Ossetic transliteration
Do you have a source for your Ossetic transliteration system? A Google search for "Iryshton" shows no relevant hits (only a couple where it's a spelling of "Irishtown"). Does anyone actually transliterate it that way? —KCinDC (talk) 18:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. I thought this is transcription of the name... if it is transliteration, you're right... But "c" in ossetic is pronounced as "sh", sure.. sorry.Iguacu (talk) 18:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're giving pronunciation, it should be in IPA, but the bits in italic there are transliterations. —KCinDC (talk) 18:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Question
Hi, I noticed that you speak Ossetian. I am curious what your thoughts are on the title of the Ludwig Chibirov article. Perhaps Lyudvig Chibirov would be better, but I'm not sure which spelling is the most common or more correct. What do you think? Khoikhoi 23:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello. I think, it would be better to use "Lyudvig Chibirov" because it is official transliteration using in Russian international passports. So, the spelling of this variant is more correct too. And it is not question about Ossetian, sure... — Iguacu (talk) 07:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. I've moved the page. BTW, what is the transliteration of Цыбырты Людвиг? Khoikhoi 09:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Cybyrty Lyudvig —Iguacu (talk) 09:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * In the transliteration for Russian used by English Wikipedia (WP:RUS), ц is transliterated as "ts", though it is "c" in other systems. So "Tsybyrty" might be better than "Cybyrty". I'm not sure what the best plan for transliterating Ossetic in Wikipedia is. It would be nice to use something that's compatible with the one used for Russian, but handling the consonant digraphs with ъ is a problem — for example, "kh" can't be used for къ if it's already being used for х. Possibly something to discuss at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Cyrillic); it doesn't look like Ossetic has been addressed there. —KCinDC (talk) 14:15, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
