Romanization systems for Sakha
[edit]Because there is no standardized romanization system for Sakha, there is significant variation between different works. These systems are based on romanization systems for Russian Cyrillic, IPA, the Common Turkic Alphabet (CTA), as well as the orthography of standard Turkish.
- Krue.= Krueger (1962)[1]
- St. & Mz.=Stachowsky & Menz (1998)[2]
- Vin.= Vinokurova (2005)[3]
- Pknd.= Pakendorf (2007)[4]
- Ptrv.= Petrova (2011)[5]
- Rb. & Sv.'= Robeets & Savalyev (2020)[6]
- ALA=ALA-LA romanization conventions for Non-Slavic languages written in the Cyrillic Script.[7]
Grayed out rows are only used in Russian (and thus contingent on how one chooses to translate palatalized segments).

Notes
[edit]- ^ The Turkish "soft g" is used to show lengthening of the vowel before, and is the result of compensatory lengthening from the loss of Proto-Turkic *g (Vː< Vɣ < Vg). Sakha lost the reflex of Proto-Turkic *g in it pre-recorded history (c.f. PT *ogul [ogul] 'boy; son', MTrk. oğul [oːl], Az. oğul [oɣul], Sah. uol. Modern Sakha <ҕ> is an intervocalic allophone of a reflex for PT *k (Old Turkic /q/), (c.f. 'nine' PT *tokuŕ, OT toquz, Trk dokuz, Sah toɣus).
- ^ <5> is a variant used in Cyrillic for <ҕ> which speakers may use if they do not have access to a Sakha keyboard. Additionally, <ҕ> is the same key as <5> on the Sakha keyboard and also visually resembles the number 5.
- ^ /ɟ͡ʝ/ is listed on the Yakut language page, but there is no citation.
- ^ Krueger omits <э>, perhaps in error.
Comparison in examples
[edit]As can be gleaned from the above, the main points of variation concern the fricatives ҕ /ɣ/, х /χ/, and the seriesи /i/, й /j/, ы /ɨ/, and дь /d͡ʒ/.
