anyone good with sanskrit??

[djchewie]

oh. and if i were you id find someone who you trust with your life to do the translating.

i remember a story of some guy going into a parlour in saffend asking for Love/peace (ore something like that) in chinese characters... only to be told it meant "im an ugly bastard" by some chick he was showing it off too.

the parlour was closing down, and the guy did it for his own amusement

well, i thought the fact that im not fluent in indian would rule me out!

if you send me a sketch or something visual, im sure i could knock something up. (for a change)

Ah, that confidence is slowly returning, eh Chewie?

how about a "cyrilic" translation Johnny?

 

[Morbyd]

Is it pronounced nie-ya?

If so, it'd be something like найа

It's na-ya or ne-ya

[Morbyd]

It's na-ya or ne-ya

[jjinit]

hmm...think I prefer sanskrit or my lower back might resemble some post cold war graffiti

The Sanskrit Wikipedia page has a section on phonetic vowels and consonants so you can do a sound by sound translation...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit

I get: ne-ya - न ए य अ

But translations arent usually this simple i dont think...

Also, this page has a Devanagari alphabet:
