[edit] Wow...

Just passing to congratulate all the effort that has been taken to make this article better. It's been a long time since I last visited it, and skimming through it I could see how much it has improved since then... Ciacchi 05:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Z

Now,I have a question which is kinda omited here. How exactly do they transcribe names begining or having Z as a part?

If the name (or any other foreign word for that matter) comes from a language using the latin alphabet, the z is retained.
