Editing Transliteration (section)

==Difference from transcription==
In [[Greek language|Modern Greek]], the letters ⟨η, ι, υ⟩ and the letter combinations ⟨ει, oι, υι⟩ are pronounced {{IPA|[i]}} (except when pronounced as [[semivowel]]s), and a modern transcription renders them as ⟨i⟩. However, a transliteration distinguishes them; for example, by transliterating them as ⟨ē, i, y⟩ and ⟨ei, oi, yi⟩. (As the [[Ancient Greek phonology|ancient pronunciation]] of ⟨η⟩ was {{IPA|[ɛː]}}, it is often transliterated as ⟨ē⟩.) On the other hand, ⟨αυ, ευ, ηυ⟩ are pronounced {{IPA|/af, ef, if/}}, and are voiced to {{IPA|[av, ev, iv]}} when followed by a voiced consonant – a shift from Ancient Greek {{IPA|/au̯, eu̯, iu̯/}}. A transliteration would render them all as ⟨au, eu, iu⟩ no matter the environment these sounds are in, reflecting the traditional orthography of Ancient Greek, yet a transcription would distinguish them, based on their phonemic {{em|and}} allophonic pronunciations in Modern Greek. Furthermore, the initial letter ⟨h⟩ reflecting the historical [[rough breathing]] ⟨ ̔⟩ in words such as ⟨Hellēnikḗ⟩ would intuitively be omitted in transcription for Modern Greek, as Modern Greek no longer has the {{IPA|/h/}} sound.
