Thank you Dipak and Dick,

Just to confirm. Is  chandrabindu  usually transliterated in Hindi as tilde ( ~ ) ?.  I'm asking because I've seen tilde used in Hindi and marathi but the ISO standard is m with chandrabindu.

thanks,
Vasishha

Dear Harry,

Yes, it does. Hindi vowels can be, and are very often, nasalised. Nasality is shown by the sign candrabindu (). However, when there is a vowel sign above the top line, only the dot wil be written. Transliteration: tilde, sometimes an m with under- or overdot.

हाँ, मैं हूँYes, I am.
