Sanskrit uses 'M' for 'ं' (Anusvara), since you have not yet taken 'M' you may follow same. If its pronunciation closely matches with 'ng', I suggest 'nG'. Anyway avoid '&'. > > Other languages, including Malayalam and Sanskrit use '_' for ZWNJ.

Sometimes within transliteration we will force for a ligature formation to support a common usage. When we want to break it, even without introducing ZWNJ in text, we can use '_', because of its visual 'look' that being part of a word that keeps two characters away from touching. We are using ZWNJ for same purpose technically for different situation(s). So '_' can be used for two mutually exclusive conditions. I can't show such a situation in Assamese as I don't know it. To clarify I show an example in Malayalam: In Malayalam transliteration, typing 'n' will produce 'ൻ' and typing 'ma' will produce 'മ'. If we type them together 'nma' we expect 'ന്മ', not 'ൻമ', since, when we put 'ൻ' and 'മ' together they will not form a ligature, but here we are forcing for their ligature. To get 'ൻമ' we will type 'n_ma'. Hope it gives some hint. > > Also it is advised to change 't~' = 'ৎ' and '^' = 'ঁ'.

OK, we can keep 't~'. (In reply to comment #8) > does 'ঁ' = 'N~' work? Yes, we can. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
