TRANSLITERATION
 
If your font does not have diacritics, the following
conventions should be used:
 
--Sanskrit and Pali
     1) Long vowels are doubled
     2) Consonantal diacritics precede the consonants marked by
        them, thus retroflex consonants are written as .r .t .th
        .d .dh .n .m .s
     3) Visarga is written as .h
     4) The palatals that take diacritics are ~n and "s
     5) The guttural nasal is written "n
     6) DA.N.DA is written |
 
--The Wylie system of Tibetan transliteration requires no diacritical
marks.
 
--Chinese can be romanized by either the pinyin or Wade-Giles system,
of course indicating which has been utilized.
 
--Japanese requires only doubled vowels for romanization, which can be
treated as indicated above for Sanskrit.
