Editing Romanization (section)

===Cyrillic===
In English language library catalogues, bibliographies, and most academic publications, the [[ALA-LC romanization for Russian|Library of Congress transliteration method]] is used worldwide.

In linguistics, [[scientific transliteration]] is used for both [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]] and [[Glagolitic alphabet]]s. This applies to [[Old Church Slavonic]], as well as modern [[Slavic languages]] that use these alphabets.

====Bulgarian====
{{Main|Romanization of Bulgarian}}

A system based on [[scientific transliteration]] and [[ISO/R 9:1968]] was considered official in Bulgaria since the 1970s. Since the late 1990s, Bulgarian authorities have switched to the so-called [[Romanization of Bulgarian#Streamlined System|Streamlined System]] avoiding the use of diacritics and optimized for compatibility with English. This system became mandatory for public use with a law passed in 2009.<ref>State Gazette # 19, Sofia, 13 March 2009. (in Bulgarian)</ref> Where the old system uses <č,š,ž,št,c,j,ă>, the new system uses <ch,sh,zh,sht,ts,y,a>.

The new Bulgarian system was endorsed for official use also by UN in 2012,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eki.ee/wgrs/rom1_bg.htm |title=UN Romanization of Bulgarian for Geographical Names (1977) |work=Eki.ee |access-date=2015-06-27}}</ref> and by [[United States Board on Geographic Names|BGN]] and [[Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use|PCGN]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/Romanization/Romanization_Bulgarian.pdf |title=Romanization System for Bulgarian, BGN/PCGN 1952 System |website=earth-info.nga.mil |publisher=[[National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071219024011/http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/Romanization/Romanization_Bulgarian.pdf |archive-date=December 19, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

There is no single universally accepted system of writing [[Russian language|Russian]] using the Latin script—in fact there are a huge number of such systems: some are adjusted for a particular target language (e.g. German or French), some are designed as a librarian's transliteration, some are prescribed for Russian travellers' passports; the transcription of some names is purely traditional. All this has resulted in great reduplication of names. E.g. the name of the Russian composer [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]] may also be written as ''Tchaykovsky'', ''Tchajkovskij'', ''Tchaikowski'', ''Tschaikowski'', ''Czajkowski'', ''Čajkovskij'', ''Čajkovski'', ''Chajkovskij'', ''Çaykovski'', ''Chaykovsky'', ''Chaykovskiy'', ''Chaikovski'', ''Tshaikovski'', ''Tšaikovski'', ''Tsjajkovskij'' etc. Systems include:

The Latin script for Syriac was developed in the 1930s, following the state policy for minority languages of the [[Soviet Union]], with some material published.<ref>S.P. Brock, "Three Thousand Years of Aramaic literature", in Aram,1:1 (1989)</ref>

The 2010 Ukrainian National system has been adopted by the UNGEGN in 2012 and by the BGN/PCGN in 2020. It is also very close to the modified (simplified) ALA-LC system, which has remained unchanged since 1941.
