VPMC transliteration system for Uyghur-Mongolian script
URL
Description
The only system for the Mongolian vertical script which is used commonly throughout
Mongolian studies worldwide is the Vladimirtsov-Mostaert system (V-M). The only
dictionary using this system is in an appendix to Antoine Mostaert’s Dictionnaire
ordos. Thus the Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies specifies, “please use the written
Mongolian appendix to Antoine Mostaert’s Dictionnaire ordos. However, the V-M system
has many difficult diacriticals and non-Latin characters that constitute a significant
problem for editors and thus is difficult to recommend.
