Wiktionary talk:Armenian transliteration

Ո at the start of the words and stems.

There is no practical need to transliterate ո at the start of words and stems as /o/ (except for making it reversible, which is not really a purpose of transliteration). If an Armenian were writing a formal letter in Armenian without an Armenian layout and using only Latin letters in no world would he write oskor for ոսկոր or omank' for ոմանք and so on. Of course, there are some exceptions, like ով, but that only justifies the need for a manual altercation feature, which was overridden in Template:t. I understand the need for ideally unambiguous representation, but Armenian alphabet is not ideal (neither are others). I dare the objectors to give me an example where a transliteration with /o/ for initial ո (should be pronounced /vo/) makes practical sense. GareginRA (talk) 17:30, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
