    Transliteration

    A transliteration system, which is primarily concerned with maintaining an unambiguous map between the source language and the target script so it can be reconstructed from the romanized text later if need be.
    This does not mean they aren't viable as romanization methods, but for ease of pronunciation a transcription system is the better choice.
    Some languages only have transliteration systems.
