Question

Can the word, "Romanizations" mean many different things?

Answer 1

Answer:

Not necessarely.

Explanation:

Romanization means to write or print something, such as a language from a different writting system, in the Latin alphabet. Although it could also mean "to make roman in character" or "to convert to roman catholicism", this is not correct in linguistics.

So no, Romanization does not mean many different things.

Answer 2

Answer:

Romanization or romanisation, in linguistics, is the conversion of text from a different writing system to the Roman (Latin) script, or a system for doing so. Methods of romanization include transliteration, for representing written text, and transcription, for representing the spoken word, and combinations of both.

Explanation:

Transcription methods can be subdivided into phonemic transcription, which records the phonemes or units of semantic meaning in speech, and more strict phonetic transcription, which records speech sounds with precision. Hope this helped slightly
