Phonological transcriptions should be treated as a guide, only. They are taken from the sources consulted, and may be narrow or broad, phonemic or phonetic, depending on what is available. They mostly represent pronunciation of words in isolation. For more detailed information about allophones, alternations, sandhi, dialectal differences, and so on, follow the links to cited references.

This is an interactive document. Click/tap on coloured examples to reveal detailed compositional information. If your browser supports it, your cursor will change to look like as you hover over these items.

More about using this page

Character names. The names of characters in codepoint markup drop the initial HANIFI ROHINGYA label (purely to reduce the length of the examples). In other places the full name can be found.

Fonts. The large character in the box will not be rendered unless the webfont downloaded with the page or a system font has a glyph for it. If there is no glyph and you want to see what it looks like, click on the Toggle images icon to toggle the large characters between font glyphs and graphics.

Navigation. The Toggle images icon takes you to the top of the page.

Transcriptions & transliterations. Phonological transcriptions are surrounded by ⌈corner brackets⌋, to indicate that they vary between narrow, [phonetic] and broad, /phonemic/ transcriptions.
Latin transcriptions between <angle brackets>, represent the letters as commonly written in the Latin script.
A transliteration has also been developed especially for this orthography, and is generally based on the sound of a letter where possible, but where a letter has multiple pronunciations, the transliteration represents only one.
Transliterations provide perfect round-trip conversion between the native script and Latin, whereas Latin transcriptions rarely do.
When you click on an example to see its composition, the top of the panel that opens contains a transliteration, followed by the native text, then (if available) an IPA transcription.

ɔ when used without a following vowel, eg. 𐴁𐴡𐴀𐴌 𐴉𐴝𐴃𐴝 boɔɾ fata coriander

otherwise, as a vowel-carrier. No vowel letter other than this one can stand alone: it must either follow a consonant or follow this letter in its carrier function, eg. 𐴀𐴝𐴣𐴍𐴥𐴝𐴓𐴞 ãɽali tick 𐴀𐴦𐴟𐴘 uj termite 𐴅𐴝𐴕𐴟𐴀𐴝𐴌𐴞 ɟanuaɾi January
