Popis: More than two decades ago Wang Jingru reminded fellow academics of the importance of Tangut Buddhist dhāraṇī for the study of Tangut phonology. In recent decades Wang Jingru discussed issues such as Tangut pre-nasalized initials and nasal finals based on the evidence of Sanskrit-Tangut transliteration in the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī and the Suvarṇaprabhāsa Sūtra .However, the analysis of transliteration in this paper is based mainly on examples from the Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī and the Dpal kun tu kha sbyor źes bya baḥi rgyud . In conclusion, through the analysis of Sanskrit-Tangut transliteration in Tangut Buddhist incantations, the Tangut initial table can be modified. Keywords:dhāraṇī; Sanskrit-Tangut transliterations; Tangut Buddhist incantations; Tangut consonant system; Wang Jingru
