Discussion on Collation of Tibetan Syllable

Based on the general syllable structure, a syllable´s component letters should be expanded orderly into the series of basic consonant, prefix consonant, head consonant... and the second suffix consonant. If there is no letter in a syllable´s particular position, a special character, whose collation element is less than that of any Tibetan letter, should be used in the corresponding position of the expanded series. Thus, we have a character series that is canonically equivalent to the Tibetan syllable. Furthermore, a syllable´s collation element series could be developed by introducing each character´s collation element and each syllable could be collated correctly with its collation element series. However, for the sake of memory saving, a syllable´s collation element series is compressed with the Run-Length algorithm and the final compression ratio reaches 4:1.
