lucifer sam 3,953 Posted April 30, 2009 Even the FIM on their site has his name spelled both ways......anyone know FOR SURE the correct spelling of his name? The correct way of spelling his name is in Russian and they have a different alphabet to ours. Therefore, both translations into our alphabet are acceptable.

AndyM 1 Posted April 30, 2009 The correct way of spelling his name is in Russian and they have a different alphabet to ours. Therefore, both translations into our alphabet are acceptable. All the best Rob Indeed so, the cyrillic alphabet. Just as Chinese and Japanese names are often translated with different spellings too, for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonkers 7 Posted April 30, 2009 It's weird - his own website spells it with a "y", and Wikipedia has a totally different spelling with an "i" !! Personally, I think the "j" looks best !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mateusz 0 Posted April 30, 2009 SAYFUTDINOV or the Polish version of this Russian surname - Sajfutdinow. Both versions are correct but only these two ones - not Saifutdinov or Sajfutdinov or any other combination of i,j,y,v,w But on the internet (on facebook and nasza-klasa.pl) Emil uses this first version, that's the one he's got in his passport.

Nonsense. Any translation from the Russian alphabet into ours is acceptable. You can't say certain translations are correct and others are not. It doesn't work like that.

It doesn't work like that. All the best Rob That is right....it is all down to the country and i would imagine the translator at times.......in britain they use "v" but in germany it is usually "w".......i can't see anything wrong with using an "i" instead of a "y" or "j".So Saifutdinov or Saifutdinow would also be correct translations.....but if he prefers one spelling then i guess that should be used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
