Great! How come I didn't think of using voiceless fricative letters for the aspirates? Obviously I'm not as daring a romanizer as I like to think! ;) For one thing I would have mapped |h| and |x| the other way around (in view of Pinyin and Portuguese*), but |h| for a palatal is great -- after all it *is* an upside-down Cyrillic |tS|! :) *) Also in view of <http://ib.frath.net/w/Xrirampur_Romanization> of which I'm originally guilty. -- /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch at melroch dot se Solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant!
