Kyrlat

Python library for romanizing Cyrillic script according to the Finnish SFS 4900 standard:

• Supports Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian and Ukrainian.
• Handles capitalization (lower case, upper case and all caps) though abbreviations are capitalized incorrectly (e.g. "ЧК" is romanized as "TŠK" instead of "TšK").
• Removes diacritics used to mark stress (e.g. "Влади́мир" is romanized as "Vladimir").
• Handles Unicode equivalence (i.e. both composed and decomposed code points).

Installation

Yet to be released.

Usage

import kyrlat
kyrlat.romanize_ru('Влади́мир') # => 'Vladimir'
