There are two romanizations, "off. Roman." is the Official romanization, the second romanization is the one most often used as it's ASCII compliant.

The letter "ܛ" is soundless, it only appears at an initial position to hold vowels, for example "ܛܵܠܵܫ" (alaš; not an actual word as of now)

The letters "ܡ" and "ܢ" are used to mark length, the former for consonants, the latter for vowels
