Transliteration norms
[edit]I'm using User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Early Cyrillic quickref, adapted from Early Cyrillic alphabet#Alphabet. These are the transcription principles I will prefer:
- to generally prefer the International (Int.) system, unless ALA-LC has a better option;
- to be unambiguous/precise: if two different Cyrillic letters are transcribed the same according to either Int. or ALA-LC, prefer whichever transcribes them differently, e.g. prefer Int. x instead of Int. ch or ALA-LC kh for
Х х
; - to use as few non-Latin letters and as few diacritics as possible for non-expert readability, e.g. prefer ALA-LC zh instead of Int. ž for
Ж ж
. - #2 takes precedence over #3, e.g. prefer ALA-LC ī instead of Int. i for
І і / Ї ї
.
This means preferring ALA-LC over Int. in 10 cases, but otherwise following Int.
- Ж ж Zhe (Cyrillic) > zh
- Ѕ ѕ / Ꙃ ꙃ Dze > dz
- И и I (Cyrillic) > и=i, й=ĭ
- І і / Ї ї > ī
