Wiktionary:Sanskrit transliteration

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

These are the rules concerning transliteration in Sanskrit entries.

Transliteration

[edit]

Wiktionary uses two transliteration systems for Devanāgarī.

  • In the mainspace, only IAST is used.
  • In some modules, SLP1 is used for convenience of encoding because of its one-to-one encoding with Devanāgarī.

See WT:About Sanskrit.
