APPENDIX VII.

A synopsis of the Roman characters used to represent the Singhalese-Páli letters, in this publication; taken almost exclusively from the scheme recently published in Bengal.

As the Páli Alphabet is nearly identical with the Déwanagari, it cannot be necessary to define the sounds of the letters composing it.

There is but one s in Páli. The two is have nearly the same sound; and the letter > partakes more of the sound of w than v.
