ALA-LC Romanization
Tables (http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html)
Library of Congress Transliteration Tables are used in nearly all North American libraries to romanize bibliographic information from Cyrillic and other non-Latin alphabets. Included here are the tables for the Slavic languages which use Cyrillic - Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian and Ukrainian. The category "Non-Slavic Languages (in Cyrillic script)" includes the non-Slavic languages of the Caucasus and Central Asia to which the Soviets applied the Cyrillic alphabet - as well as Romanian when printed with Cyrillic letters (often called Moldovan), which was standard practice under Soviet rule.
