	Transliteration - Biocrawler
		Transliteration attempts to be lossless, so that an informed reader should be able to reconstruct the original spelling of unknown transliterated words.
		One instance of transliteration is the use of an English computer keyboard to type in a language that uses a different alphabet, such as in Russian.
		Transliteration from English letters is particularly important for users who are only familiar with the English keyboard layout, and hence could not type quickly in a different alphabet even if their software would actually support a keyboard layout for another language.

	Transliteration of ancient Egyptian
		In the field of Egyptology, transliteration is the process of converting (or mapping) texts written in the Egyptian language to alphabetic symbols representing uniliteral hieroglyphs or their hieratic and demotic counterparts.
		Because the exact details regarding the phonetics of ancient Egyptian are not completely known, most transcriptions depend on Coptic for reconstruction or are theoretical in nature.
		As important as transliteration is to the field of Egyptology, there is no one single standard scheme in use for hieroglyphic and hieratic texts.

		Transliteration is the practice of transcribing a word or text written in one writing system into another writing system or system of rules for such practice.
		Transliteration is opposed to transcription, which specifically maps the sounds of one language to the best matching script of another language.
		Transliterated text, often used in emails, blogs, and electronic correspondence where non-Latin keyboards are unavailable, is sometimes referred to by special composite terms that demonstrate the combination of English characters and the original non-Latin word pronunciation: Ruglish, Hebrish, Greeklish, or Arabish.

		To read Egyptian one used to have to be philologist, orientalist and cryptographer at once; readers today may thank 200 years' labor by Egyptologists from Barthelemy to Budge for the privilege of being able to read and study hieroglyphic texts much as one studies any foreign language.

		To the ancient Egyptians themselves, however, a mummy was not an object of curiosity but the focus of a complex burial ritual, and a fine statue made for a temple sanctuary was an object of worship, not a work of art.

	Transliteration and pronunciation of ancient Egyptian
		Transliterations are therefore often used to represent Egyptian writing.
		The transliteration gives the reader some idea of how the words may have been pronounced, but nobody knows how ancient Egyptian, in any of its historical versions, sounded.
		A great number of hieroglyphs are not represented at all in transliterations, being used as determinatives—pictorial qualifiers—rather than phonemes.

	Modified Isaac's Transliteration
		Transliteration is typing a language in another language's alphabet, or in phonetics.
		The pronounciation according to the transliteration is slightly different from the ecclesiastical pronounciation based on a theory of pronounciation, that he describes as both closer to original pronouncitation and easier in pronounication.
		The aim of the transliteration is not to substitute the original script but, rather to apply it as an easier alternative in daily usage, for reasons of generalization and catching up with fast growing cultures.

		Middle Egyptian was spoken from about 2000 BC for a further 700 years when Late Egyptian made its appearance; Middle Egyptian did, however, survive until the first few centuries AD as a written language, similar to the use of Latin during the Middle Ages.
		Coptic -- the Bohairic dialect is still used by the Egyptian Christian Churches -- appeared in the fourth century AD and survived as a written, living language until the fourteenth century AD; it probably survived in the Egyptian countryside as a spoken language for several centuries after that.
		Egyptian's basic word order is Verb Subject Object; where we would write "the man opens the door", Egyptians would say "opens the man the door".

		Likewise, the È and Ê¾ are commonly transliterated as a, as in Ra.
		The determinative of the plural is a shortcut to signal three occurrences of the word, that is to say, its plural (since the Egyptian language was familiar with a dual, sometimes indicated by two strokes).

		The Egyptians told me that he was the only son of him who first became king of Egypt, and that he died before his time and was honoured with these lamentations by the Egyptians, and that this was their first and only song.
		Ancient Egyptian music was based on a minor pentatonic scale of five full tones without halftones.
		Egyptian dancing may heve been influenced by the Nubian tradition, which became very popular in Rome during the days of the empire, and is still alive in parts of the Sudan today.

	Egyptian & Hebrew Sound Values
		Although the Egyptians had no "alphabet" as we currently understand that term, their writing system contained 24 signs that stood for single sound values.
		The decision to assign this Egyptian sound the value of 5 rather than 8 is primarily based on the fact that there are two more sounds in Egyptian that are even closer to the Cheth sound.
		It became interchangeable with T in later Egyptian, and a case could be made for counting it as an analogue of Teth instead of Tzaddi.

	Demotic Egyptian Input
		In support of its own research and publication efforts related to its many Demotic papyri, and to serve other papyrologists and Egyptologists, the Center for the Tebtunis Papyri is pleased to make available tools for entering ancient Egyptian transliteration in accordance with the Unicode standard.
		A list of the characters used in the two major transliteration schemes is provided in a draft document available here in PDF format.
		This input is specifically designed to be used with New Athena Unicode font (to be downloaded separately), since this is currently the only font that has the PUA assignments that the input assumes.

	Modern Egyptian Ritual Magick: A Note on Translation and Transliteration
		"Much sympathy is to be extended to the many interested persons who, in their various readings in Egyptian history, religion, and related subjects have been utterly confused by the wide disparity in the transliteration of Egyptian words and proper nouns.
		This was not done with ancient Egyptian, as Coptic, the last stage of the language, was written with an adaptation of the Greek alphabet, in which the vowels are part of the alphabet itself.
		Thus the word for 'good' or 'beautiful', which is spelled in Egyptian with the consonants n,f, and r, we transliterate NFR and we pronounce 'nefer'.
