Dear Jorgebab,
I loathe to disagree with you. You are almost always right. Even so ->
I remain surprised at your assertion that "in devnagri script there is only one letter for the sounds "j" and "z".
In the devanagri I was taught, there were (& remain) three alphabets with very close sounds: One
each for "j" as in Jose or Joao & "z" as in Zuari or Zatra, and a third - a zha as in Zhantiye.
Furthermore: If (say) my name is Jose, what gives ANYONE the right to revise it and make it Zuze - that too when writing it in the Romi script.
This is almost akin to the Chowgules conveniently revising their own names to Chougulo - to please the Portuguez!.....and writing it as Chougulo when writing in the Marathi press!
jose
please see: http://www.geonames.de/alphce.html
Please read under - Devanagari alphabet -
ja, jha (should be zha), za(zz) ( a soft sound written with a dot under)
