IAST
维基百科,自由的百科全书
IAST是國際梵語轉寫字母的英語名稱(International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration)的縮寫,是學術上對於梵語轉寫的標準,而隨着Unicode字型的普及,亦變成了一般出版界,如書籍及雜誌的非業界標準,它在電子文本的使用亦因此而相應地增加。這項標準是於1912年在雅典舉行的東方學會議裡訂立的。
IAST是一種可以讓梵語及其他婆羅謎語系語言達至無損失的轉寫,例如:克什米爾語的傳統文字沙拉達文(Śāradā), and as such represents not only the phonemes of Sanskrit, but allows essentially phonetic transcription (e.g. Visarga ḥ is an allophone of word-final r and s).
The National Library at Kolkata romanization, intended for the romanization of all Indic scripts, is an extension of IAST.

Note: Unlike ASCII only romanizations such as ITRANS or Harvard-Kyoto, the diacritics used for IAST allow capitalization of proper names. The capital variants of letters never occurring word-initially (IAST:Ṇ Ṅ Ñ Ṝ) are only useful in Pāṇini contexts, where the convention is to typeset the IT sounds as capital letters (see Aṣṭādhyāyī).
