transliterate
v.
write or spell in the alphabet of another language
Transliteration
Transliteration is the
practice of
transcribing a
word or text
written in one
writing system into another writing system. It is also the
system of
rules for that practice.Technically, from a
linguistic point of view, it is a
mapping from one
system of writing into another. Transliteration attempts to be exact, so that an informed reader should be able to reconstruct the original spelling of unknown transliterated words. To achieve this objective transliteration may define complex
conventions for dealing with letters in a source script which do not correspond with letters in a goal script.
Romaji is an example of a transliterating method.
