How a foreign word with palatals would be "Latinized"? What was the standard Latin transcription for palatals?

For example:
Let's imagine a hypothetical foreign word *s^ara

What would be the Latin form?

1) sara ?
2) siara ?
3) another one?

And a *z^ara ?
1) zara ?
2) ziara ?
3) giara ?
4) iara ?
5) another one?
