The following is a proposed Misplaced Pages policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption.Shortcut

The Misplaced Pages romanization of Russian is a romanization of Russian names, used in English Misplaced Pages and suitable for Anglophones. It is a modification of the BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations are usually romanized with capitalization as indicated, e.g., ДШК = DShK.

List of differences from BGN/PCGN

The following two rules come from a text version of the differences and they differ from what is shown in the table. This inconsistency has been mentioned at the talk page. Awaiting fix.

  • hard sign (ъ) is omitted;
  • -ый endings become -y;
