transliteration of Cyrillic

[Neil Bermel]

There's comprehensive guidance on how to transliterate Cyrillic (and
many other scripts) for use in Czech texts in the Rules to Czech
Orthography (Pravidla ceskeho pravopisu); recent editions are from
1993 or later, and many university libraries will have them.  The one
I'm holding at the moment is published by Academia, 1993; it is the
so-called "academic" edition (as opposed to the "schools" edition,
which is labeled "skolni vydani") and contains, under the heading
"Doporucena pravidla prepisu slov z cizich jazyku do cestiny", tables
for the transliteration of Russian, Belarusian, Bulgarian,
Macedonian, Serbian as well as Chinese, etc.  The Rules were compiled
by the Czech Language Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and
thus carry the weight of an authoritative recommendation, although
they are not binding in any legal sense.
