In practice, transliteration uses standardized mappings or schemes, sometimes with diacritics to indicate phonetic value or distinctive letters absent in the target script. No single global standard exists; most languages with multiple scripts rely on country- or discipline-specific systems.
Common examples include the ISO 9 standard for Cyrillic, which provides a reversible, one-to-one mapping for
Challenges include language-specific sounds without exact Latin equivalents, the need to balance phonetic transparency with stability,
