A Cyrillization is a system for representing a language with the Cyrillic alphabet, where the source language use a writing system other than the Cyrillic alphabet (compare this to Romanization). Each Cyrillization has its own set of rules.

Here are several Cyrillization systems that are officially accepted in Russia:

• Cyrillization of Chinese from Pinyin
• Cyrillization of Chinese from Wade-Giles
• Cyrillization of Japanese
• Cyrillization of Korean
• Cyrillization of Latin script

A transcription system for the Cyrillization of English has been designed by the Bulgarian linguist Andrey Danchev.
