I tried to translate my name [Elizabeth] into Russian, but different translators gave me different answers. For one I got Элизабет and for the other I got Eлызабет. Which is correct, if either?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer Smile

Элизабет would be pronounced "Eleezabyet" and Eлызабет would be pronounced "Yelizabyet", but neither is correct. I can't show you the way Russians write their version of your name, because I can't figure out how you got the Cyrillic letters, but they pronouce their version of 'Elizabeth' "Yeleezavyeta" (as you can see, a 'v' sound rather than a 'b').

PM me if you can show me how to Cyrillic up my writing.

Thanks, I know it's pronounced differently. I can't help with the Cyrillic letters, my computer came with them....

Well, if you posted a set, I could cut & paste them to show you - in fact, you've already provided me with all but one that I'd need - it's a lower case letter, but looks like our upper case B.
