Re:Feedback request

Hello Dave,

It surely does make sense to me, but I must admit I'm not familiar with Polish Cyrilic (some letters are quite different from the ones I'm familiar with). For example I don't know this one (latin → cyrilic):

ó → ѡ

Good luck! -Pumpernikiel90 (talk) 21:43, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, DaveZ123. You left the same request on my talk page. It's an interesting concept. I like the fact that you've dusted off the old 'theta' in order to reproduce 'th' in English. It's a problematic concept, however, in that you have to make decisions as to which Cyrillic alphabet to base it on (i.e., the use of 'и' to represent 'i' lends itself to the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, as 'и' in Ukrainian is the Russian 'ы'). Nevertheless, if a reader who is familiar with at least a couple of Cyrillic alphabets reads it, I don't think they'd have any problems with reading it. As a matter of interest, what's your envisaged concept for use? Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:36, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Iryna Harpy: To be honest, I have not yet publicized it to social media because English Cyrillic is currently still in its trial phase and I have not yet had them checked and verified with the Cyrillic experts and other native users of Cyrillic such as you. There are still certain words in the English language where I am unsure how to write in Cyrillic, take for example:

her (IPA: hɜr) = хер

hair (IPA: hɛr), bear, care, share, heir = ?

feet (IPA: fit) = фит

fit (IPA: fɪt), sit, bit, stick = ?

theme (IPA: θim) = ѳим

them (IPA: ðɛm), their, this, that, these = ?

Would you be able to come up with a suitable Cyrillic letter for those words? Thanks. --DaveZ123 (talk) 03:34, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(p.s. I know that some Serbs write the "th" (IPA: ð) as "ђ", but I did not adopt that letter because in Serbian, it is pronounced as /dʑ/.)

My concern would be "sheet" and "beach". Apologies, but it's the time of year for a little levity.

I'll have a think on these. Oh, but 'хер' for 'hair' just made my eyes bulge! Yes, there are some sticky choices to make. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:45, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

"Portuguese latin alphabet to cyrillic alphabet transliterator" would translate as "Transliterator de alfabeto latino (português) para alfabeto cirílico"

It doesnt matter, from the text it is not possible to determine his nationality. --Pedro (talk) 13:57, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
