In the case of Okaikiar, I'm not consistent. It has [t] and [d] in allophonic variation, likewise [s] and [z], but there's no [g], only [k]. I suspect this is massively unrealistic. The variation is reflected in my Roman transcription. I write "Dankar" and "T'sor" rather than "Tankar" and "D'zor" or any of the other two possibilities for the latter, even though the native script doesn't distinguish. In that sense my Romanization is similar to the transcription system for Japanese that uses phonetic |chi| rather than phonemic |ti| for the syllable ち. - Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
