;;; Commentary:
;; This file implements input methods for Northern Iroquoian languages.
;; Input methods are implemented for all Five Nations Iroquois
;; languages:
;; - Mohawk (Kanien’kéha / Onkwehonwehnéha)
;; - Oneida (Onʌyota:ká: / Ukwehuwehnéha)
;; - Onondaga (Onųdaʔgegáʔ)
;; - Cayuga (Gayogo̱ho:nǫhnéha:ˀ)
;; - Seneca (Onödowá’ga:’)
;; A composite input method for all of the languages above is also
;; defined: `haudenosaunee-postfix'.
;; Input methods are not yet implemented for the remaining Northern
;; Iroquoian languages, including:
;; - Tuscarora (Skarù:ręʔ)
;; - Wendat (Huron) / Wyandot
;;; Code:
(require 'quail)
(require 'seq)

;;; Mohawk
;;
;; There are several orthographies used today to write Mohawk in
;; different communities, but differences are small and mainly involve
;; differences in representation of the palatal glide [j] (written <i>
;; in Eastern/Central dialects and <y> in Western dialects). The
;; following input method should work for all of variants.

;;; Onondaga
;;
;; There are three main orthographies for Onondaga in contemporary use:
;; the community orthography used at Six Nations of the Grand River, the
;; community orthography used at Onondaga Nation in New York, and the
;; orthography used by Hanni Woodbury in her 2003 dictionary (see
;; below). The latter is included because of its adoption in academia
;; and also by some contemporary second-language learners.
;; Additionally, Woodbury's dictionary provides a helpful description of
;; the community orthographies that is still applicable today.
;;
;; The differences between the orthographies are small, involving
;; representation of nasal vowels (ęand ǫat Six Nations of the Grand
;; River, eñ and oñ at Onondaga in New York, and ęand ųfollowing
;; Woodbury's dictionary), the low front rounded vowel (äat Six Nations
;; and Onondaga Nation and æ following Woodbury), vowel length (:
;; [colon] after a vowel in community orthographies and · [middle dot]
;; following Woodbury), and glottal stops (’ [right single quotation
;; mark] in community orthographies and ʔ [latin letter glottal stop]
;; following Woodbury). The input method here aims to accommodate all
;; three of these orthographies.

;;; Seneca
;;
;; The orthography for the Seneca language is fairly stable with only
;; minor variations, for example, <sy> vs. <š> (currently preferred in
;; community orthography) for the voiceless postalveolar fricative.
;;
;; In the common community orthography, I'm told that acute and grave
;; accents occur rarely and only on nasal vowels (personal
;; communication). However, in works by Wallace Chafe, stress is
;; indicated on non-nasal vowels, as well. The maximal set of letters
;; with accent diacritics is included for the input method, even though

;;; Haudenosaunee (composite Northern Iroquoian)
;;
;; This input method represents a composite input method for all of the
;; Northern Iroquoian languages included above.
;;
;; Although the "Iroquoian languages" is a standard term employed by
;; linguists and scholars, some believe the term "Iroquois" to be of
;; derogatory origin (see Dyck 2024). Hence, some prefer to refer to
;; what are collectively termed by linguists the "Five Nations Iroquois"
;; languages (Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca) by the autonym
;; "Haudenosaunee" (e.g., "Haudenosaunee languages").
;;
;; However, it should be noted that the term "Haudenosaunee" is itself
;; an Anglicized form, probably from Seneca Hodínöhsö:ni:h 'they make
;; houses' or Hodínöhšo:ni:h 'People of the Long House'. Speakers of
;; Cayuga may prefer the word Hodinǫhsǫ:nih, and speakers of Mohawk may
;; prefer Rotinonhsón:ni or Rotinonhsíón:ni. These terms themselves
;; collectively relate to the confederacy of Indigenous nations that has
;; existed in what is now known as New York State in Northeastern North
;; America for many centuries, the founding of which is retold in oral
;; tradition in the story of The Peacemaker.
;;
;; It should also be noted that while Tuscarora and Wendat languages are
;; both sometimes included under the "Haudenosaunee languages" umbrella
;; (and by implication, those groups as a part of the Haudenosaunee
;; Confederacy), the exact extent of what defines "Haudenosaunee" has
;; occasionally caused controversy.
;;
;; Additionally, some prefer to collectively refer to the "Haudenosaunee
;; languages" using the terms Onkwehonwehnéha (Mohawk), Ukwehuwehnéha
;; (Oneida), Ǫgwehǫwekhá’ (Onondaga), Ǫgwehǫwéhneha:ˀ (Cayuga), and
;; Ögwé’öwe:ka:’ (Seneca), which all mean 'in the manner of the Original
;; People'.
;;
;; Bearing all of this in mind, I have opted to retain the term
;; "Iroquoian" in the name of this file (`iroquoian.el') (and hence, in
;; the symbol names in its namespace), while using "Haudenosaunee" in
;; the name of the input method that encompasses all of the languages so
;; far implemented: "haudenosaunee-postfix" --- this is the name shown
;; as a completion candidate after users enter M-x set-input-method RET.
;; Note that those searching for input methods for the individual
;; languages should have no problem finding them knowing only their
;; Anglicized names (e.g., Mohawk, Oneida, etc.), as these have been
;; retained in the names of the corresponding input methods.
;;
;; Above all, I hope that these decisions help those who wish to speak,
;; read, and write Onkwehonwehnéha.
;;
;; Iorihowá:nen ne aiónhnheke’ ne raotiwén:na’!
;; It is important that the language continues to live!

Devoicing:
| Key | Description | Examples |
|-----+------------------------+------------------------------|
| _ | Combining low line | a_ -> a̲, · -> ·̲ |
| - | Combining macron below | a- -> a̱(after vowels only) |
Note: Not all fonts can properly display a combining low line on all
letters and a combining macron below on all vowels.
Underlining is commonly used in Oneida to indicate devoiced syllables on
pre-pausal forms (also called utterance-final forms). Alternatively,
markup or other methods can be used to create an underlining effect.
To enter a plain underscore, the underscore twice.
Macron below is commonly used in Cayuga to indicate devoiced vowels.
To enter a plain hyphen after a vowel, simply type the hyphen twice.
There are individual input methods for each of the languages that can be
entered with this input method: `mohawk-postfix', `oneida-postfix',
`onondaga-postfix', `cayuga-postfix', `seneca-postfix'."
