Batak Romanization Table (2012)
alalc-btk-Batk-Latn-2012 ALA-LC Batak Romanization Table, 2012 version (earlier: 2002). Fourteen consonant letters carry an implicit /a/ (suppressed by the pangolat or overridden by a vowel sign); I and U are pure vowels; the vowel signs e i o u follow the letter a when it is already present (aek); the ng and h consonant signs are codas that keep the implicit vowel. Dialect notes from the table: Mandailing S/H/CA and the ka letter (Mandailing HA), Dairi t/v readings. Transcribed from the loc.gov document; the PDF renders Batak glyphs through a shape-based substitute font, so the letter-to-codepoint correspondence follows the standard Batak block with the table's dialect footnotes (all 31 assignments verified against Unicode names).
