Russian Latin

Name: Anonymous 2010-03-29 16:03

My variant of Latin alphabet for Russian:

А а - A a
Б б - B b
В в - V v
Г г - G g
Д д - D d
Е е - Je je
Ё ё - Jo jo
Ж ж - Ž ž
З з - Z z
И и - I i
Й й - J j
К к - K k
Л л - Ł ł
М м - M m
Н н - N n
О о - O o
П п - P p
Р р - R r
С с - S s
Т т - T t
У у - U u
Ф ф - F f
Х х - Ch ch
Ц ц - C c
Ч ч - Č č
Ш ш - Š š
Щ щ - Šč šč
Ъ ъ - no exact match
Ы ы - Y y
Ь ь - long explanation, see below
Э э - E e
Ю ю - Ju ju
Я я - Ja ja

Indication of palatalization is similar to Polish, but 'e' is always palatal in Russian and hence does not require 'i' before it. More letters can have kreska over them. Usage of 'y' follows the Cyrillic rules.

Бь бь - B́ b́
Вь вь - V́ v́
Дь дь - D́ d́
Зь зь - Ź ź
Ль ль - L l
Мь мь - Ḿ ḿ
Нь нь - Ń ń
Пь пь - Ṕ ṕ
Рь рь - Ŕ ŕ
Сь сь - Ś ś
Ть ть - T́ t́
Фь фь - F́ f́

I think, that limiting the use of acutes and adding umlauts for palatalizing vowels instead is better, than using acutes everywhere.
Look at this example:

Sješ ješčo etih mägkih francuzskih buloček da vypёj čaju.

Using acutes is limited to cases when palatilized consonants stand at the end or when there is a separation:
Ṕjanaja toṕ (meaningless, just for example).
I'm not quite sure about the latter needing because I can't tell the difference between 'pjanaja/ṕjanaja', or 'vjunok/v́junok'
Hissing consonants are by default palatalized(рожь = rož, печь = peč), so шёл, жёлтый = šol, žoltyj.
Ъ is represented by 'j' (podjezd).

P.S. I don't like using 'ch' for 'x'. Russian doesn't have that aspirate sound "hh", so 'h' will pass. Using 'x' for 'x' is also an option(so максимум = maksimum, not maximum).
