Romanization Table Proposals


Proposal for Revision of the Lepcha Romanization Table

The Policy and Standards Division of the Library of Congress has received a revision proposal for the Lepcha ALA-LC romanization table from Charles Riley of Yale University. The proposal aims to align the Lepcha ALA-LC romanization table more closely with current Lepcha language scholarship, and is largely based on the work of Heleen Plaisier.

The revision proposal www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman_lepcha_proposal.pdf (PDF, 88 KB) highlights all additions and changes. A separate document www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman_lepcha_explanation.pdf (PDF, 221 KB) enumerates changes in the revision proposal.
