Transliteration

Transliteration (from the Latin trans, across ') referred to in applied linguistics, the literal transfer of words from one font to another ( eg Greek φ as ph, runic ᛜ as ng, etc.). Where appropriate diacritics are used, so that a unique retransmission is possible.

To pronounce words correctly transliterated, knowing the rules of pronunciation of the original language is not sufficient. Transliteration is useful but for the uniform grading of authors and property titles or other list elements from languages ​​with non- Latin characters.

Variants

A distinction is made between:

Examples of transliteration exist for Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Hebrew, Korean, Macedonian, Persian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Thai ( Thai ), Ukrainian and Belarusian.

No transliteration, but only transcription systems are available for complex scripts such as Chinese.
