Transliteration Scheme - Urdu in English script

Basic Rules

Successive vowel sounds are separated by an underscore ('_'). Example: ko_ii (someone)
Compound words are written with an underscore ('_') for clarity. Example: baa_izzat (with respect) and ham_safar
Where there is no possibility of confusion, the underscore may or may not be included for compound words. Example: besabab (without reason)
Two consonants will always be separated by a vowel sound. Example: magar (but), piichhe (behind), badan (body)
Some words have the two or more consonants merged together. In such cases, the consonants are written without a vowel sound separating them. Example: lamhaa (moment), rang (colour), patthar (stone), garm (hot)
Nasal sounds are represented by (.n) and (.N) without the parentheses. Example: kahaa.N (where), me.n (in), chaa.Nd (moon), nahii.n (no)
