Romanization from Bulgarian (Cyrillic) to Latin and back.
Romanization is the process of transliterating a text in a non-latin based writing system into a roman system, based on 26 letters with or without diacritics (like â, č and ě). For romanization of cyrillic-based languages there are a lot of systems. These are the ones used for Bulgarian.

Transliteration/romanization systems used
- The 1995 streamlined system by L.L.Ivanov (the official one, also used by BG government).
This system does NOT use any diacritics, but it is not perfectly reversible: e.g. 'a' and 'ъ' are both transcribed as 'a'.
- ISO 9:1995 a.k.a. GOST 7.79 (2002)
This system uses diacritics like 'ž' and 'š' (so cannot be typed on a US keyboard layout) but is reversible.
- Scientific transliteration (1898)
This system uses diacritics like 'ž' and 'š' (so cannot be typed on a US keyboard layout) and is NOT reversible.
