The "Russian script" for English is a development of the earlier English cyrillization schemes of 2012 and 2015, but serves a different purpose. It is not intended to become an alternative to the current Latin script of English, instead tries to teach Anglophones the principles of the Russian orthography, and Russophones the pronunciation of English words.

The system is supposed to follow the Russian traditions of the way English words are rendered in Russian texts, while providing necessary information (which normally is lost) by means of diacritics. When read aloud with no regard to the diacritics, texts should sound like a stereotypical Russian accent.

The consonants and stressed vowels normally are represented according to their pronunciation, while the unstressed vowels according to their Latin spelling (A = А, E = Е, I and Y = И, O = О, U = У).

Duplication of consonants is kept when occurs between cyrillic vowels, and dropped in other positions.

Phonetically long vowels are accented (meal = ми́л)

Some sound/letter correspondences:

  • /ʌ/ = а: strut = страт.
  • /æ/ = э: trap = трэп.
  • /dʒ/ = дж: jeep = джи́п.
  • /ɛ/ = е (normally), э̀ (word-initial and after vowels): epidemic = э̀пидемик.
  • /ɜː(r)/ = ёр (normally), ӭр (word-initial and after vowels): fur = фёр.
  • /ŋ/ = нг: sing = синг, finger = фингер.
  • /θ/ = ҫ: ҫинк.
  • /ð/ = ҙ: ҙейр.
  • /w/ = ў (normally), в̆ (preceding the cyrillic У): will = ўил, wood = в̆уд.
