<span style="color:red>Generally speaking, the PFAN prefers to use current ISO romanization standards. These internationally-accepted standards normally make it possible for the user to reverse the romanization; automatic data processing is also possible.</span>
 +
 +
<span style="color:red>However, for some languages or scripts, it sometimes happens that no ISO standard is available, as in the case of Inuktitut, or that the relevant ISO standard ignores some essential linguistic elements or some important aspects of romanization, such as reversibility of the operation. For instance, the ISO transliteration table for Armenian does not include letters used with a numerical value; for this reason, the BnF table (used as a basis for the ISO standard) has been preferred. The following table shows which romanization standard has been chosen for each individual language.</span>
 +
 +
<span style="color:red>These were all individually selected; in each case, the goal is always to allow for a standard transliteration which is both reversible and as complete as possible. </span>
