===Spelling=== | |||
Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. In addition, for the parts of Romania that were under the Hungarian empire, the registers were often recorded in Hungarian. There were specific rules for how to convert Romanian names into Hungarian spelling (common names were often just translated): | |||
'''c''' → '''cs''' (ex. Cilip = Csilip) | |||
'''c''' → '''k''' (ex. Carp= Karp) | |||
'''ch''' → '''k''' (ex. Achim= Akim) | |||
'''j''' → '''zs''' (ex. Jeian = Zseian) | |||
'''s''' → '''sz''' (ex. Simeon= Szimeon) | |||
'''ş''' → '''s''' (ex. Şerban= Serban) | |||
'''ț → cz''' (ex. Anuța= Anucza) | |||
