'''Romanization''' refers to the transliteration or transcription of a non-Latin word into Latin letters.  This may be done so that speakers familiar with the Roman alphabet may pronounce a word, or so that the word may be typed into certain computer systems (in some cases, email addresses and world-wide web URLs must be typed in [[ASCII]]).
    
For Japanese words, this process is called [[romaji]].  The primary systems of romanization include Hepburn, Nihon-shiki, and Kunrei-shiki.
