Below is a list of techniques one can use to transcribe foreign words into Toaq's phonology. It is rarely important to transcribe a word in any particular way, so the techniques can be regarded as suggestions to be used or ignored depending on context and taste.


* Render approximate onsets /w/ as {{T|ba}}.
* Render approximate onsets /w/ as {{T|ba}}.
* Render approximate onsets /j/ as {{T|j}}.
* Render approximate onsets /j/ as {{T|j}}.
* Render "n + consonant" pairings as a syllable-final {{T|q}} on the previous word: "pans" -> {{T|paqsy}}.
* Render unacceptable consonant clusters as {{T|Cy}} syllables: "past" -> {{T|pasyty}}.
* Render "t + s" pairings as {{T|c}} and "d + z" pairings as {{T|z}}: "rights" -> {{T|raıcy}} and "rides" -> {{T||raızy}}. (This may seem like an obvious rule, but it can be easy to forget that these particular "consonant clusters" are allowed in Toaq's morphology.)
