Romei is a Latin-based writing system used to write Sgaw Karen. This writing system was first developed in Burma. However, it was later used mainly in Thailand, and was influenced by dialect(s) on the Thai side. This article shows the correspondence between the Sgaw Karen Standard Pronunciation (SKSP) in Myanmar and Romei and includes an attempt to write SKSP in Romei. This study aims to clarify the Romei system using this process. When writing SKSP in Romei, /θ-/ is to be written as s, and /s-/ and /sh-/ are to be written as c and hs, respectively. Furthermore, in this article, I propose the spellings ky, hky, sy, and z for the initial consonants /c-/, /ch-/, /ɕ-/, and /z-/, for which Romei lacks spellings. Regarding rhymes, the spellings eix, eiv, ox, and ov, which are not required when writing Thai Sgaw Karen, are necessary when writing SKSP. Although Romei is generally systematic, it cannot distinguish between the syllables /ʔə/ and /ʔāʔ/. I suggest writing the latter as a’v when necessary.
