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 ba.
- Render approximate onsets /j/ as j.
- Render unacceptable consonant clusters as Cy syllables: "past" -> pasyty.
- Render "n + consonant" pairings as a syllable-final q on the previous word: "pans" -> paqsy.
- Render "t + s" pairings as c and "d + z" pairings as z: "rights" -> raıcy and "rides" -> 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.)
