Dear list members,

I had always thought that anusvara in IAST was m with underdot (thats what
GRETIL, SARIT and U ot Texas Etexts have and what I've always used) but
just now looking at the wikipedia articles: Devanagari Transliteration
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari_transliteration
and  IAST
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Alphabet_of_Sanskrit_Transliteration
Both these articles have IAST anusvara as m overdot. Are these wikipedia
articles wrong or have we all (GRETIL,SARIT, Uof Texas, me) not been using
correct IAST transliteration?

Thanks,
Harry Spier
