Devanagari Transliteration

Question

{\dn m\?r\? mAtA aOr EptA ko smEp\0t.

The above code is working fine in my system well. But I don't know all the devanagari Transliteration. May I get the complete list of all devanagari Transliteration to write all the possible conjunction, alphabet, punctuation marks etc. I seen in many devanagari Transliteration format but none of them are working in my system. So can anyone suggest me the exact Transliteration for devanagari?

Answer 1

See the linked questions in the comments.

The exact transliteration scheme will depend on the package(s)/code being used.

For Velthuis transliteration and IAST transliteration etc under devanagari package, you may possibly look for the .map files on your system, and see the Unicode values, to-and-from (<>) - although that will be time-consuming to trace, glyph by glyph, codepoint by codepoint.

In the meantime, you can do your own transliteration method using expl3 replace function, if you have the fonts to display the deva (like Shobika, Noto Serif Devanagari, Nirmala UI, etc), and if you can run fontspec package to handle the fonts (run in xelatex; or in lualatex with Renderer=HarfBuzz font option).

Example: a \devats{} can be defined:

The core command is:

\tl_replace_all:Nnn \l_myts_tl   { #1 }   { #2}

"replace_command token_list_variable {from_string} {to_string}"

You can change the transliteration scheme to use different names/characters in the "from_string" part, if you want (e.g., typing anu instead of anudatta), but remember the general rule when doing replace: that longest strings must be replaced before shorter ones. See the MWE.
