Social:Romanization of Belarusian

From HandWiki
Short description: Transliteration of Belarusian from Cyrillic to Latin script

Romanization or Latinization of Belarusian is any system for transliterating written Belarusian from Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet.

Standard systems for romanizing Belarusian

Standard systems for romanizing Belarusian include:

  • BGN/PCGN romanization of Belarusian, 1979 (United States Board on Geographic Names and Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use), which is the US and Great Britain prevailing system for romanising of geographical information
  • British Standard 2979 : 1958
  • Scientific transliteration, or the International Scholarly System for linguistics
  • ALA-LC romanization, 1997 (American Library Association and Library of Congress)
  • ISO 9:1995, which is also Belarusian state standard GOST 7.79–2000 for non-geographical information
  • Instruction on transliteration of Belarusian geographical names with letters of Latin script, which is Belarusian state standard for geographical information, adopted by State Committee on land resources, geodetics and cartography of Belarus, 2000 and recommended[1] for use by the Working Group on Romanization Systems of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). It was significantly revised in 2007.
