Spelling of words and names in the Rusyn language, and its Yazychie historical literary varieties,[1] follows the usage in the Encyclopedia of Rusyn History and Culture (ERHC).[2] Be aware that Rusyn Cyrillic orthography and its romanization varies between regions where Rusyns live.
For general use of proper names
[edit]For names of people, places, institutions, and organizations, as used in running text, headings, or article titles.
- Use the modified Library of Congress system, based on ALA-LC romanization for Rusyn[3] with the following changes:
- Omit ligatures (e.g., є = ie, not i͡e).
- Omit romanization of ь, ъ, and ʼ (the Cyrillic apostrophe).
- Omit diacritics, except romanize Cyrillic ї = ï.
- Romanize Cyrillic ё = io (not ë).
- For initial Є-, Ё-, Ю-, and Я- use Ye-, Yo-, Yu-, and Ya- (not Ie-, Io-, Iu-, or Ia-).
- In surnames with masculine endings, romanize -ий or -ый as -y.
- Do not anglicize names, for example, Михаїл Демко = Mykhaïl Demko (not “Michael Demko”)
Where precision is required
[edit]For words as words (MOS:WAW), foreign-language text in parentheses in the first line (MOS:LEADLANG), and bibliographic citations (WP:REF).
- Use strict ALA-LC romanization for Rusyn[3] with the following change.
- Omit ligatures (e.g., є = ie, not i͡e).

Texts in the unmodified iazŷchiie, or "traditional Carpatho-Rusyn language" are transliterated according to the system for Rusyn. The Rusyn transliteration system is similar to the Library of Congress system for Ukrainian, with the following additions: ё = io; ы = ŷ; о̂ = ô; ѣ = î. In the Vojvodinian variant of Rusyn, the vowel и is rendered as i. One exception to the above principles is found in the entry Language, which uses the International system . . .
