Loanwords are usually adapted without exceptions, like e.g. Polish ''zakład ''> ''zakvat ''"factory", or German ''Übermensch'' > ''ybermensj''. Foreign surnames from languages written in the Latin alphabet are usually however kept the same (except for a few personalities whose names are completely adapted, like ''Kristsafir Kolum ''(Christopher Columbus) or ''Jøna ið Ark ''(Joan of Arc)); names from other languages were formerly romanized into Wendlandish from their pronunciation (e.g. ''Лермонтов ''> ''Ljermantaf''), nowadays pure transliterations are preferred (e.g. ''Горбачёв'' > ''Gorbatjov'', pronounced either [gɔɐ̯baˈtʃɔʊ̯] or [ˈɣɔɐ̯batʃɔʊ̯]). | Loanwords are usually adapted without exceptions, like e.g. Polish ''zakład ''> ''zakvat ''"factory", or German ''Übermensch'' > ''ybermensj''.

====Cyrillic orthography==== | |||
There is an unofficial Cyrillic orthography for Wendlandish, mostly based on Russian, which was developed unofficially during Soviet times and is still commonly seen used by Soviet nostalgics. The Wendlandish Cyrillic is basically the Russian alphabet extended with the letters ө ү ҍ ҫ ҙ standing for Latin ø y æ þ ð. The letters ш ч ц stand for the Latin digraphs sj tj ts respectively. Russian words are usually never changed, even if they reflect sounds not distinguished in Wendlandish. | |||
