Produced the attached Russian - English alphabet "map" arising fron a recent thread on DC power relay markings below.
It's just intended for YAK-List use ... it will not meet with linguist approval!
Quote: | We're in need of a Yak-List nomenclature to avoid confusion between Cyrillic & Western alphabets ... so I've attempted to put together a standard alphabet map between the two as per the attached PDF file. Given it's not really practical to try & describe the Cyrillic characters (the backwards E, upside down L, the one that looks like a 6 etc) nor can these characters be universally posted on the Yak-List ... fine on the web site, but plain text email trashes them. So prefixing descriptions with for example "YL: R-27" can be read from the map as "Yak-List: P-27" in Cyrillic, also useful when some of the chars look quite similar and a mug shot of the definitive version can act as a reference. |
Cheers, Rob R
