Stone|Stone Editions]] of Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and [[Chumash (Judaism)|Chumash]] (Pentateuch) use many more transliterated Hebrew words than English words, compared to editions such as the [[Tanakh]] of the [[Jewish Publication Society]]. This reflects a higher use of untranslated Hebrew terminology in Haredi English usage.

ArtScroll's transliteration system for [[Hebrew transliteration]] for readers of the English language generally uses [[Ashkenazi Hebrew|Ashkenazi]] consonants and [[Sephardi Hebrew|Sefardi]] vowels. The two major differences between the way Sefardi and Ashkenazi Hebrew dialects are transcribed are as follows:
*the letter [[Taw (letter)|Tav]] without a [[dagesh]] (emphasis point) is transcribed as [t] and [s] respectively
**ArtScroll uses the latter
*the vowel [[niqqud|kamatz gadol]], is transcribed [a] and [o] respectively
**ArtScroll uses the former

As such, the following transliterations are used:
