Latin script form of unknown


Pali alternate script template. The first parameter is the script code (or the first letter of the script code, except for Brahmi, which clashes with Bengali, and Lao, which clashes with Lanna for Tai Tham) and the second parameter is the Latin form. Additionally, the script code Laoo may be abbreviated to Lao.

Each of the two parameters may be omitted, in which case the omitted script code will be deduced from the page name, and the Latin form will be the automatic transliteration of the page name. Note if the script form is ambiguous, the transliteration may not be the same as the Latin form. Examples of such uncooperative words are สุตวา (sutvā or sutavā), ທັມມະ (damma or dhamma), သံဃ (saṃgha ⇨ saṅgha) and ᨾᩘᩈ (maṅsa ⇨ maṃsa).
