“Our national Chess team includes Vugar Heshimov (2759), Teymur Recebov (2733), Shehriyar Memmedov (2741)”. Is that the correct way to write these names in Azeri? Does anyone know?
The correct way of writing their names is unreadable for the most 🙂
They have their own writting (it’s not exactly cyrilic).
Transcription is of course different than we are used too, but those “standard” transcriptions are always made for english speaking people – combination of letters are used so that an english speaking person would read it as close to original as possible. If you would make a transcription for other language it would be different. So for Azeris this transcription makes perfect sence because they read letters differently. For example what, when an english speaking person reads the letter “e” it makes a sound that in my language would be written as “i”.
