||{{lang|hi|ए / े}}
||{{transliteration|inc|ISO|ē}}
||{{IAST|e}}
||To distinguish between long and short 'e' in [[Dravidian languages]], 'e' now represents {{lang|hi|ऎ / ॆ}} (short). Note that the use of {{transliteration|inc|ISO|ē}} is considered optional in ISO 15919, and using {{transliteration|inc|ISO|e}} for {{lang|hi|ए}} (long) is acceptable for languages that do not distinguish long and short e.
|-
||{{lang|hi|ओ / ो}}
||{{transliteration|inc|ISO|ō}}
||{{IAST|o}}
||To distinguish between long and short 'o' in Dravidian languages, 'o' now represents {{lang|hi|ऒ / ॊ}} (short). Note that the use of {{transliteration|inc|ISO|ō}} is considered optional in ISO 15919, and using {{transliteration|inc|ISO|o}} for {{lang|hi|ओ}} (long) is acceptable for languages that do not distinguish long and short o.

|rowspan="2"|ISO 15919 has two options about anusvāra. (1) In the simplified nasalisation option, an anusvāra is always transliterated as ''ṁ''.  (2) In the strict nasalization option, anusvāra before a class consonant is transliterated as the class nasal—''ṅ'' before k, kh, g, gh, ṅ; ''ñ'' before c, ch, j, jh, ñ; ''ṇ'' before ṭ, ṭh, ḍ, ḍh, ṇ; ''n'' before t, th, d, dh, n; ''m'' before p, ph, b, bh, m.<!-- NOTE: http://transliteration.eki.ee/pdf/Hindi-Marathi-Nepali.pdf has an obvious typo, stating “n” before k, etc. http://transliteration.eki.ee/pdf/Malayalam.pdf from the same site correctly says “ṅ” before k, etc. --> ''ṃ'' is sometimes used to specifically represent [[Gurmukhi alphabet|Gurmukhi]] Tippi {{lang|pa| ੰ}}.
