Transliteration
Rendering foreign names and words into Russian and Uzbek (Cyrillic, old and new Latin) following practical transcription rules.
An automated approximation of the practical transcription rules, not a dictionary of exceptions. Dialectal, loanword, and lexically fixed variants (the rules themselves list quite a few) aren't accounted for and may need manual verification against sources.
How German names are rendered
The starting point is standard literary German pronunciation — the same basis used when rendering German names and place names into Russian and Uzbek. Regional dialect features aren't taken into account: what matters is how a word sounds under general pronunciation norms.
Some letter combinations are rendered as a whole rather than letter by letter, because together they produce a single sound that doesn't exist on its own: sch becomes 'sh' (Schmidt → Shmidt), ch is usually 'kh' (Fuchs → Fukhs), ei and ai become 'ay' (Rainer → Rayner), eu and äu become 'oy' (Neumann → Noyman), and ß (or the ss that replaces it) becomes 's' (Straße → Shtrase).
Umlauts depend on their position in the word: ä usually becomes 'e' after a consonant and 'e' (a fuller, open 'e') at the start of a word (Käthe → Kete), ö becomes 'yo' (Löwe → Lyove), ü becomes 'yu' mid-word and 'i' at the start (Übel → Ibel). The letters v and w also diverge from their spelling: v usually gives 'f' (Volkmar → Folkmar), while w gives 'v' (Wagner → Vagner).
Uzbek Cyrillic includes every Russian letter (plus its own Ў, Қ, Ғ, Ҳ, rarely needed for German names), so the Cyrillic result comes out the same for both Russian and Uzbek. Both Uzbek Latin variants — the old one (oʻ, gʻ, sh, ch) and the new 2026 one (ö, ğ, ş, ç) — are then built from it automatically.
This is a simplified approximation of the rules, not a ready-made dictionary: some names — established historical spellings, or words German itself borrowed from other languages — may not follow the general rules and can need manual checking.
