PIE Office (still on another platform)

This is a simple web-browser app built for those who need or would like to type in the writings systems for ancient Indo-European languages. This is actually the third implementation of the same program originally written as a command line utility, the pieoffice, followed by a GUI version, the pieoffice-gui.

The main converting engine is a node module of mine, so you could also use on your JS applications (pieoffice-js).

The project is currently stored here.

Transliteration schemes

I still must find a way to implement the transliteration schemes in the webapp itself, this will probably come in a later and "final" version of it. For now, I offer the following sections with the information needed, but I do think that the best thing possible is to check the files in src/converters/, since I might forget something.

Proto-Indo-European

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

Polytonic Greek

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

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 --> 𐀡𐀫 𐂄 𐄙𐄑

Vedic / Sanskrit

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

I tried to keep the system as flexible as possible allowing diacritics (zá) 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 𔗁, 100 𔗃, and 1000 𔗄 are currently unavailable. If necessary, use the forms DECEM, CENTUM and MILLE for them.

Hieroglyphic Luwian

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:

"MAGNUS.REX MAGNUS-TONITRUS MAGNUS.REX HEROS ka-ra-ka-mi-sà REGIO REX || X-pa-VIR-ti-sa MAGNUS.REX HEROS INFANS-ní-mu-za || wa-tu-tá-a CORNU-ra-ti REGIO LIS arha.-SPHINX || *273"\ 𔐒 𔖙𔓢 𔐒 𔐕 𔕢𔗷𔗧𔖻𔑶 𔔆 𔐑 || X𔕸𔕠𔑣𔗔 𔐒 𔐕 𔐰𔓵𔑾𔖪 || 𔗬𔑢𔐞𔗷 𔒂𔖱𔑣 𔔆 𔐘 𔓹𔒒 || 𔔴

Known Issues

For whatever reason, Edge and sometimes Chrome on Windows have problems loading the website due to the longer scripts for Luwian. It happened out of the blue, so I don't have a perfect fix for it.
