I began reading the the + +00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.820 +manual more closely. + +NOTE International Emacs + +00:04:51.820 --> 00:04:53.980 +As an American, I'm sad to say + +00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:55.540 +there's not a lot of + +00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:58.279 +other languages spoken or written + +00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.360 +where I'm from, + +00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.340 +so it's not common that I have to + +00:05:02.340 --> 00:05:04.920 +think about this with computers. + +00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.700 +I know international people + +00:05:07.700 --> 00:05:09.220 +have had to come up with + +00:05:09.220 --> 00:05:12.360 +with interesting ways to enter their text, + +00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.000 +and Emacs is probably a pioneer in that. + +00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:16.520 +I'd like to know more about the + +00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:17.820 +history of this, but + +00:05:17.820 --> 00:05:20.040 +there's a whole section in the manual on + +00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.501 +international Emacs. + +00:05:22.260 --> 00:05:23.940 +I began reading this and I was + +00:05:23.940 --> 00:05:25.540 +talking about + +00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.200 +different input methods, and how many + +00:05:28.200 --> 00:05:29.859 +different languages were supported, and + +00:05:29.859 --> 00:05:31.880 +how you could enter the text, and how it + +00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:34.860 +supports the different characters and so on. + +00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:36.739 +I even noticed a few languages + +00:05:36.739 --> 00:05:38.880 +support several input methods + +00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:41.940 +that became important for me later on as + +00:05:41.940 --> 00:05:43.540 +I was working on this. + +00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:45.380 +Many, many languages are already + +00:05:45.380 --> 00:05:46.820 +supported, so + +00:05:46.820 --> 00:05:48.479 +those of you who haven't looked into + +00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:50.280 +this yet, if you press + +00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:52.739 +`C-\`, it will open up a + +00:05:52.739 --> 00:05:53.780 +selection menu + +00:05:53.780 --> 00:05:57.039 +for you to select + +00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:59.220 +your input method, and you can, there's + +00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:01.540 +207 listed here. + +00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:03.220 +That's including the two that I've + +00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:04.739 +contributed. + +00:06:04.739 --> 00:06:09.399 +So 205 on a vanilla Emacs. + +00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.320 +That's a lot of languages supported + +00:06:11.320 --> 00:06:13.940 +by Emacs, but there's so many more + +00:06:13.940 --> 00:06:17.540 +that could be. And since Emacs is free + +00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:19.380 +software and it is what it is, I knew + +00:06:19.380 --> 00:06:20.300 +that defining a new + +00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:22.939 +input method was surely possible. + +00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:25.540 +Unfortunately the the manual didn't + +00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:27.220 +describe it directly, or at least I + +00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:28.900 +didn't pick it up. + +NOTE Quail + +00:06:28.900 --> 00:06:32.519 +You know, the new emacs hacker that I was, + +00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.980 +I timidly dove down into the source code + +00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:37.560 +and discovered the Quail package. + +00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.660 +So back in the day, apparently, there + +00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:44.860 +was Mule which is like the + +00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:47.460 +multi... I don't know it stood for, + +00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:48.200 +something about + +00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:50.360 +language environments, and it has + +00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.059 +evolved and. + +00:06:52.059 --> 00:06:55.260 +At some point some Japanese + +00:06:55.260 --> 00:06:58.200 +coders created an input method called + +00:06:58.200 --> 00:06:59.239 +Tamago, + +00:06:59.239 --> 00:07:03.799 +which means egg in Japanese. + +00:07:03.799 --> 00:07:06.820 +Tamago evolved into Quail, and + +00:07:06.820 --> 00:07:09.000 +in the comments you can see they talk + +00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.920 +about how the quail egg is eaten in + +00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.100 +Japan. It's a smaller thing. + +00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:15.580 +The quail-mode is like a nicer version + +00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:17.260 +of Tamago, I guess. + +00:07:17.260 --> 00:07:19.139 +There's a pun saying they hoped it would + +00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:22.739 +egg people on to create more input modes. + +00:07:22.739 --> 00:07:26.340 +Quail is quite nice. I looked into it, + +00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:28.579 +and there's basically two things: you use + +00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:31.220 +`quail-defined-package` and `quail-define-rules`. + +00:07:32.340 --> 00:07:36.180 +So `quail-define-package` + +00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:39.160 +you can see here is a function. It's + +00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.859 +probably a macro that takes a name, + +00:07:41.859 --> 00:07:43.699 +a language, a title, and some optional + +00:07:43.699 --> 00:07:44.979 +stuff which + +00:07:44.979 --> 00:07:48.419 +I didn't really have to deal with. + +00:07:48.419 --> 00:07:50.379 +Define NAME as a new Quail package for + +00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:52.779 +input LANGUAGE. TITLE is a string to be split + +00:07:52.779 --> 00:07:54.900 +at the mode-line to indicate this package. + +NOTE Lakota input + +00:07:57.420 --> 00:08:01.079 +So I began trying to do Lakota input. Now + +00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.139 +this is a whole thing on its own because + +00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:04.340 +the Lakota language + +00:08:04.340 --> 00:08:07.780 +was never written + +00:08:07.780 --> 00:08:10.900 +pre-contact and post-contact. + +00:08:10.900 --> 00:08:12.979 +Like, there's several attempts at writing + +00:08:12.979 --> 00:08:14.900 +it and different orthographies + +00:08:14.900 --> 00:08:17.460 +and there's drama around all of this stuff. + +00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:21.420 +It's pretty common to have drama going + +00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:24.460 +on in any American Indian stuff + +00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:26.660 +going on. So as I was doing this, I + +00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:28.579 +started with the suggested Lakota + +00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:29.780 +orthography, which + +00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:33.180 +is actually called by its authors the + +00:08:33.180 --> 00:08:35.780 +the Standard Lakota Orthography, but its + +00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:37.259 +authors are + +00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:41.180 +are European. + +00:08:41.180 --> 00:08:43.139 +The main author is a man named Jan + +00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:45.140 +Ullrich, and I appreciate all his work, and + +00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:46.360 +I'm grateful for + +00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.360 +the materials he's made available, but + +00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.140 +it's a little bit problematic because + +00:08:51.140 --> 00:08:54.060 +it's not an orthography created by + +00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:56.820 +our people, by Lakota people. So there's + +00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:58.220 +another one called the White Hat + +00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:00.380 +Orthography, which is created by Albert + +00:09:00.380 --> 00:09:02.139 +White Hat, who's a teacher + +00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:04.580 +from the Sičháŋǧu tribe. So I + +00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:05.460 +created two, + +00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:08.840 +and thankfully Emacs lets me do that, so + +00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:09.721 +it's pretty simple. + +NOTE White Hat orthography + +00:09:09.722 --> 00:09:10.780 +`quail-defined-package`, + +00:09:10.780 --> 00:09:13.579 +I just say the package I want, and then all + +00:09:13.579 --> 00:09:15.460 +these nils and t's for options. I don't + +00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:16.580 +actually know what they mean, but it + +00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.440 +works. + +00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.540 +I could look it up. And then quail-`define-rules` + +00:09:20.540 --> 00:09:22.740 +just defines mappings from ascii + +00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:23.900 +keys to + +00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:25.840 +the text you want to put in. + +00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.780 +So for this one, there's a nasal n, and then + +00:09:29.780 --> 00:09:33.700 +a dot and a macron, like a wedge shape + +00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:36.740 +for marking up the consonants. + +00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:38.954 +So that one's pretty easy. + +NOTE Suggested Lakota Orthography + +00:09:38.955 --> 00:09:39.939 +And then the + +00:09:39.939 --> 00:09:41.860 +suggested Lakota orthography is a little + +00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:43.140 +bit more difficult, + +00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:45.700 +but still pretty easy. I just map a + +00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:46.900 +sequence of keys + +00:09:46.900 --> 00:09:49.860 +`a` followed by the apostrophe makes the + +00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:51.860 +accented vowels, so all of those, + +00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:53.619 +and then again we have the haceks + +00:09:53.619 --> 00:09:55.939 +for the guttural sounds of the language + +00:09:55.939 --> 00:09:58.499 +and the nasal n. So that's it. Basically, + +00:09:58.499 --> 00:09:59.220 +these two + +00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:02.580 +definitions allow me to type + +00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:06.860 +Lakota language in Emacs, + +00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.168 +and it's great. It works. Great. + +NOTE Publishing + +00:10:08.169 --> 00:10:10.020 +Publishing it + +00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:11.860 +is another problematic thing. I wanted to + +00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:13.939 +use free software to do that. + +00:10:13.939 --> 00:10:16.179 +So the first thing I did was I posted + +00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:17.700 +on SourceHut, + +00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:19.540 +which is great. It's a good alternative + +00:10:19.540 --> 00:10:21.059 +for a Git Forge. + +00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:22.980 +And I got it published on Melpa, so the + +00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:24.100 +Lakota input + +00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.960 +package is available if you'd like to + +00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.060 +try it out. + +00:10:28.060 --> 00:10:30.139 +And bandali, one of our hosts for the + +00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:31.780 +conference, is helping me now + +00:10:31.780 --> 00:10:33.300 +through the process of committing the + +00:10:33.300 --> 00:10:35.379 +code to Emacs + +00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:37.220 +because I would like to do that. I would + +00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:39.379 +like it to be available to everyone + +00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.780 +through Emacs itself, so that anyone who + +00:10:41.780 --> 00:10:43.379 +wants to use it just has to download + +00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:44.020 +Emacs, + +00:10:44.020 --> 00:10:46.540 +and there you go, you can type Lakota language. + +00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:50.160 +So. Pilámayaye. Thank you + +00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:53.179 +all for listening, and + +00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:56.020 +I hope to see you around in our Emacs + +00:10:56.020 --> 00:10:58.720 +community. + +00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.020 +Tókša akhé, wačhíŋ kiŋ kte. diff --git a/2020/talks/31.md b/2020/talks/31.md index 4d6b308f..28a785be 100644 --- a/2020/talks/31.md +++ b/2020/talks/31.md @@ -8,20 +8,8 @@ Back to the [[schedule]] Previous: <a href="/2020/talks/30">A tour of vterm</a> Next: <a href="/2020/talks/32">Object Oriented Code in the Gnus Newsreader</a> -[[!template id="help" tags="help_with_main_captions" -summary="main talk does not have captions" -volunteer="" -message="""This talk does not have captions yet.
