very limited for this character block.)

Here is another version of the text. I kinda suspect we are in a different dialect. Or a different set of missionaries.

The vowel "aai" occurs a few other places in the text-- it's shown as a small circle over the "i" version of the consonant-- while "aa" would best represent the expected pronunciation.

Note that the Roman text as printed is not a transliteration of the syllabics but an entirely different text. In the syllabic version, some long vowels (anything with a simple dot over it) are almost certainly spurious.

For comparison purposes here is the version given in the Moravian liturgy. The sounds represented by r and q are closely related, and some Labradorian dialects have -k- in place of -q-. (The Moravians could hear the difference.) So for example "suqlu" and "sorlo" are the same word.

I couldn't find two characters: [亻人] and [亻鞋]. I wouldn't be surprised if the first one is possible in Unicode, but I would be surprised if the second one is possible. [** I've inserted the [亻人] character: U+201A7, 𠆧]

Greek (Ancient)

The first two versions (physical page 59) are best shown as illustrations. Note that all "Ancient" versions are koiné, not true classical Greek.

General Caution: The wiki, like the Forums, has a nasty habit of converting your typed letter-with-acute ("oxia") into a thoroughly unwanted letter-with-generic-accent. (Do not allow anyone to tell you they are the same.) At the time of this book, even "modern" Greek didn't have the one-size-fits-all "tonos" yet.

"Textus Receptus"

Matthew:

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ

βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς

γῆς· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον· καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν

τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν· καὶ

μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμὸν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.

ὅτι σοῦ ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

Ἀμήν.

Luke:

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία

σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν

τὸν ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν τὸ καθ’ ἡμέραν· καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν, καὶ

γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίεμεν παντὶ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμὸν,

ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.

Westcott and Hort

This is printed in a wonky font, featuring among other things the lunate sigma, but it isn't really important for the text.

Matthew:

  Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·

Ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου,

ἐλθάτω[*] ἡ βασιλεία σου,

γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,

  ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ [*] γῆς·

καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,

  ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.

[*] These are the only words that differ from the Textus Receptus.

Luke:

Πάτερ, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθάτω[*] ἡ βασιλεία σου· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν

ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν τὸ καθ’ ἡμέραν· καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν, καὶ

Gujarati

Gujarati, given here in three variants. Note that the Devanagari version is not a transcription of the Gujarati script version.

Devanagari script

Here as elsewhere, the variant letterform of अ (initial a) is not significant. [**Jeroen, I wasn't sure if the letter that always follows "ll" (ळ) is ī or o, so I proofed it as ī. Also have no idea what that funny-looking letter (middle of line 3, beginning of de-hyphenated line 4 and elsewhere) is, so I typed it as h based solely on very last word.] [The funny looking letter was a छ; the Hindi ह is often changed to छ in Gujarati, so your confusion is clear. Please type आ always with the correct letter, not as अ plus matra.]

अरे स्वर्गमा रेहेवावाळा अमारा बाप तारूं नाम पवित्र थाय । तारुं राज आबे ।

तारा मनमाफक स्वर्गमा जेवुं तेवुं जगतमा करुं जाय । अमोने जिवा लायेक खावाने

રોટલી આજ અમને આપ. અને જેમ અમે અમારા

ઋણીઓને માફ કરિયેછિયે, તેમ તું અમારાં ઋણો

અમનો માફ કર. અને અમને પરીક્ષણમાં ન લાવ, પણ

Hindi

Hindi TIA scans is written in Devanagari script. Note that this book uses a different shape for some letters than used in the default font available on most systems. This distinction is, however, not important.

हे हमारे स्वर्गबासी पिता, तेरा नाम पवित्र किया जाय ।

I

Irish

Irish is given in two versions. Note that they are not the same text.

The first uses the Irish form of the Latin script; see Anglo-Saxon for details. Watch out for the dot over m and d!

The second version (top of following page) uses ordinary Roman script.

Iroquois

"Iroquois" is here written in the Latin alphabet, with an additional character represented by the ordinary numeral 8. This may be intended to represent the glottal stop. (There exists a unicode phonetic character, but it is not used in ordinary writing, only in phonetic transcription.)

Note that "Iroquois" is not actually a language but a language family with seven surviving members. The text given here is obviously not Cherokee, which has its own script and its own history. The others (Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Tuscarora, collectively "Six Nations") are spoken in what is now the northeastern US and Eastern Canada. This one might be Mohawk.

The "8" might be "Latin Small Letter OU" (U+0223, ȣ).

