There is an established protocol for the transliteration of Sanskrit into English, as demonstrated in the image below. However, within Blogger, there are limitations. It is necessary therefore to approximate pronunciation and emphasis in a slightly different manner when typing the anglicised words.
As a general rule on this blog the following will apply;
aa = as in car
ii = as in feet
uu = as in pool
H = the aspiration known as visarga (:)
Exceptions will be where the natural English flow of pronunciation will satisfy.
The differences between the variations on 'd's, 't's, n's, 's's are more difficult and for the purposes of this blog no attempt will be made to note them differently. For those who wish to grasp the differences, observation of the devanagri typography and then matching to the following chart is your extra challenge (&*>)
