Devanagari Transliteration Resources

It's been over 10 years since I started my Devanagari tutorial. Every so often I get a note of thanks, along with encouragement to complete the tutorial to include the entire Devanagari alphabet. I've slowly started gathering the resources to do so, including coming back up to speed in the Hindi script and getting up to date on the latest standards in Devanagari transliteration.

When I started the tutorial, Unicode was a sparsely-supported dream, and Devanagari transliteration techniques were varied. To my delight, today I discovered that there is now an international standard, ISO 15919, that covers transliteration of Devanagari using Latin characters! Resources I'll be using for transliterating Devanagari include:

• ISO 15919: Transliteration of Devanagari and Related Indic scripts into Latin characters
• How to use ISO 15919, including the mapping of ISO 15919 to Unicode.
• Modern Trascription of Sanskrit, including mapping to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
