Visual International Transliteration, Hebrew

This page is a part of Vital Network

VITHEB-1.0

This Visual International Transliteration (VIT) implementation for Hebrew represents the modern Hebrew writing system, without punctuation (diacritical) marks. Each Hebrew letter is represented by a unique VIT symbol -- a combination of one (monograph) or two (digraph) Latin letters, regardless of their case. The second letter in digraphs is usually an H, but sometimes it is a J. Hebrew letters that change their shape when they are at the end of a word (sophiot) map to the same VIT symbols but the system uses correct shape for them. Additional VIT symbols are optional and may be used, whenever necessary, to reflect pronunciation of names and foreign words (loazit). They correspond to the base letters with diacritical marks in original Hebrew text. Letters that are not used currently (E I O U W) may be employed in future VIT implementation of Hebrew with punctuation marks and Biblical style Hebrew.
To learn more about general VIT principles, see VIT Introduction.
