Hypothetical Translations
If there's an Armenian word for Jyutping, could it be this? * --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 10:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And here's my guess for Georgian: * --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 10:31, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

No, we don't write in the middle of words. If I were to coin the Armenian word for, it would be. In Soviet times we transliterated everything through a Russian prism. So was, from Russian  [added "ь"], even though  is much closer to the original. We do not have enough educated people to devise rules for transliterating East Asian names. --Vahag (talk) 11:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Vahagn. And for Georgian: it would probably be *იუტპინი. is perhaps even closer, cf. English Pyongyang, Korean . Russian lost "ё" in the standard transliteration of Korean, which is, because it's unstressed and "ё" is stressed in 99% of cases.  --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 12:20, 22 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Anatoli. Why not *იუტფინი? Isn't Russian in  supposed to reflect aspiration. Georgian and Armenian can do it with a single letter. --Vahag (talk) 13:37, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, you're right. :) --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 13:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
