Editing Romanization of Russian (section)

===BGN/PCGN===
{{Main article|BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian}}The BGN/PCGN system is relatively intuitive for Anglophones to read and pronounce. In many publications, a simplified form of the system is used to render English versions of Russian names, typically converting ''ë'' to ''yo'', simplifying ''-iy'' and ''-yy'' endings to ''-y'', and omitting apostrophes for ''ъ'' and ''ь''.  It can be rendered using only the basic letters and punctuation found on English-language keyboards: no diacritics or unusual letters are required, although the [[interpunct]] character (·) may be used to avoid ambiguity.

This particular standard is part of the [[BGN/PCGN romanization|BGN/PCGN romanization system]] which was developed by the [[United States Board on Geographic Names]] and by the [[Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use]]. The portion of the system pertaining to the [[Russian language]] was adopted by BGN in 1944 and by PCGN in 1947.
