Galik alphabet
It was created in 1587 by the translator and scholar Ayuush Güüsh (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.[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.Additional notes on the affected characters and their desired components are provided in the tables further down.For relevant terminology, see Mongolian script § Components.
