That's why here we are using "Transliteration" whenever we're
sending something in Russian to a receipient who has no
Russian fonts available:-) This is a one-to-one translation of
Russian letters to the (sequences) of Latin characters. My own
full name will then become:
(in Volapyuk): Aleksandr Va`c`eslavovic` Kiselev
(in proper Translit): Aleksandr Wq^eslawowi^ Kiselew

Don't know Esperanto, but think you're wrong here:-) the first
"a" above should sound similar to German "Ja" (that is, as it's
common in many Latin-based languages, should be written as
two-dotted "a"). What for the second "a" above, it's pronounced
exactly as the English letter "R" is called, that is, "AR":-) So
either Esperanto is not so fonetic you think it is or you haven't
got the proper pronunciation:-))
