Has anyone done some research on Devanagari to Latin transliteration?

I am working on transliterating song lyrics in some android app. I found ISO-15919 and IAST, but both of them read a bit wrong to me.

For instance 'च' gets transliterated as 'C' and it always reads very wrong.

Also the words ending in a consonant also get transliterated as ending in an 'a'. This one is more tricky because it would be correct in Sanskrit.

For Adding #Devanagari and #Tamil to Samaano, I had references of curveless letter design in form of picture of sign boards or movie posters, but for #Odiya / #Oriya, I did not get any such material. So unsure how much legible my curveless letters will be for Oriya

Another #Sanskrit question 🙇‍♀️

We equate #language with script. That is true in most cases, but not always.

We make words and sentences in a language, but we write them in a script. Text from a language can be written in different scripts. And text from different languages can be written in the same script. ✍️ #writing #distinction

Both #Sanskrit and #Hindi texts are primarily written in #Devanagari script. And it is quite common to write Sanskrit text (especially scriptures) in the scripts of other Indian #languages.

Here's a site with the Sanskrit text of Bhagavad #Gita in 16 different scripts:
https://vignanam.org/devanagari/srimad-bhagawad-gita-chapter-1.html

Srimad Bhagawad Gita Chapter 1 - Devanagari | Vaidika Vignanam

Srimad Bhagawad Gita Chapter 1 - Devanagari | Vaidika Vignanam. A collection of spiritual and devotional literature in various Indian languages in Sanskrit, Samskrutam, Hindia, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, Bengali, Oriya, English scripts with pdf

I don't have the complete citation, but this #Sanskrit verse from the #Hindu epic #Mahabharata is timelessly relevant to all domains. First the English meaning and then the source text in different scripts.

Meaning:
A little work done with knowledge has great import.
A lot of work done with ignorance has no benefit.

E.g., a small piece of software, like a function, developed with full understanding can be very useful. OTOH, a large piece of software, like an entire service, is of no use if it's developed with no understanding of requirements or engineering principles.
