Spelling of words and names in the Rusyn language, and its Yazychie historical literary varieties,[1] follows the usage in the Encyclopedia of Rusyn History and Culture (ERHC).[2] Be aware that Rusyn Cyrillic orthography and its romanization varies between regions where Rusyns live.
For general use of proper names
For names of people, places, institutions, and organizations, as used in running text, headings, or article titles.
- Use the modified Library of Congress system, based on ALA-LC romanization for Rusyn[3] with the following changes:
- Omit ligatures (e.g., є = ie, not i͡e).
- Omit romanization of ь, ъ, and ʼ (the Cyrillic apostrophe).
- Omit diacritics, except romanize Cyrillic ї = ï.
- Romanize Cyrillic ё = io (not ë).
- For initial Є-, Ё-, Ю-, and Я- use Ye-, Yo-, Yu-, and Ya- (not Ie-, Io-, Iu-, or Ia-).
- In surnames with masculine endings, romanize -ий or -ый as -y.
- Do not anglicize names, for example, Михаїл Демко = Mykhaïl Demko (not “Michael Demko”)
