Wp/arn/Appendix:conversion

I thought we could use this page to create accurate conversion details for the script. We can use the discussion page if there are different ideas.

I am using this information to create the first draft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapudungun_phonology

Milos suggestion

• All ragielo and azumchefi "t" will be translated as "t" in other

orthographies.

• All ragielo "s" will be translated as "s" in other orthographies.
• All nhewenh "sh" will be translated as "s" in other orthographies.

Lin Linao comment

(Nhewenh 'sh' can be a sh in Unified).

Letter by letter

• Raguileo t can be either t or ṯ in Unified alphabet and either t or td in Nhewenh. Maybe the letter t should be transcribed to t? in Unified alphabet and Nhewenh so that other users can then later correct them. And use the same system for the other similar situations.
