transliteration - Ukrainian & Russian to English

[Margarita Orlova]

If you really want to keep the pronunciation intact, you better use
-YOV, as in SOLOVYOV.

>> Both Library of Congress transliteration system and  International
>> Phonetic Alphabet use umlauts for Russian letter Ё (yo). However, the
>> official transliterations from, say, the State Department use no
>> umlauts but two letters YO. At the same time, they usually do not use
>> apostrophes for a soft sign simply dropping this letter in
>> transliteration.
>> As a result, the same last name ending in Ukrainian as "ЬОВ" or in
>> Russian as "ЁВ" might be transliterated as ending with "OV", "YOV",
>> and "EV."
>> Is there any rule to follow?
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
