To resume : 









The scheme here submitted provides for the represen- 

 tation of every oriental letter employed in India by a single 

 Roman letter, and where required, by the addition of a single 

 diacritical sign, except in five instances, in which double con- 

 sonants are introduced. 



The diacritical signs are : 



1. The acute accent over all long vowels. 



2. The soft breathing or apostrophe ' with h for the 

 aspirated consonants. 



3. A point below the letter for the class of letters term- 

 ed cerebral consonants. 



4. An accent above the letter for those styled palatals. 

 The acute accent having been appropriated to the vowels, the 

 grave accent may be substituted for the palatals to prevent 

 confusion. 



5. A point above the line for anomalous sounds except 

 in the case of the nasal n for which we have borrowed the 

 familiar Spanish n
