A Note About This HTML Edition [go to top]

In this transcription of The Buddhist Monastic Code (Volume II), the diacritical marks in the Pali passages for recitation and chanting are represented using plain ASCII characters according to the "Velthuis scheme," a convention widely used on the Internet by Pali students and scholars. Long vowels (those usually typeset with a bar above them) are doubled: aa ii uu. For consonants, the diacritic mark precedes the letter it affects. Thus, the retroflex (cerebral) consonants (usually typeset with a dot underneath) are: .r .t .th .d .dh .n .m .s .l . The guttural nasals (m or n with a dot above) are represented by "m and "n . The palatal nasal is represented here as ñ.
