Wiktionary:Marathi transliteration

Anusvara
editThe nasal diacritic ं (ṁ) (अनुस्वार, anusvar) is "transliterated" according to its context in a word. Basically, the consonant (or lack thereof) immediately following the nasal vowel determines exactly how the transliteration will occur.
- If a consonant follows the nasalised vowel, the transliteration of the consonant's corresponding nasal consonant follows.
- Gutturals (क, ख, ग, घ, ह) will use ṅ (for ङ)
- Dentals (त, थ, द, ध, ल, स) will use n (for न)
- Labials (प, फ, ब, भ, व) will use m (for म), etc.
Other
editThe conjunct ज्ञ, which is a combination of ज and ञ and transliterated as ⟨jñ⟩, while pronounced /ɟɲ/ in Sanskrit is often pronounced /d͡ʑn/ in Marathi.
Visarga symbol ः is transliterated as ⟨ḥ⟩, e.g. स्वतः (svataḥ).
