From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These suggestions are subordinate to Wikipedia:Article titles and other guidelines and conventions.

Spelling of words and names in the Rusyn language, and its Yazychie historical literary varieties,[1] follows the usage in the Encyclopedia of Rusyn History and Culture (ERHC).[2] Be aware that Rusyn Cyrillic orthography and its romanization varies between regions where Rusyns live.

    • Omit ligatures (e.g., є = ie, not i͡e).
    • Omit romanization of ь, ъ, and ʼ (the Cyrillic apostrophe).
    • Omit diacritics, except romanize Cyrillic ї = ï.
    • Romanize Cyrillic ё = io (not ë).
    • For initial Є-, Ё-, Ю-, and Я- use Ye-, Yo-, Yu-, and Ya- (not Ie-, Io-, Iu-, or Ia-).
    • In surnames with masculine endings, romanize -ий or -ый as -y.
  • Do not anglicize names, for example, Михаїл Демко = Mykhaïl Demko (not “Michael Demko”)

The Rusyn transliteration system is similar to the Library of Congress system for Ukrainian, with the following additions: ё = io; ы = ŷ; о̂ = ô; ѣ = î. In the Vojvodinian variant of Rusyn, the vowel и is rendered as i. One exception to the above principles is found in the entry Language, which uses the International system . . .
