TheGalik script (Standard Tibetan:ཨ་ལི་ཀ་ལི།code: bod promoted to code: bo,a li ka li,Manchu:ᠠᠯᠢ ᡬᠠᠯᠢ,Ali Kali,Mongolian:Али-гали үсэг,Ali-gali üseg) is an extension to theManchu script and traditionalMongolian script. It was created in 1587 by the translator and scholarAyuush Güüsh (Mongolian:Аюуш гүүш), inspired by the thirdDalai Lama,Sonam Gyatso. He added extra characters fortranscribingTibetan andSanskrit terms when translating religious texts, and later also fromChinese. Some of those characters are still in use today for writing foreign names.[1]
Some authors (particularly historic ones likeIsaac Taylor in hisThe Alphabet: an account of the origin and development of letters, 1883) don't distinguish between the Galik and standard Mongolian alphabets.
