Wylie Transliteration System

The Wylie Transliteration System is a standardized way to convert Tibetan script into Latin letters. It uses specific rules to represent Tibetan sounds accurately, making it easier for people unfamiliar with Tibetan script to read and study the language. Developed by Donald J. Wylie in 1959, the system ensures consistent spelling of Tibetan words across texts and studies. It includes mappings for Tibetan consonants, vowels, and special characters, serving as a practical tool for scholars, translators, and students to share and analyze Tibetan language materials without needing the original script.
