The writing systems that are represented on this website in LOTR translations that are typically written vertically (Traditional Chinese, Japanese) both have horizontal variants that can be found.  Mongolian Bichig, however, is always written vertically and does not have a horizontal option.  However, Unicode has coded Bichig horizontally with the assumption that a text written horizontally would then be rotated 90 degrees clockwise in the final document.  This, however, makes usage on the internet complicated for websites such as this one, where the banner text and page names for navigation must be horizontal.  It also means that on-line translators and bibliographical archiving programs must use the horizontal orientation.  Here you will see the horizontal orientation in the banner and in the bibliographical citations.

To the right you'll see (from left to right) the title for LOTR as a whole that I am using here and the titles for FR, TT, RK, and Hobbit as printed on the covers.  Because Bichig is rarely found in Western Europe and the US, it is not supported by Google Translate or other X to English on-line translators that can be used with a phone.  That limits my ability to find some pieces of information that I use in this website, such as the actual name of the LOTR trilogy as a whole and transliterations of the titles.  To remedy this, I have used a literal transliteration of the Cyrillic name as the name of this page.
