NAMES

  

LANGUST's transcription (LAFON) is used for correct phonetic reflection of the various names. Names are inserted into the text with use of a mark "~ " in the beginning of the name and in the end, and the name is also framed with brackets of that kind, which is required by a context. The mark (`) softens a sound which it precedes and the mark (") doubles the sound. The apostrophe (') is used for a designation of an accent and is put before the vowel. The phonetics for names is formed by lower case letters of the Latin alphabet, except for the first letter of the name, where the use of capital letters is supposed. The double letters form a new sound.

Certainly sounds may have a little bit different pronunciation in different languages, but these differences not so are essential for the majority of them, as it might be for some specific sounds of some languages. For these sounds are presented by double symbols and as it is visible from the table, it is possible still to add many such sounds. Thus, the pronunciation of lower case letters coincide with appropriate capital in LANGUST and double coincide only for vowels. It is necessary to put an accent, that is an important condition for a correct pronunciation of a name. Geographical names will sound in national phonetics.
