See also WT:Old Ruthenian transliteration

Concerining spelling, the following practices are followed:

  • For /e/ use е instead of є or Middle Belarusian э.
    • Use є instead of е to show initial iotation or in a position after vowels.[2]
      • The letter е at the beginning of a word is used only in borrowings where there is no iotation.[3]
  • For /o/ use о instead of ѻ, , etc.
    • Use ѡ only in alternative forms to represent Middle Ukrainian /ô/ in the position after consonants.[4]
  • For /u/ use у instead of оу, or ѫ.
  • For /y/ use ы instead of .
  • For /i/ use и instead of і or ѵ.
    • Always use ї to represent /i/ before vowels and iotations.[5]
  • For /j/ use й avoiding и.[6]
  • For /je/ use є instead of е or ѥ.
  • For /ju/ use ю instead of ѭ.
  • For /ja/ use and ѧ instead of я or ѩ.
    • Use and ѧ as etymologically expected.[7]
      • Use where /ja/ originated from /a/ or any other sound.[8]
      • Use ѧ in Polish borrowings with a nasal /ę/.[9]
  • There should always be ъ at the end if the word ends in a consonant.[10]
    • The letter ъ is also used to separate consonants from subsequent iotated vowels.[11]
    • Don't use ъ (the same applies to ь) inside a word between consonants, in the position of Old East Slavic reduced ъ /ŭ/ and ь /ĭ/ if they were lost.[12]
  • Always use ѣ as etymologically expected.[13]
    • It is permissible to replace ѣ with и in entries of alternative Middle Ukrainian forms.[14]
  • For /g/ use кг for main entries and ґ in alternative form.
  • For /z/ use з instead of ѕ, , etc.
  • For /šč/ use щ instead of Middle Belarusian шч.
  • For /ks/ preferably use кс instead of ѯ.
  • For /ps/ preferably use пс instead of ѱ.
  • For /f/ preferably use ф instead of ѳ.
