Understanding Transliteration in Hebrew: A Guide to Correct Pronunciation

Transliteration is the process of converting a text from one script or writing system to another. For example, transliterating a text written in Cyrillic script into the Latin script.

In the context of the Hebrew language, transliteration is used to represent the sounds of the Hebrew letters using the Latin alphabet. This allows non-Hebrew speakers to pronounce the words correctly, as the Hebrew alphabet does not use the same sounds as the Latin alphabet.

For example, the Hebrew word "Shabbat" (שבת) would be transliterated as "Shabbat" in the Latin alphabet, which represents the sounds of the Hebrew letters: shin (ש), bet (ב), tet (ט).
