Sanskrit Orthographies

A while ago, I invented Sanskrit-based orthographies for Greek, 
Latin, and English. So here they are.

Comments are welcome (especially in regard to diphthongs).

# is a null-space. <&#351;> is a retroflex consonant.<ç> is a palatal 
sibilant. <r> is the curved line representing /r/ in Sanskrit when it 
precedes a consonant.
