Editing D'ni (language) (section)

==== New Transliteration Standard ====
The NTS was developed by the [[Guild of Linguists (restored)|Guild of Linguists]] when it became apparent that the OTS was insufficient for use as a standard capable of handling the extended symbols in the D'ni alphabet. The NTS uses linguistic characters to standardize D'ni to Roman transliteration on a one-to-one basis. For instance, "shorah" is written as "šora" using NTS.

Unfortunately, NTS has not caught on outside of linguistic circles due to the difficulty involved in typing linguistic characters on most keyboards, the difficulty in ensuring that the characters are properly displayed on all computer screens{{emdash}}if a forum's encoding is incorrect, the letters will appear as anything from squares to question marks{{emdash}}and the increased difficulty for non-linguists in deciphering the pronunciation from the text alone.
