Editing Romanization (section)

====Phonemic====
{{See also|Phonemic orthography}}
Most romanizations are intended to enable the casual reader who is unfamiliar with the original script to pronounce the source language reasonably accurately. Such romanizations follow the principle of [[phonemic orthography|phonemic transcription]] and attempt to render the significant sounds ([[phoneme]]s) of the original as faithfully as possible in the target language. The popular [[Hepburn Romanization]] of Japanese is an example of a transcriptive romanization designed for English speakers.
