reason for deletion of article
=Deletion of old article=
===Previously===
'''Transliteration''' is the process of converting names and other words into another alphabet, without any attempt at [[translation]].
The [[Japanese language]] has transliterated many English [[loan word]]s:
*apartment => アパート (''a-pa-a-to'')
*Pocket Monsters => ポケモン (''po-ke-mo-n'') See: [[Pokémon]]
Some transliterations hardly change the pronunciation at all:
*radio => ラジオ (''ra-ji-o'') (RAH DEE OH)
===PROBLEM===
This is not transliteration. This is phonic adoption. See article for actual definition. Your last example was transliteration:
radio => ラジオ (''ra-ji-o'') (RAH DEE OH)
