The new Russian and Bulgarian romanization tables have been approved and the big difference to notice is that we now keep the hard signs at the ends of words.


Bulgarian revision

  • The hard sign is no longer disregarded in romanization when found at the end of a word, where it can appear in the old orthography. Reversibility is promoted and access is not affected.
  • The soft sign is no longer disregarded in romanization. Reversibility is promoted and access is not affected.
  • The note on obsolete letters is clarified.

Russian revision

  • The hard sign is no longer disregarded in romanization when found at the end of a word, where it can appear in the old orthography. Reversibility is promoted and access is not affected.
  • The instruction “Do not confuse with similar part of the letter Yeri (romanized Y, y)” is eliminated.
  • The instructions on obsolete letters are simplified. The letter Yus is eliminated in favor of a general reference to the Church Slavic table.
