Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Romanisations

When you read a transliteration of a foreign text, you may find that they differ from one to another. This is because of different romanisations.

Here is a list of current romanisations of writing systems other than Latin.

Note that “transcription” is about the sound, while “transcription” is about the text.
