[Heb-NACO] ALA/LC romanization(?) for Aramic as used in Babylonian Talmud, Talmud Yerushalmi, midrashitc texts

[Gottschalk, Haim]

With respect to the vocalization of Aramaic words, I looked at a few sources - after ES or Alkalay - I start with Jastrow and if not found, I would then search in Sefaria and Wikitext, which gives me the citation and then I follow this with the (physical) Koren Talmud and then the (physical) Artscroll Talmud.

Subject: [Heb-NACO] ALA/LC romanization(?) for Aramic as used in Babylonian Talmud, Talmud Yerushalmi, midrashitc texts

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?
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
