Ukrainian Transliteration

E-mail Print PDF

By decree No. 55 on January 27, 2010, the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers approved the Ukrainian-English transliteration system.  Set character encoding to Cyrillic (Windows-1251) to properly view the transliteration table.

For brevity's sake, names such as the city of 'Zaporizhzhia' are to be given as 'Zaporizhia,' 'L'viv' as 'Lviv,' etc.  Official spellings for 'Ukraine' do not use the article 'the', 'Crimea' as opposed to 'Krym'.  In certain cases, 'traditional' Russian spellings may be shown in parentheses after the official form: 'Dnipro (Dnieper).'

In addition, apostrophe marks and softening marks may be omitted upon transliteration into English.
