Motivation

The transliteration scheme is based off on the official Evenki Latin alphabet used in the Soviet Union until 1938 as explained in Vasilevič, G. M. (1958) Эвэнкийско-Русский словарь (in Russian), Moscow: GIS, page 653, with the following changes:

  1. The distinction between ə and e is unrecoverable from Cyrillic spelling after d, ʒ, n, ņ, t, j and word onset because э and е are used to denote palatality or its absence (redundantly for t). The original Latin spelling made the distinction while here the э corresponds to ə and e to e in such cases.
  2. ш is represented by ş instead of s. Literary Evenki features ш exclusively in Russian loanwords and in speech merges it with s, however it's also featured in dialectal native vocabulary for which reason the distinction is here preserved.
