⭐ Core Definition: Transliterated

Transliteration is a type of conversion of a text from one script to another that involves swapping letters (thus trans- + liter-) in predictable ways, such as Greek αa and χ → the digraph ch, Cyrillic дd, Armenian նn or Latin æae.

For instance, for the Greek term Ελληνική Δημοκρατία, which is usually translated as 'Hellenic Republic', the usual transliteration into the Latin script (romanization) is ⟨Hellēnikḗ Dēmokratía⟩; and the Russian term Российская Республика, which is usually translated as 'Russian Republic', can be transliterated either as ⟨Rossiyskaya Respublika⟩ or alternatively as ⟨Rossijskaja Respublika⟩.
