Transliteration

Readable Latin letters with dots and macrons (ṭ, ḍ, ā, ś…), similar to IAST, so spellings match common dictionaries and the Sinhala script article.

IPA (simplified)

Broad values per letter: no tie bars (e.g. tʃ not t͡ʃ), miśra aspirates often match śuddha in modern Sinhala, and niggahīta is shown as ŋ. This is a learning aid, not a narrow phonetic transcript.
