May I humbly suggest some modifications of the Romanization.
If /th/ actually occurs it is darn inconvenient to use _th_
for /T/, not to speak of using a hyphen where there is no
morpheme boundary! So while staying within Latin-1 you may
use:
t_? t`
T þ
D ð
s_? s`
S ç
x x
G c
X\ h`
?\ j
? '
You'll have to use French quotes, but more power to French quotes!
Also if you don't have any geminates you may use _tt ss hh_ for
the geminates.
Lastly, if [e] and [o] are allophonic you may discard them,
using _e_ for the svarabhakti and _o_ for /a:/!
