Abstract

The paper discusses directions in the Latinization of Moscow street signs as an approach to facilitating urban navigation in a multicultural environment. Existing transliteration standards are critically reviewed and compared in the aims of identifying the most suitable Latinization approaches to meet the requirements of the modern city.

Различные стандарты транслитерации подвергаются сравнению и анализу с тем, чтобы отобрать наиболее адекватный с точки зрения требований современного города способ транслитерации.