Note: The direction of text has been changed from top-to-bottom, right-to-left to left-to-right, top-to-bottom. I've removed line breaks from the katakana and hiragana texts, on the general proofing principle that a line break is permissible wherever a space is permissible and vice versa: these texts have spaces between words/phrases, but not at the line ends.

Karen is here written in the Myanmar script.

I don't know Ryukyuan ("Loochoo"), but I've attempted a transcription--I've no idea whether it makes sense. There are a couple of strange diacritics (テ゚, ユ゙) that I suspect may be typos.

Note: The direction of text has been changed from top-to-bottom, right-to-left to left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

M

Madurese

In this book, Madurese is written in the Javanese script.

The Unicode code page for Javanese starts at A980.

Makassar

Makassar is here written in its own script, Lontara. The scripts appears very simple and geometric, consisting as it does of only hooks and dots. In Unicode it is called Buginese, and starts at U+1A00. Also see this Unicode proposal, and this description at Omniglot.

[**Holy smokes. I would never have guessed this was a member of the Brahmi family. The book says Celebes (Sulawesi in modern Indonesia). Note the interesting direction of penstrokes, with the thicker lines running northeast to southwest although the language is written left-to-right. Most scripts in this family have the pen held sideways-- horizontal strokes dominant-- because of the writing material (palm leaves or similar).]

Mingrelian

Mingrelian is here written in the Georgian script.

The Unicode code page for Georgian starts at 10A0.

Mithili

Mithili or TIA scans is here written in the Devanagari script. Curiously, this language is currently also written in its own script (the Mithilakshar/Tirhuta script), which is more closely related to Bengali.

Proposal to Unicode consortium

Proposed Unicode encoding

(Thanks mroe for the interesting background information; I didn't know about this script yet -- Jeroen.).

N

Nama or Khoi-Khoi

Nama is here written in the Latin script, with additional IPA characters for click sounds:

01C0 LATIN LETTER DENTAL CLICK ǀ (no relation to plain vertical bar |)

01C1 LATIN LETTER LATERAL CLICK ǁ (no relation to punctuation mark ‖)

01C2 LATIN LETTER ALVEOLAR CLICK ǂ

In the X-SAMPA ASCII encoding of IPA, these are:

|

|\|\

=\

There is also a character that looks like Greek lower-case chi χ. The character is not separately encoded in the IPA Extensions block. Watch out for the italicized a (sometimes) and g (always), and dots under some occurrences of ḷ (do not confuse with click!) and ẹ. Both are in unicode, as are ẽ (e-tilde) and ū (u-macron).

Nanking

Nanking (Southern Mandarin) is here written in Chinese characters.

我們的父？，你在天上，

？你的名兒？人？？

？你的？？？？，？你

的？？？？成？，在地

如在天一？，我們？用

？你？我的？，？我免

人？的？兒，不？由我

八？？你？我出惡？。

的是？？？？？？一

？是你的，？？世世代

I couldn't make out all the characters - the ones I don't know are written as ？. I'm not 100% sure I got the punctuation right. Also, I don't speak any Chinese languages, so someone else should check this.

Note: The direction of text has been changed from top-to-bottom, right-to-left to left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

Old Norse (runic)

Runes are in Unicode beginning at 16A0 (hex).

The Wikipedia page on the Runic alphabet may be helpful.

ᚠᛆᚦᛅᛦ ᚢᚮᛦ ᛋᚮᛘ ᛆᛋᛐ ᛁ ᚼᛁᛘᛚᚤᛘ ᚼᛆᛚᚵᛆᚦ ? ᛆᚱᚦᛅ ᚦᛁᛏ ᚿᛆᛘᛆ.

[**the printed transcription seems to be letter-for-letter: that is, the identical text in Roman type with both ð and þ (eth and thorn).]

[**more information, just to keep from cluttering up the project thread: The runic text is obviously not Old Norse, but appears to be Middle Norse from 1400-ish. The two fraktur texts bracketing the previously discussed ;-) non-fraktur anything-but-norwegian are interesting. The first one is your basic Dano-Norse as written at the time this book-- or some earlier edition-- was compiled. The second one is Actual Norwegian. That is, a genuine western Norwegian dialect as spoken by genuine Norwegians.]

O

Ojibbeway

"Ojibbeway" (Ojibwe or Chippewa, no relation to Chipewyan) use the same UCAS characters as Cree, including the separate vowel "e", plus a couple of newcomers, pwe (ᐺ) and twaa (ᑣ). The flyspecky look comes from the unusual number of long vowels, counterbalanced by syllable-final ᓐ (n) and even some ᓐᒃ (nk) clusters. Phonetically this is probably ᖕᒃ ("ngk") but I kept it as written. This language is ordinarily written in Roman script, so I don't think there's a composite -ngk- character.

