Transliteration of Ukrainian

The system used is perhaps closest to the official system of Ukraine.

Despite several proposals for a Latin alphabet for the Ukrainian language, Cyrillic has remained in use. As this site is not designed for native Ukrainian-speakers, a system of transliteration from the Cyrillic is thus required.

For example, Сергій Ребров becomes Serhii Rebrov.
