LC is looking for comments on Proposal for Revision of Bulgarian and Russian Romanization Tables.
In the course of converting the ALA-LC Romanization Tables to DOC format a number of apparently obsolete romanization practices were noted. In most cases minor adjustments to the affected tables will significantly improve the reversibility of the table, as well as improving consistent searchability.
The Policy and Standards Division is proposing revisions to the Bulgarian http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman_bulgarian_proposed.pdf [PDF, 93 KB] and Russian http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman_russian_proposed.pdf [PDF, 94 KB] romanization tables. The proposed revisions are summarized below.
Comments on these proposed revisions may be sent ... by June 13, 2012.
