Pali alphabets (table)

Even if you have no intention of learning Sinhalese, Burmese, or Khmer
script, this is a pretty neat one-page reference file I've made up for
purposes of edification & amusement:

http://pratyeka.org/narada/pali_alphabets.pdf

It presents about six Pali alphabets in a neat table, with some notes on
Unicode romanization.

The table on the left explains "my" system of Romanization (used to encode
the new version of Narada's textbook, etc.) --generally approximating to
Buddhadatta's orthography (but *not* to the PTS!) except that (1) it uses
proper Unicode, and (2) a new glyph is used for the velar 'n --one that is
more phonetically correct, and graphically reflects its close relationship
to the niggahita.

This file is a recent addition below the new version of Narada's textbook. 
Just a note to Nyanatusita: I will be adding the glossary & answer key (as
mentioned) to the same page in future months, and (eventually) a new version
of the main file --as I correct a new error every other day.  Thus, I don't
know if you want to wait to put the finished "set" of files on www.Metta.LK
  --or, perhaps, metta should just provide a link to the website
(pratyeka.org/narada) instead of re-posting the file (i.e., so that I can
update the files on offer without pestering Metta.LK to keep up to date).

E.M.

He who realizes here in this world the destruction of his sorrow, who has
laid the burden aside and is emancipated, - him I call a Brahmana.
