There are several somewhat similar methods of transliteration from Devanagari to the Roman script (a process sometimes called romanization), including the influential and lossless IAST notation. Romanized Devanagari is also called Romanagari.

For example, dental and retroflex consonants are disambiguated with an underdot: dental द=d and retroflex ड=ḍ.
