Are there any good resources for learning Sanskrit with the Latin alphabet without me having to learn the Devanagari? I mean, Devanagari shouldn't be too difficult, especially when I am already quite into Chinese, but I am not as interested in authentic Sanskrit materials as I am interested in the language itself.

Try this one I've not personally done much sanskrit recently, it is quite a way down my list but I did review a little when I was getting back into languages. Enjoy 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The University of Texas Early Indo-European Online site has an introduction to Vedic Sanskrit using Roman letters. If you're interested in Sanskrit from the vantage point of an Indo-Europeanist, it's a good survey:

Most English language introductory texts used Roman and Devanagari except where
conciseness is valued e.g. declension tables. And for those you can supplement. Devanagari isn't that scary, though. There are two or three bizarre ligatures, the rest can be puzzled out after memorizing the independent characters. Also, given you're more interested in the language itself rather than the access to literature, you might be interested in skipping introductory materials and looking at reference texts. Whitney's Sanskrit Grammar is pretty good. Edited by zyz on 20 September 2010 at 2:53am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

The Clay Sanskrit Library has published a whole range of classical Sanskrit texts with the Sanskrit in Latin letters on one page, and an English translation on the facing page.
