Good to know
Some Cyrillic letters have more than one common romanization, so the shch letter may appear as shch or sch depending on the standard. The dotted yo and plain e can also look alike when the dots are dropped.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the shch letter spelled differently in places?
Romanization standards differ, so that letter is written shch in some systems and sch in others; both refer to the same Cyrillic letter.
How are yo and e handled?
Russian often prints the dotted yo without its dots, so romanization may read it as e unless the dots are present.
Is romanizing Russian the same as translating it?
No. It converts Cyrillic to Latin letters phonetically and does not translate the meaning of the text.
