Twenty-One Hymns to the Rescuer Mother of Buddhas in four scripts: Tibetan, Manchu, Galik Mongolian, and Chinese

The Galik script (Mongolian: Али-гали үсэг, Ali-Gali üseg) is an extension to the traditional Mongolian script. It was created in 1587 by the translator and scholar (Mongolian: Аюуш гүүш), inspired by the third Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso. He added extra characters for transcribing Tibetan and Sanskrit terms when translating religious texts, and later also from Chinese. Some of those characters are still in use today for writing foreign names.[1]

Some authors (particularly historic ones like Isaac Taylor in his The Alphabet: an account of the origin and development of letters, 1883) don't distinguish between the Galik and standard Mongolian alphabets.

Notes[]

  1. ^ Second glyph should look like a left-pointing tail for correct appearance.
  2. ^ Should look like: ᠡ‍ aleph + ‍ᠤ‍ waw + ‍ᠧ‍ bet + ‍ᠧ‍ bet + ‍ᠡ right-tailed aleph for correct appearance. For relevant terminology, see Mongolian script § Vowels and § Native consonants.
  3. ^ All final letters a should look like left-pointing tails and be connected with the preceding letter for correct appearance. Those a's directly preceded by any of the bow-shaped letters k, kh, g, p, ph, and b should also include a tooth in between. For relevant terminology, see Mongolian script § Graphemes.
