This page has examples of transliteration mostly for languages that use scripts different from the Roman (Latin) script. Your browser has to support Unicode to show this page correctly. Some required fonts for a number of reasons may be missing on your system. In this case you may see empty boxes or strange characters instead of the right ones.
Any questions, comments or proposals regarding the content of this page are welcome.
Transliterations for several particular languages were implemented with the help of people knowledgeable or to a certain degree knowledgeable in these languages, especially their writing systems and phonetics. Author is very thankful to all these people. Their contribution is or will be acknowledged on a separate Acknoledgements page.
Transliterations proposed on this page conform to the principles of Visual International Transliteration that employs Transliterated Encoding Technology (see www.uconv.com), though some more or less traditional, possibly ambiguous, transliterations may be also given here for reference and comparison.
More languages are being added and are coming soon. Do not miss your opportunity to contribute for the languages you are familiar with!
