Transliteration Glossary of terms

Transliteration is the representation of characters from one writing system using characters from another system, aiming to represent the original spelling.

Detailed Explanation

Transliteration is commonly used to convert proper nouns or specific terms between languages with different writing systems. Unlike transcription, it does not primarily aim to represent pronunciation, but rather the characters of the source script on a one-to-one basis. It is especially useful in academic, cartographic, and international documentation contexts.