[**I used ' in two places where vowels were written as separate characters in the syllabic text. I don't remember if Ojibwe has a glottal stop, but there must be some kind of break. Note that I used j instead of y for keyboard reasons; the language really uses y.]

The script used for Panjabi, and a few other languages in this book, is called Gurmukhi. Behaves like Devanagari, but without the complex conjunct consonants.

Persian (or Western) Panjabi

R

"Rabbinical"

"Rabbinical" is here written in the Hebrew script.

Roumanian

Roumanian is here written in the Latin script and the Romanian version of the Cyrillic script as used before 1860: see Omniglot. The second text appears to be identical to the first.

Russian

Russian is here written in the Cyrillic script.

Отче нашъ, сущій на небесахъ! да святится имя Твое. Да пріидет

царствіе Твое; да будетъ воля Твоя и на землѣ, какъ на небѣ. Хлѣбъ

нашъ насущный дай намъ на сей день. И прости намъ долги наши,

какъ и мы прощаемъ должникамъ нашимъ. И не введи насъ въ искушеніе,

но избавь насъ отъ лукаваго. Ибо Твое есть царство и сила и

слава во вѣки. Аминь.

The following would be modern orthography (words the same):

Отче наш, сущий на небесах! да святится имя Твое. Да прийдет

царствие Твое; да будет воля Твоя и на земле, как на небе. Хлеб

наш насущный дай нам на сей день. И прости нам долги наши,

как и мы прощаем должникам нашим. И не введи нас в искушение,

но избавь нас от лукавого. Ибо Твое есть царство и сила и

слава во веки. Аминь.

Ruthenian

Ruthenian is Ukrainian, and I'm sort of familiar with it (not the old orthography but I had lived in Ukraine, studied it a little, and it's close to Russian anyway).

Ruthenian is using a Cyrillic script, but the letter "Н" (see for instance first letter of second, third and fourth sentences) looks a little different - I can't find a Unicode equivalent. Possibly it's just typography, but in this project typography seems important. The letterform of lowercase б also looks a bit different, like a miniature uppercase Б. Other letterforms also a little different.

The accents just mark the emphasized syllable.

Отче́ наш, що на не́бі! Неха́й свѧти́тьсѧ имѧ́ твоє́. Неха́й

при́йде ца́рство твоє́. Неха́й бу́де во́лѧ твоѧ́, ɪак на не́бі, так

и на землі́. Хліб наш щоде́нний дай нам сёго́дні. И прости́

нам довги́ на́ші, ɪак и ми проща́ємо довника́м на́щим.[**typo на́шим]

И не введи́ нас у споку́су, а изба́ви нас од лука́вого. Бо твоє́ єсть

ца́рство и си́ла, и сла́ва по ві́кн.[** typo for ві́ки] Амі́нь.

On the typos: compare with - http://www.youversion.com/bible/ukrk/matt/6/13

EDIT: Or see the very next project page, where the typos are corrected, and it's printed in a normal Cyrillic script without those slightly different letterforms. LOL. There are some difference, most notably "я" and "э".

Отче́ наш, що на не́бі! Неха́й святи́ться имя́ твоэ́. Неха́й при́йде

ца́рство твоэ́. Неха́й бу́де во́ля твоя́ як на не́бі, так и на землі́.

Хліб наш щоде́нний дай нам сёго́дні. И прости́ нам довги́ на́ші, як

и ми проща́эмо довника́м на́шим. И не введи́ нас у споку́су, а

изба́ви нас од лука́вого. Бо твоэ́ эсть ца́рство и си́ла, и сла́ва по

ві́ки. Амі́нь.

Sanskrit

The Sanskrit text is from the 100-language version, but I assume it's the same. It's a start anyway. I swiped the letter format from Hindi, above. Tip: leading colon to preserve line breaks, and div for format.

हे अस्माकं स्वर्गस्थपित:, तव नाम पूज्यं

भवतू तव राजत्वं भवतु, तवेच्छा खर्गे

यथा तथैव मेदिन्यामपि सफला भवतु

अस्माकं प्रयोजनीयम् आहारम अद्य देहि

वयं यथा निजापराधिन: क्षमामस्व

अस्मान् परीक्षां मानय, किन्तु पापात्मनो

रक्ष; (राजत्वं गौरवं पराक्रम: एते सर्व्वे

सर्व्वदा तव; तथास्तु) ॥

Servian

Servian is here written in the Cyrillic script.

Оче наш, који си на небесима, Да се свети име твоје. Да дође[**unsure, check high-res scan]

царство твоје. Да буде воља твоа, и на земљи као на небу. Хљеб

наш потребни дај нам данас. И опрости нам дугове наше, као и ми

што опраштамо дужницима својијем. И не наведи нас у напаст, Но

избави нас од зла. Іер је твоје царство, и сила, и слава ва вијек.

