The one I've personally like the most is using <#>, I've found it more
readable than any other, but ther alternatives I've seen: upercase <N> (l=
ike
uppercase vowels for explicit stress (acute)), the diagraphs above: <nn>,
<ny>, <gn>, <ni> the tilde alone <~>, the <#>, and the diacritic conventi=
on:
<n~> or <~n>.  ... well, and the <n> alone, also.

Well.  I prefere <#>, nut it's just taste.

Making this a little conlang related, anybody has had similar problems wi=
th
their romanizations?  I guess that's why Chleweyish is plain ASCII-7 plus
some acuted vowels for irregular stress.
