Step 1
The transmission of most of the Russian letters in Latin is not difficult. For example, instead of the Russian letter A, A is simply written in Latin, instead of B - B, instead of C - S. However, in the Russian alphabet there are letters that are not so easy to convey in Latin. signs. In all other cases, the letter E is written. The letter E is usually transmitted as E (for example, Zvonareva - Zvonareva), but if it is necessary to emphasize the sound of the letter E, then they write YO (Fedor - Fyodor).
Step 2
The Russian letter Ж in English is written as ZH (Rozhkina - Rozhkina). The letters Y and Y are transmitted in the same way - with the letter Y. And if there is a combination of the letters Y and Y (Dmitry), use one letter Y (Dmitry).
Step 3
The letter X is denoted by the combination KH (Khariton - Khariton). The letter C in the English spelling becomes two letters TS (Tsvetkov - Tsvetkov). The letter CH corresponds to the combination CH (Cherin - Cherin), and the letter SH corresponds to the combination SH (Kashin - Kashin).
Step 4
To transfer the Russian letter Щ, as many as four letters of the Latin alphabet are required - SHCH (Shchakov - Shchakov). A soft sign, like a hard one, is not conveyed at all when writing Russian surnames in English.
Step 5
The letter E, like the letter E, is transmitted by the Latin letter E (Etkin - Etkin). The Russian letter U in its sounding consists of Y and U and in Latin letters is rendered as YU (Yuri - Yury). The situation is similar with the letter I, which consists of the sounds Y and A and is written in English as Ya (Julia - Yuliya).
