                    1. What are Nordic graphemes?
                     ___________________________
 
 
Nordic  graphemes   can in this    context be described  as "graphical
representations of   the  letters that  exist   in the various  Nordic
alphabets, beyond those that exist in  the English alphabet".  Each of
the Nordic written languages  uses some additional letters compared to
English.  These are, in order of appearance in the alphabets:
 
    Letter:        Languages used:      Pronounced like:
    ____________________________________________________
 
    a acute        is                   'ou' in 'loud'
    eth            is                   'th' in 'there'
    e acute        is (dk, no, se, fi)  'ea' in 'yeah'
    i acute        is                   'e'  in 'he'
    o acute        is                   'o'  in 'home'
    u acute        is                   'ou' in 'you'
    y acute        is                   'e'  in 'he'
    thorn          is                   'th' in 'thumb'
    ae             is                   'i'  in 'hi'
                   dk, no               'a'  in 'bad'
    o-slash        dk, no               'i'  in 'bird'
    a-ring         dk, no, se (fi)      'o'  in 'bored'
    a diaeresis    se, fi               'a'  in 'bad'
    o diaeresis    se, fi, is           'i'  in 'bird'
 
 
A set of parentheses around the country code indicates that the letter
is  rarely  used in   the corresponding  language, typically  only for
loan words or names originating from another language.  Other accents,
such as ^ (circumflex) and  ` (grave)  are now  and  then used in  all
Nordic languages.
 
 
 
      _________________________________________________________
 
     2. How are these represented in Usenet postings and E-mail?
      _________________________________________________________
 
 
The  "mother"  of  all  modern  character sets  for  computers  is the
original   ASCII character set,   now renamed  to  US-ASCII.  (ASCII =
"American Standard Code for Information Interchange).  This is a 7-bit
set containing the characters needed to write American English without
accents or special letters, and little more.  No 'foreign' letters are
included.
 
Various standards exist  for  representing extra characters, some   of
which are: Digraph, LaTeX, ISO-646, ISO-8859-1,  and the IBM codepages
437, 850, and 865.   All of these sets,  except the IBM codepages, are
usually considered acceptable  on soc.culture.nordic,  e-mail, and the
internet in general.
 
Digraphs  are two-character combinations  used for simplicity, and are
often the most    universally  understood  notation   on   s.c.nordic.
However, when using  these to  non-Nordics,  one should  be careful to
explain that these  are digraphs, not  two separate characters.  Also,
some  information may get  lost  by using digraphs,  since a filtering
program will not be  able to determine whether  it is really a digraph
or two separate characters.
 
LaTeX notation  comes from the  typesetting program by  the same name,
where a sequence starting  with '\' may   be substituted with a  given
character.  For instance, the a-ring is written as "\aa" or "{\aa}" in
LaTeX.
 
ISO-646 (really ISO-646-NO and ISO-646-SE)  are 7-bit sets similar  to
US-ASCII, but with  national  characters substituted  in place  of the
following characters: {, |, }, [, \, ].  This is the oldest one of the
'true  representation'  standards  mentioned   here; it  was   used in
e.g.  the Nordic  versions  of  the CP/M   operating system, prior  to
MS-DOS.  Today, it is mostly used in  Sweden and Finland (although the
ordering of   the  letters, for  the  sake   of compability  with  the
Danish/Norwegian/German   equivalents,  are    not correct  in   these
languages).
 
ISO-8859-1, also called  ISO Latin 1,   is the first of  several 8-bit
character  sets described   in International  Standards Organization's
document 8859.   (ISO is the  maintainer  of the meter,  the kilogram,
etc).  This sets  include all characters needed  for all West European
languages,  leave Saami and Esperanto.  ISO-Latin-1  is  a superset of
US-ASCII, hence all ASCII characters  maintain their original position
in  this set.   Rather  than trying to  accomodate positioning  in any
spesific language, the letters in  ISO-8859-1 are ordered according to
the alphabetical position  of their US-ASCII lookalikes.   ISO-Latin-1
is supported through modern standardizations like MIME (RFC 1521).
 
