When I’m romanizing my conlangs, I tend to prefer using diacritics over digraphs—e.g., I’d rather write /ʃ/ as <š> than <sh>. It gets rid of any possible ambiguity, and makes things a consistent one letter per phoneme. What do you guys think?

    I like chaotic orthographies (for conlangs only), so I prefer digraphs with a generous serving of historical orthography.

    The conlang I’m working on has two romanization systems, one with diacritics and another with polygraphs. I find that I generally use the latter system nowadays, because of its ASCII-friendliness and the lack of a need to create a custom keyboard layout.

      Understandable. I’ve found that I can use IPA keyboards on my phone and computer to deal with any diacritic I need, so I’ve stuck to using those when I can.
