![]() The rendering of щ as ⟨št⟩ or ⟨sht⟩ is specific to Bulgarian and differs from the conventions for the East Slavic languages, where it is rendered mostly as ⟨šč⟩ or ⟨shch⟩. Also, Cyrillic x may be rendered as either ⟨h⟩, ⟨x⟩ or ⟨hh⟩, and Cyrillic ц as either ⟨c⟩ or ⟨ts⟩. Here, the choice is mostly between Latin letters with diacritics, as used in many Latin-based orthographies of other Slavic languages, and digraph combinations, as used in English: ж→ž/zh, ч→č/ch, ш→š/sh, щ→št/ŝ/sht. letters denoting palatal/alveolar fricatives and affricates.letters involving the glide sound /j/, where some systems use Latin ⟨j⟩ and some Latin ⟨y⟩: й→j/y, ю→ju/yu, я→ja/ya also ь→’/j/y.Differences exist with respect to the following: The remaining 18 have constant mappings in all romanization schemes: The various romanization systems differ with respect to 12 out of the 30 letters of the modern Bulgarian alphabet. 2.3.5 Streamlined System with unambiguous reverse mapping.2.3.4 Streamlined System with -ia-exception.2.3.3 New Orthographic Dictionary system.Several different standards of transliteration exist, one of which was chosen and made mandatory for common use by the Bulgarian authorities in a law of 2009. Official use of romanization by Bulgarian authorities is found, for instance, in identity documents and in road signage. Romanization can be used for various purposes, such as rendering of proper names and place names in foreign-language contexts, or for informal writing of Bulgarian in environments where Cyrillic is not easily available. Romanization of Bulgarian is the practice of transliteration of text in Bulgarian from its conventional Cyrillic orthography into the Latin alphabet. One of these signposts in Sofia shows the name of the district of Lozenets written according to the international scientific system of transliteration (c = ts), but in the other the name of the Irish journalist James Bourchier has been "relatinised" according to the official Bulgarian system (Dzheyms Baucher), even though the system obviously does not apply to names that have authentic Roman spellings. The new system is not always used properly. ![]()
