Re: CHAT: New to list

I'm not sure if introductions are traditional here, but I'll take my
chances.

I've been interested in languages for as long as I can remember, and tried
to create one when I was 11, before I had even heard of conlang or even
Lord of the Rings (which, to this day, I have never been able to read, but
I speak some Quenya and Sindarin anyway. *shrugs*). The "language" I made
wasn't really a language at all, just a collection of Spanish, Kemetic and
Hawaiian words used as a code for English.
In the few years since then I've gotten even deeper into languages, and
recently (read: about six months ago) discovered that not only do a LOT of
other people make languages, but there're names for the different types and
communities of people who do this.
Naturally, I was (and am) ecstatic to find other people with the same
interests -- I've been boring my friends and family, trying to teach them
Meistei and Pr'ii.
My particular areas of interest are creating the words themselves, followed
by scripts, followed by grammar and pronunciation (tie).
My languages are Meisteik, Kaveril, Pr'ii, Ysvanidh, Orantith, Intorith,
Kazle, and a few other larval langs.

Now that I've gotten the "recap-my-history" thing done, I have a few
questions: Does anyone know any sites that have Japanese, Chinese (any
form), or Korean wordlists/dictionaries that have been transliterated into
English?
And, does anyone know a good, free online guide to learning any Devangari-
based scripts? (Bengali is best, but it doesn't matter much)
AND, where can I find the IPA phonetic alphabet, as applicable to ASCII?

Thanks for any help (and I hope I'm not too hard to understand -- I'm
suffering from a Dr. Pepper overdose),
