Recommended Table of Transliteration
Currently there are several approaches to the transliteration:
- GOST 16876-71 "Transliteration Rules For the Substitution of Cyrillic Letters with Latin Letters" (void).
- GOST 7.79:2000 (ISO 9-95) "System of standards on information, librarianship and publishing. Transliteration of Cyrillic characters into Latin characters" (valid, replacement for GOST 16876-71).
- ГОСТ Р 52535.1-2006 "Identification cards. Machine readable travel documents. Part 1. Machine readable passports" – Appenidx А – Transliteration of Cyrillic for Russian Alphabet.
- ALA-LC Romanization Tables.
- English Style Guide. European Commission Directorate-General for Translation. Annex 2. Transliteration Table For Cyrillic (Bulgarian and Russian).
- Transliteration of Russian characters into Latin characters in Proper Nouns (GOST R 52290-2004. Traffic control devices. Traffic signs.General technical requirements).
- International Standard ISO 9:1995
In our professional opinion, the most convenient transliteration system for translation and cross-cultural communication is the Traveller''s Yellow Pages Transliteration system below. It is used, for example, on Moscow Underground maps and road signs.
