Note on Transliteration Methods
Sometimes texts will appear with an option below them to transliterate them to Latin alphabet characters.The systems available are as follows:
- DIN - the Deutsches Institut für Normung standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Institut_für_Normung
- GOST - GOST 16876-71, a standard developed by the National Administration for Geodesy and Cartography at the USSR Council of Ministers.
- ISO - scientific transliterations developed by the International Organization for Standardization.

Notes
A j is sometimes added for clarity when two vowels are next to each other. For example: jeshchjo (rather than eshchjo) and mojikh (rather than moikh). Note also that the letter c replaces the more common ts, producing such words as serdce and car'.
