Notes
- When used as particles, the following characters are romanized as follows; は (wa), へ (je or e), を (o).
- When followed by a vowel or <j>, <n> (ん) is written with an apostrophe (').
- The consonants <b>, <g>, <m>, <p>, and <r> may be palatalized, meaning they are affixed with the /j/ phenome, resulting in combinations like /bʲ/. For example, びょう may be romanized as biō (IOTL byō).
