transliteration

[Sitzmann]

"Cernoz<e with trema>m" would be the correct translitteration (at least in
Austria and Germany), cf. Rehder, Peter: Einfuhrung in die slavischen
Sprachen. 3. edition. Darmstadt: Wiss. Buchgesellschaft  1998.

<y> is used to transliterate e.g. my = we
<jo> is only used after vowel, jer or in first position
<i> is [i] and cannot be used

Linguists would probably "transscribe" it the following way: Cernozjom.
