→What are the differences between romanization, transcription and transliteration?
Transliteration is the operation of converting a written unit (a character) of one writing system into a written unit of another system, independently of the pronunciation. The operation is carried out with the help of a conventional system that aims at the complete restitution of the original writing. This is called reversibility.

In the context of the NAPA, the aim is to romanise non-Latin scripts; this is done with the help of romanization tables, which use either transliteration, transcription or a mixture of both.
In the context of the PFAN, the aim is to romanise non-Latin scripts; this is done with the help of romanization tables, which use either transliteration, transcription or a mixture of both.
