ISO 9 wouldn't add a k nor substitute the j.

I like to use UN standards. Don't know if I'll ever replace Ts with C though.

Thank you very much!

No worries. I know how difficult it can be to familiarise with Cyrillic. It was even more difficult when many "westerners" (myself included) had to learn in the dark old days before internet.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a programme out there that can automatically read, transcribe and transliterate images of Cyrillic text.

Are you really correcting other people's transliterations by using a system that you made up yourself, nobody uses, is illogical, and is barely understandable for native English speakers? There's nothing wrong with the popular English transliterations (that Wikipedia uses for example) or the Library of Congress method :thumbsdown

How about going to the officials and looking at their way of doing things.

Here is the US Department (Moscow embassy) official transliteration system.

I like that one the most. It's the simplest. I opted to respond with the LOC system because it's once I have to interpret a lot when searching my university library catalog :rolleyes:

If you want it in English we can do English.

Defender, Son of "Who Is Like God?", Family of those who have returned from battle in one piece.

Maybe writing phonetically would make it more (or less) accessible to all.

Translit RU/EN - Russian Transliteration and Spell Checker seems to agree with me (Apart from the Ts/C). So did I just make it all up?

In the sense that you're correcting one rendition according to the guidelines of another system, from which you yourself are arbitrarily deviating (ts/c)... yes.