Амин.

Shanghai

Shanghai is here written in Chinese characters.

Siamese

โอ้ พระบิดา แห่ง ข้าพเจ้าทั้งหลาย ผู้ อยู่ในสวรรค์, ให้พระนาม ของพระองค์เปน[**old spelling. Modern spelling is เป็น] ที่นับถือ อัน บริสุท์ธิ. [**typo or archaic spelling.

Must be archaic spelling and not a typo.] เดช แล รัศมี ภาพ สิท์ธิ [** third time’s the charm. But it really feels weird. The space here between สิท์ธิ and ขาด is a little problematic] ขาดอยู่แก่ พระองค์สืบๆ ไป เปนนิจ. อาเม็น. [** unusual spelling.]

I have added all of the spaces here. Very odd. There are several spaces between words like in ฤท์ธิ เดช and สิท์ธิ ขาด. There are also multiple spaces mid-phrase. I have kept all of those here. I am not sure what the purpose is. I am fluent in Thai and have written and published in Thai. Please let me know how I can help. The image for this text can be found at 158.png ----bountonw

Thanks for adding the Thai. A range of Thai dictionaries are available on SEAlang, which could shed some light on archaic Thai spellings.

Sindhi

Sindhi is here written in Devanagari (TIA scans), Arabic, and Sinhalese scripts.

This uses Glagolitic script.

In the original, all letters are the same height. I'm assuming upper-case, but I'll do a version of sentence case afterwards.

Judaeo-Spanish

Judaeo-Spanish is here written in the Hebrew script. [**quick post here before I forget again. It's called Ladino. It is to Sephardim what Yiddish is to Ashkenazim. Not nearly as well known as Yiddish, at least not in the US, but has an analogous history.]

T

Tinné or Tenni

Tinné uses the same weird variant of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics as Chipewyan. If one is possible, so is the other.

U

Universal Syllabics

Universal Syllabics is English, written in a newly devised script. I can find no further information on this script.

Information on another curious Universal Phonetic Alphabet, and Omniglot actually has en entire page of such invented phonetic scripts. (Lucy24, you should really look at this) (Yes, if I wanted to destroy any chance of my ever mastering the real script as written! :-))

Urdu or Hindustani

Urdu The first paragraph is in an unfamiliar dialect and does not even match the English text. I have used the Arabic letters as those are used in the book. In the second paragraph letters with four dots above are used, probably because the printer did not have the letters with small tah (ط)available.

آسمان پو رھتي سو ھمانرا باپ تمانرا نانؤ پاك کرنا ھوني ديئو* تمانري

پادشاھي آني ديئو. تمانرا دل آسمان پو کرنا ھويٴ ساركا دنیان ميبھي

کرنا ھوني دیئو* ايك ايك دنكي ھمانري روزي ھمناكون آج دیئو*

ھمانري قرضدارنكون ھمي معاف کيٴ ساركا تميبھي ھمانري قرضانكون

ھمانكون معاف کرو* ھمناكون آزمانيكي اندر داخل مت كرو ھويئتو

زبوني مي سون ھمنا سرفراز کرو اوکياكھئيتو پادشاھيبھي قدرتبھي مرتمابھي

تمانكون مدام لك ھوکو ھي ھوي*

ای ھمارے باپ جو آسمان پر ھی۔ تیرا نام مقدّس

ھو۔ تيري بادشاھت آوے۔ تيري مرضي جيسي آسمان

پر ھی زمین پر بھي ھووے۔ ھماري روز کي روٿي آج

ھميں دے۔ اور ھمارے قرض ھميں معاف كر جیسے

ھم بھي اپنے قرضداروں كو معاف کرتے ھیں۔ اور

ھمیں آزمايش میں مت ڐال بلكه بُرائي سے بچا۔

كيونكه بادشاھت اور قدرت اور جلال ھميشه تيرا

ھي ھيں۔ آمین*

[**Transcribers note: Second paragraph only, modernised script and usage]

اے ہمارے باپ جو آسمان پر ہے۔ تیرا نام مقدّس

ہو۔ تیری بادشاہت آئے۔ تیری مرضی جیسی آسمان

پر ہے زمین پر بھی ہو۔ ہماری روز کی روٹی آج

ہمیں دے۔ اور ہمارے قرض ہمیں معاف کر جیسے

ہم بھی اپنے قرضداروں کو معاف کرتے ہیں۔ اور

ہمیں آزمائش میں مت ڈال بلکہ بُرائی سے بچا۔
