to make it easy to understand romanisation, I think it will be usefull to accept a standard pattern. I am writing below the hindi alphabets in sequence in the most followed format. I have avoided similar sounding alphabets and fifth alphabet in every series as they are not required for romanisation.

a......................aa

e......................ai
ka.....kha.....ga.....gha
cha.....chcha.....ja.....jha
ta.....tha.....da..... dha
pa.....pha.....ba.....bha
ya.....ra.....la.....va
sha.....sa.....ha
i know i ve missed some alphabets but the above ones would bring in required clarity and trying to add more alphabets can cause confusion coz they sound similar.