The IBM codepages 437, 850, 861 and 865 are used on Personal Computers
in  "text" mode, and is also  the default  set  on many MS-Windows (R)
communication  programs.   Out of the  Big  Blue, they were created to
provide  text-based  PC  programs with  a   means to  create  low-cost
graphics, and the  addition of  extra  characters came as  a nice side
effect.   (Certain  Nordic  characters  were  not  represented in  the
original codepage  437, with the  consequence that in Iceland, Denmark
and Norway, computers would occasionally be sold with CP 861 or 865 in
the hardware.  Today, alternative  codepages can be downloaded  to the
video  card via software).   The Danish/Norwegian character o-slash is
not represented  in CP 437, and  in 850/861/865 it is  positioned with
the  dangerous code 155 (9B  hex) -- "Upper Escape".  Certain terminal
types will interpret this code  as the initial  character of a  escape
command, and may  e.g. clear the  screen depending on the next letter.
Further, it is   incompatible with   the established 8-bit    standard
ISO-Latin-1, and should be avoided.
 
The various notations of the Nordic graphemes follow:

Also, Einar Inridason's program for displaying the layout of the upper
half of the ISO-Latin-1 and IBM CP 850/861 character sets, including a
DOS   executable,   is    available    from    ftp.connectus.com    as

          3. Pros and cons of the different representations
           _______________________________________________
 
 
If you have  been a reader of  this group for  a  while, you may  have
noticed that  discussion  about characters and   their representations
occasionally accounts for quite a bit of bandwidth.  It often does not
take more   than a question  about the  issue from   a new  reader, or
someone posting an article  with an IBM character  set,  to get  a new
thread going on the issue.  Some want to  keep 7-bit ISO-646 (be aware
that they may  call it "true  ASCII",  although strictly speaking,  is
not), since 7-bit codes will always get  though with any setup; others
want  ISO-Latin-1 since it  is more universal;  and yet others promote
digraphs as the greatest common denominator between the two.
 
Some pros and cons for each set:
 
    Character set:    Advantages:             Disadvantages:
    __________________________________________________________________

                  4. How do I set up support for...
                   _______________________________
 
 
a)  7-bit ISO-646 representation? ({|}, [\])
--------------------------------------------
 
The ISO-646 sets are still supported via varoius fonts and translation
filters.  Possible measures to set up support for them are:
 
  * For the 'terminal' program shipped with Windows 3.x, simply select
    "Denmark/Norway", "Sweden" or "Finland" from the Translations item
    in the "Terminal Preferences" dialogue box.
 
  * For MS-Kermit,  use the command 'set term  charcter-set language',
    where 'language' is one of 'Finnish', 'Swedish', or 'Norwegian'.
 
  * For other DOS and Windows communication  programs, visit its local
    translation tables  and  insert appropriate  translations for '[',
    '\', ']', '{', '|', '}'.
 
  * For Unix based news readers,  either find a  ISO-646 font, or pipe
    your newsreader through one  of  the following commands  (Provided
    the font you use is ISO-8859-1):
 
        Denmark/Norway: tr '\\]{|}' '\330\305\346\370\345'
        Sweden/Finland: tr '\\]{|}' '\326\305\344\366\345'
 
    For instance, in your .cshrc file, insert the following line:
 
        alias rn "rn | tr '\\]{|}' '\330\305\346\370\345'"
 
    The character '[' should not be translated,  because it is used in
    ANSI escape sequences.
 
    Note that if you use this kind of translation,  you will no longer
    see any  of the characters '\]{|}';  in most  cases this outweighs
    the benefits from seeing the national letters.
 
 
 
b)  8-bit ISO-8859-1 representation? (, )
---------------------------------------------------
 
The ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1)  set is currently  the most  common character
representation  standard  on soc.culture.nordic,   and is  also  quite
frequent in e.g. soc.culture.german, personal e-mail etc.  However, on
many systems, the ability to view these characters  is not provided as
'default', so you may need to configure some things on your own.
 
  * If you are  reading news through a  modem, you  need to make  sure
    that  your  modem connection  is  8 data   bits.  (The most common
    parameters are  "8N1" - 8 data bits,  no parity bits, and one stop
    bit).
 
