Abstract: "The Russian influence has been very strong in Azerbaijan. This has led to confusion when spelling names in English. To promote standardization, the staff at Azerbaijan International has set up general principles. To demonstrate this, there are four tablesSfor male first names, for female first names, for family names, and for place names. Each personal name table has about 100 entries each entry showing three formsSAzeri Latin, English through Azeri, and English through Russian. The name which is Hüseyn in Azeri using the Latin alphabet becomes Huseyn in translating from Azeri into English. It would have become Guseyn when translating from Russian into English."
