Dear Angelo and Dimitry,
as far as I understand, Pali was or is transcribed with an indian old script called Devanagri, which I don't know whether it still avaliable or not, but nowadays Pali is transcribed in the language of each country, for example, with Thai alphabets in Thiland (formerly the Thais had to learn the old Khmer script for Pali), Sinhalese in Sri Lanka, Burmese in Myanmar , and romanized for the Westerners.
In CD in Thailand we have 2 versions, ie. Thai and romanized( with the same pronunciation, i can understand both versions), with a Thai translation.
Reagards,
Ven. Prapakdi

At Sri Lanka Sinhalese script is used.
The easiest way to read Tipitaka in Sinhalese script is to obtain
Chattha Sangayana CD http://www.vri.dhamma.org/publications/cdorder.html
This is a "Sinhalese transliteration" of Tipitaka.

Many suttas are available in Sinhalese script at