  * For  DOS text mode communication  programs,  you  need a  ISO->IBM
    translation table.   Tables for Telemate,  Telix  and Procomm Plus
    can be found  in the file 'xlate.zip',   available at various  FTP
    sites (e.g. ftp.connectus.com in /Home/tor/s-c-n/).
 
  * For MS Windows  (R) communication  programs,   select an ANSI   or
    ISO-Latin-1 font.   For MS-Kermit, use 'set term char latin'.  For
    Procomm Plus  for Windows,  select  vt220  or vt320 emulation.  Be
    sure that bit 8 is not stripped.
 
  * For  MS   Windows  (R),  you can  also  generate  8-bit characters
    globally by  choosing  "US-International" keyboard layout  via the
    "International" dialogue box in  the Control Panel.  For instance,
    '' (a diaeresis) is  generated by pressing  "a, i.e. double quote
    followed by lowercase a.
 
    Or if you prefer, you can download a utility like DEC's "compose",
    available as  e.g. "ftp.connectus.com:/Home/tor/s-c-n/cmpose.zip".
 
    A note  to  Windows   programmers:  Let the  underlying   keyboard
    drivers,  run-time  libararies etc. take  care  of keyboard input.
    Only be sure that the 8th bit is not stripped/masked away.
 
  * If your newsreader is UNIX-based,  insert the following command in
    your .login or .profile file:
 
        stty -istrip pass8
 
  * If your modem connection  is 7 bits (and   cannot be changed  to 8
    bits), you can have  ISO-Latin-1 characters translated to "[\]{|}"
    before they are sent over the modem.  Pipe your reader through the
    'tr' command, similar to above:
 
        tr '\306\330\305\304\326\346\370\345\344\366' '[\\][\\{|}{|'
 
 
  * If    you  use the  'emacs'  editor,   version  19.x,  and  have a
    ISO-Latin-1 display font, insert the following line in your .emacs
    file:
 
        (standard-display-european t)
 
    Also,  if you have  a keyboard with  international characters that
    you want to be able to use directly,  or if you in another way are
    able to generate 8-bit codes directly from  your  keyboard, insert
    the following line:
 
        (set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
                        (nth 1 (current-input-mode))
                        0)
 
    Note that  in cases  where the Meta key is  represented by setting
    the 8th (high)  bit,  (ie. if you are  not using X-windows),  this
    line will disable  the Meta key,  so you will subsequently have to
    use 'ESC x' to generate 'M-x'.
 
    Otherwise, insert the following line:
 
        (load-library "iso-insert")
 
    A new keymap, 8859-1,  has now been  assigned to the key  sequence
    "C-x 8". You can  assign  this to  another sequence, e.g.  C-t, by
    inserting:
 
        (global-set-key "\C-t" 8859-1-map)
 
    Some strokes from this map:
 
        C-x 8 d   gives  (eth)
        C-x 8 t   gives . (thorn)
        C-x 8 a e gives  (ae)
        C-x 8 / o gives  (o-slash)
        C-x 8 a a gives  (a-ring)
        C-x 8 " a gives  (a diaeresis)
        C-x 8 " o gives  (o diaeresis)
        C-x 8 ' a gives  (a acute)
        C-x 8 ' i gives  (i acute)

Subject:  Appendix B: The Adresses FAQ for s.c.n
    
 
 This part contains various internet and regular mail addresses that
 have to do with the Nordic countries. With the speed that especially
 WWW sites come and go, I don't really have the time/energy/equipment to
 constantly browse the net and maintain a proper list -- by no means is
 this a comprehensive one -- but I'll continue adding all the bits and
 pieces that I see around. Well, enough with disclaimers, take it for what
 it's worth. And please do tell me if you know of any neat things that
 aren't included here, or if some of the information has become outdated.
    
 Unfortunately, much of the material in these URLs is in Nordic languages
 only. Many sites start with the native language and add English versions
 of the documents later (if at all); you'll have to see for yourself what
 the present situation is, and whether you manage to make some sense of the
 material even if English isn't used (with the germanic Scandinavian
 languages this could be possible; Finnish is, of course, more incompre-
 hensible).
 
