Romanization

L'ewa's romanization is intentionally simple. Most of the IPA letters keep their letters, but the ones that do not match to Latin letters are listed below:

Pronunciation Spelling
/j/ y
/ɛ/ e
/ʃ/ x
/ʒ/ z
/ʔ/ '
/ʙ̥/ b

This is designed to make every letter typeable on a standard US keyboard, as well as mapping as many letters as possible on the home row of a QWERTY keyboard.
