Romanized script
Romanized script is a way of writing words from languages that typically use different alphabets, like Chinese or Arabic, using the Latin alphabet (the same alphabet used in English). It allows speakers unfamiliar with the original script to read and pronounce the words more easily. This system helps with learning, pronunciation, and communication across language barriers. Examples include pinyin for Chinese or romanization of Arabic. While it can’t fully capture all sounds and nuances, it provides a practical tool for bridging language differences and aiding international understanding.
