A Note About This HTML Edition [go to top]

In this transcription of A Chanting Guide, Pali diacritical marks are represented using plain ASCII characters according to the "Velthuis scheme," a convention widely used on the Internet by Pali students and scholars. Long vowels (those usually typeset with a bar above them) are doubled: aa ii uu. For consonants, the diacritic mark precedes the letter it affects. Thus, the retroflex (cerebral) consonants (usually typeset with a dot underneath) are: .r .t .th .d .dh .n .m .s .l . The guttural nasals (m or n with a dot above) are represented by "m and "n . The palatal nasal is represented here as ñ.
