Name (and merging)
Do we have a Russian reader who can tell us if the correct transliteration is Lyulka or Lyul'ka? Is it a hard or soft sign (ъ or ь) after the second л in Люльҝа?TSRL (talk) 22:00, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- I've been in touch with an English speaking Russian physicist colleague, who says the apostrophe looks strange and doesn't usually appear. He also says he would write the name as Lulka, without the y since Lyu is said bu.. Both l's are soft.TSRL (talk) 21:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Further discussions yield: the lyu is sounded closer to lu, as in lumen, with no y in it; but agreement that the standard though unhelpful way of Romanising it is Lyulka, no apostrophe and unsounded y. So a merge should in my view be into Lyulka not Lyul'ka. The articles surely need merging.TSRL (talk) 09:52, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- I've just been discussing this with one of our Profs of Russian, who points out there are several systems both of transcription and of transliteration. It turns out my Uni's preferred transliteration would give Lul'ka. But there are clear Wki guidelines at Wikipedia: Romanisation of Russian, and these give Lyulka as the soft sign is dropped in most cases, including here. It's a transcription scheme rather than a transliteration.TSRL (talk) 16:24, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
