ALA-LC romanization for Russian

The American Library Association and Library of Congress Romanization Tables for Russian, or the Library of Congress system, are a set of rules for the romanization of Russian-language text from the Russian alphabet, which uses the Cyrillic script, to Latin script.

## Background

The ALA-LC Romanization tables comprise a set of standards for romanization of texts in various languages, written in non-Latin writing systems. These romanization systems are intended for bibliographic cataloguing, and used in US and Canadian libraries, by the British Library since 1975,[1] and in many publications worldwide.

The romanization tables were first discussed by the American Library Association in 1885,[2] and published in 1904 and 1908,[3] including rules for romanizing some languages written in Cyrillic script: Church Slavic, Serbo-Croatian, and Russian in the pre-reform alphabet.[4] Revised tables including more languages were published in 1941,[5] and a since-discontinued version of the entire standard was printed in 1997.[6] The system for Russian remains virtually unchanged from 1941 to the latest release, with the current Russian table published online in 2012.[7]

## Table

The formal, unambiguous version of the system requires some diacritics and two-letter tie characters which are often omitted in practice.

The table below combines material from the ALA-LC tables for Russian (2012)[8] and, for some obsolete letters, Church Slavic (2011).[9]
