Editing Gujarati script (section)

==Romanization==
Gujarati is [[Romanization|romanized]] throughout [[Wikipedia]] in "standard [[oriental studies|orientalist]]" '''[[Transcription (linguistics)|transcription]]''' as outlined in {{Harvcoltxt|Masica|1991|p=xv}}. Being "primarily a system of '''''[[transliteration]]''''' from the Indian scripts, [and] based in turn upon [[Sanskrit]]" (cf. [[IAST]]), these are its salient features: [[Underdot|subscript dots]] for [[retroflex consonant]]s; [[Macron (diacritic)|macron]]s for etymologically, contrastively [[long vowel]]s; ''h'' denoting [[Aspiration (phonetics)|aspirated]] [[Stop consonant|stop]]s. [[Tilde]]s denote [[nasalized vowel]]s and [[Underline|underlining]] denotes [[Breathy voice|murmured]] vowels.

[[Vowel]]s and [[consonant]]s are outlined in the tables below. Hovering the mouse cursor over them will reveal the appropriate [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] symbol. Finally, there are three Wikipedia-specific additions:  ''f'' is used interchangeably with ''ph'', representing the widespread realization of {{IPA|/pʰ/}} as {{IPA|[f]}};  ''â'' and ''ô'' for novel characters ઍ {{IPA|[æ]}} and ઑ {{IPA|[ɔ]}};  ''ǎ'' for {{IPA|[ə]}}'s where [[elision]] is uncertain. See [[Gujarati phonology]] for further clarification.
