User:Hellerick/Romanisation of Russian

The letters of Russian may be divided into three groups:


 * Vowels: а, е, ё, и, о, у, ы, э, ю, я.
 * Consonants: б, в, г, д, ж, з, й, к, л, м, н, п, р, с, т, ф, х, ц, ч, ш, щ.
 * Modifiers: ъ, ь.

This Romanisation system has three variants:


 * cp1252/cp1250, using the characters common for Windows-1252 (Western European) and Windows-1250 (Central European) code pages — is used for printed materials and some materials published on the web.
 * ASCII, using the characters of 7-bit ASCII code page — is used for electronic documents.
 * 26 letters, using the standard letters of the Latin/English alphabet — is used when there are technical implications on the use of apostrophe (in URLs, file names etc.).
