Thanks Haim for sharing your practice. We follow similar steps. I am also concerned about the following phrase "The following romanization table attempts to represent the sound of Hebrew or Yiddish words but is applicable to all Hebraic languages."
With the addition of the ALA/LC Judeo-Arabic and Ladino romanization tables, the statement "is applicable to all Hebraic languages" is not only misleading, but in correct. Heidi G.

Dear safranim, Is it possible that in our years of developing romanization schemata for several Jewish languages written in Hebrew script we have not codified any guidelines for Aramaic used in talmudic and midrashic/aggadic/cabalistic texts? Up until now my practice has been to follow the ALA/LC table for Hebrew. If I don't find a particular Aramaic word in Even-Shoshan or Alkalay, i turn to Jastrow, Sefaria, Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon (covers all dialects). What have the rest of you been doing? Should a preferred method be codified? I look forward to learning your practices have been. Best, Heidi Heidi G.
