ArXi:2512.10780v2 Announce Type: replace Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes clinical applications in India. Speakers of Indian languages frequently communicate using romanized text rather than native scripts, yet existing research rarely quantifies or evaluates this orthographic variation in real world applications. We investigate how romanization impacts the reliability of LLMs in a critical domain: maternal and newborn healthcare triage.
