Well, as I've said before, for grammatical reasons, a more phonemic
script would be more complex, but I s'pose I could have two
transliteration schemes.  I've discovered two alternates, listed here,
with the Standard and pronunciation, in the format Scheme A, Scheme B
(Standard, /pronunciation/)

P, P (p, /p/)
T, T (t, /t/)
C, Tx (ty, /tS/)
K, K (k, /k/)
Ch/=C7, C (ky, /C/ - palatal fricative) - =C7 =3D c-cedilla
B, B (b, /b/)
D, D (d, /d/)
J, Dj (dty/dzy, /dZ/)
G, G (g, /g/)
Jh, Jh (gky, /J/ - palatal fricative)
M, M (m, /m/)
N, N (n, /n/)
F, F (f, /f/)
S, S (s, /s/)
Sh/=8A, X (sy, /S/), =8A =3D S-hacek
V, V (v, /v/)
Z, Z (z, /z/)
Zh/Z^, J (zy, /Z/); Z^ =3D Z-hacek
W, W (w, /w/)
L, L (l, /l/)
Y, Y (y, /j/)

When I give morphemic breakdowns, I'll still use the standard
transliteration, since many of these alternates, like <c> would contain
both a prefix (t) and the first letter of the root (y).  But, when I
give words otherwise, I'll use the first alternate, with the -h forms
(ch instead of =E7)

Vowels are unchanged; however, as a reminder, they do have allophones
[e] and [o] for /i/ and /u/, also /a/ has allophones [A], [a], and [6]
