Romanization of Belarusian

Romanization or Latinization of Belarusian is any system for transliterating written Belarusian from the Cyrillic alphabet to the Latin.

Some of the standard systems for romanizing Belarusian:
* BGN/PCGN romanization of Belarusian, 1979 (United States Board on Geographic Names and Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use)
* Scientific transliteration, or the International Scholarly System for linguistics
* ALA-LC romanization, 1997 (American Library Association and Library of Congress)
* ISO 9:1995
* Instruction on transliteration of Belarusian geographical names with letters of Latin script, 2000
