Romanization standards

Romanization standards are systematic rules for converting words from non-Latin scripts (like Chinese, Arabic, or Korean) into Latin alphabet characters. They ensure consistency and accuracy so that people worldwide can read and pronounce these words correctly. Different standards exist for different languages, reflecting linguistic nuances. Examples include Pinyin for Chinese and Revised Romanization. These standards facilitate communication, translation, and scholarly work by providing a common way to represent unfamiliar scripts in a widely understood alphabet.
