I know many languages, well not fluently, but I'm conversational in them each. I'm very big on languages, like it's pretty much the only thing I like studying. The only three languages I've been learning with different scripts so far are Russian, Greek, and Arabic.

Maybe I could transliterate some of you guys's names for practice. :P
Seems fun right?

All the transliterations below are just "GegenDenStrom" in different scripts (alphabets).

ГегенДенШчром
I have used standard Russian dialect here. That's the one I'll be using. I know for a fact that this would differ in Ukrainian Russian (namely the last word of my username). It would probably also differ in other languages that use Cyrillic, or even other dialects of Russian.

ΓεγενΔενΣτρομ
I'm not as confident in Greek as I am in Cyrillic, oh well. I really like it.

ككندنستزم
This is likely inaccurate because I just learned the alphabet. I find it a lot harder than the two above as well.

Your name is pretty short but I can transliterate it.

Cyrillic: Одст779
Greek: Οδστ779
Arabic: ودست779

Yeah, the number still goes the same way around when you do Arabic, haha. It doesn't change to 977. That wouldn't make sense. Just to clear things up, you know?

Have to do one at a time because Arabic goes left-to-right, meaning that it sort of confuses the keyboard, you know? Don't want it deleted. Don't want to do it all over again.

Another thing I should say is that these transliterations sometimes couldn't possibly be 100% accurate. Different languages, different letters, you know. Just sort of imagine your name said in a Russian, Greek, or Arabic accent. That's exactly what the transliterations are like.

For example, Russians don't have the "th" sound, so it would be replaced with a "d" (д), "z" (з), or "f" (ф) sound a lot of the time. Russians can pronounce it if they know English or some other language with "th" in it very well, but their alphabet simply can't produce the "th" sound. Know what I'm saying?

So yeah, the transliterations are pretty much your name in a bit of a different accent, and in a different alphabet.

The Cyrillic one would sound like "Far-sha-eh", Greek like "Far-shass", and the Arabic one would rhyme with eye.
