"ss" in Krassimir when it is only a single с in Cyrillic

[edit]

hello, as there is only one s (Красимир) in the name, how to explain ss in latinic script? is it scientifical? Anton.aldemir (talk) 14:14, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My guess would be that it is to preserve the pronunciation. If it was spelled as it is in Cyrillic, because the <s> in Krasimir is between two vowels, in English it would tend to be pronounced as /z/. It's spelled Krassimir in all the latin script articles. I note that includes Turkish, where as far as I know, an intervocalic </s> would be pronounced as /s/. Maybe he just likes it that way? --Shirt58 (talk) 02:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
