Talk:Soyombo script

Swayyambu
The word Swayyambu is used in several of South Asian Languages, including Hindi and Gujarati. The word Soyombo may be based on same word from Nepali. Chirag 21:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I found conflicting information about its origin, Nepali was just the reference that appeared most often. If there should be any tibetan or sanskrit connections, then that might actually be more likely candidates. --Latebird 23:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I found a source referring to the word as Sanskrit, with a spelling of Svayambhu. I guess it's safe to assume this as the real (or at least most relevant) origin of the name then. --Latebird 10:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

New National Symbols
The Soyombo is being replaced as a national symbol of Mongolia. The national anthem is also being changed, and proposals for a new anthem have been submitted. Once the change is complete, I will add the information with citation. This is NOT 'speculation'. -- Ionius Mundus 03:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC) See http://www.mongolia-web.com/content/view/276/2/, which explains:

"Mongolia's Anthem and State Symbol Changes Written by Ulaanbaatar correspondent    Friday, 10 March 2006  Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/. According to decree by the President, national anthem and state symbol of Mongolia will be changed. Deputy Parliament Speaker Mr. D.Lundeejanstan heads a working group to amend the anthem and symbol. The working group comprises of two sections. Parliament member, Chief of the Cabinet Secretariat Mr. S.Batbold leads the one section to amend the national anthem, and Chief of the Presidential Office MR. T.Bilegt - the section to amend state symbol. Famous scholars, art and culture figures joined the working group and they will submit their new versions of anthem and symbol to the President within May 15, 2006."

The Mongolian Constitution identifies the Soyombo as a state symbol, so I would assume that it is going to be replaced. Other sources specifically mention the Soyombo. The website www.nationalanthems.us states that the conversion process is still moving along as planned. As sad as I am to see the Soyombo replaced, these sources seem to give more than mere speculation. -- Ionius Mundus 03:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Such a change would require a 2/3 majority in a parliamentary vote. Just because the president wants a change doesn't mean it will actually happen. We are trying to collect etablished knowledge here, not to speculate about possible future events. Let's return to this topic once it has become a fact. Right now, its only purpose seems to be to distract from the real problems of the country, invented by a politician who worries about his (lack of) popularity. --Latebird 07:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I will return to the subject once the change is officially complete. -- Ionius Mundus 16:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Transliteration
Sorry I just had to revert another of your changes. Wikipedia normally doesn't use scientific transliteration in articles (except for linguistic topics). Unfortunately, there is no official naming convention for Mongolian names at the moment. You can help establish one by partcipating in this discussion. --Latebird 07:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for notifying me. -- Ionius Mundus 16:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Split
Might be better to seprate out the symbol and the script into two separate articles... AnonMoos (talk) 18:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
