{{main|SLP1}}

SLP1 (Sanskrit Library Phonetic) is a case-sensitive scheme initially used by [http://sanskritlibrary.org Sanskrit Library]<ref>{{cite web | url = http://sanskritlibrary.org/tomcat/sl/ScriptTable | title = The Sanskrit Library » Tools » Indic Script Comparison Table | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140808070533/http://sanskritlibrary.org/tomcat/sl/ScriptTable | archive-date = 2014-08-08}}</ref> which was developed by Peter Scharf and (the late) Malcolm Hyman, who first described it in appendix B of their book Linguistic Issues in Encoding Sanskrit.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Scharf | first1 = Peter M. | last2 = Hyman | first2 = Malcolm D. | title = Linguistic Issues in Encoding Sanskrit | date = 2011 | url = http://www.sanskritlibrary.org/Sanskrit/pub/lies_sl.pdf}}</ref>
The advantage of SLP1 over other encodings is that a single ASCII character is used for each Devanagari letter, a peculiarity that eases reverse transliteration.<ref>[http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/monier/help.html Morphology Help<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
