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. | 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.
