ISO 259-3


ISO 259 is a series of international standards for the romanization of Hebrew characters into Latin characters, dating to 1984, with updated ISO 259-2 (a simplification, disregarding several vowel signs, 1994) and ISO 259-3 (Phonemic Conversion, 1999).

ISO 259, dating to 1984, is a transliteration of the Hebrew script, including the diacritical signs (niqqud) used for Biblical Hebrew.

The dagesh (dot inside the letter) is always transcribed with an overdot: , ġ, ż, etc. The apostrophe (׳‎) in the table above is the Hebrew sign geresh used after some letters to write down non-Hebrew sounds: ג׳‎ [d͡ʒ], ז׳‎ [ʒ], צ׳‎ [t͡ʃ], etc.
