Definition of Transliteration
Source: A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics
"transliteration" n.
In the study of writing systems, the conversion of one writing system into another. Each character of the source language is given an equivalent character in the target language – as in the representation of Russian names in English. Transliteration is commonly carried out for the names of people, places, institutions and inventions. Several systems may exist for a single language. Transliteration needs to be distinguished from transcription, in which the sounds of the source word are conveyed by letters in the target language.