 Also, with my slow equipment, I haven't yet had the time to check all of
 the sites myself, so there could be some rubbish included.

 Project Runeberg, on an open and voluntary basis, publishes free
 electronic texts in all languages of the Nordic countries (plus Estonian,
 which is related to Finnish).  Active since late 1992, Project Runeberg

 Copenhagen is to be the Cultural Capital of Europe in 1996.  After a slow
 start, the program is beginning to look very nice, so if you're thinking 
 of going to Copenhagen, maybe it's worth looking at the program for Copen-
 hagen 96.
 
 The organizing committee has set up shop on the WWW:

 Check it out, if nothing else it may give you an idea of Copenhagen.

 Announcing kulturCHOCK!, A Swedish-American journal of being neither here
 nor there:
 
        http://www.webcom.com/~eha/kchock.html
 
 This electronic journal contains information of interest to expatriate
 Swedes and Americans, former exchange students, and others fascinated by
 the differences between the U.S. and Sweden.  Its intent is to both inform
 and entertain.
 
 The first issue contains editorials, information on dual citizenship, tips
 on how to find Sweden-related discussion groups on the Internet, methods
 for converting between metric and American measurements, and sports
 commentary on the Bandy World Championships recently held in Minnesota.  
 
 kulturCHOCK! also contains interactive portions, such as an online
 dictionary of Swedish idioms in literal translation.  Readers can add
 their own contributions to this list of commonly-used idioms that sound
 absurd when translated to English.

  jensen@mv.us.adobe.com (Freddy Jensen) runs a Danish mailing-list.
  He writes:
 
   The purpose of the list is, for Danes and other Danish speaking people
   living abroad,  to maintain and cultivate  our Danish cultural  and
   professional interests.  All communication takes place mostly in Danish.
   There is at the moment more than 500 members on the list, and we are
   spread out all over the world.  Most of us, though, are living here in
   the United States  but we also have members in Scotland, England, Canada,
   France, Australia, Japan, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland,
   Hungary, Italy, Belgium, and Denmark.
 
   The list is mostly of interest for Danes who are living abroad, but
   anyone is of course welcome to be on the list. 
 
  If you have questions about the list or want to be added to it, send
  mail to Freddy or dansk-request@sysadmin.com

 NORWAVES AND NORWEAVE:
 
 NORWAVES distributes weekly news about NORWAY in English.  The service
 was established in March 1993 by four students at the NKI College 
 of Computer Science; Andre Kristiansen, Jan Erik Hermansen, Rune 
 Oestebroed, and Per Staale Straumsheim. The news comes from various 
 Norwegian press sources.
 
 NORWEAVE was established in September 1993 as a supplementary service 
 to NORWAVES. The purpose of NORWEAVE is to weave a network of people 
 in Norway and abroad who can help each other exchange information and 
 establish contacts across geographical boundaries. It is hoped that 
 NORWEAVE can help to establish contacts that will be of mutual benefit 
 to Norwegians and friends of Norway around the globe.  The list was 
 initiated by Morten Flate Paulsen

MUD:
---- 
 
 SvenskMUD is a mud where the language used for texts and commands is
 swedish. The mud's setting is in the swedish culture and you can
 encounter things like rumpnissar, g{rdar och grustag.
 
 You can enter Svenskmud if you connect to:
 
        svenskmud.mud.lysator.liu.se port 2046 (for iso-8859 chars) or
        svenskmud.mud.lysator.liu.se port 2043 (for iso-646 chars).
 
 Login as 'g{st'.
 
 Or you can read about it (in swedish) if you www to:
 http://www.lysator.liu.se:7500/mud/svmud/svenskmud.html
 from where you can also enter the game.
 
 Notice:
 
 * If you don't know swedish, don't expect to be able to do anything at all.
 
 * If you want to learn Swedish, this is probably *NOT* a good place
   to start. As with the English-language MUDs, the language used in the 
   MUD is in some respects simpler, and in some respects more complicated
   than the language people normally use.
