Notes
For the purposes of this table, texts written before 1454 are considered Ancient or Medieval Greek, and texts written after 1453 are considered Modern Greek.
The rough breathing ( ) is romanized h. When it appears with a vowel or a diphthong, the h precedes the romanized vowel or diphthong; when it appears with rho ( , ), the h follows the romanized rho (Rh, rh). The h is supplied as appropriate when the rough breathing does not appear in the Greek text (for example, when the text is in all capitals, or, in Modern Greek, when the text is in monotonic orthography). Exception: in Modern Greek, romanize / as Rh/rh only if the rough breathing appears in the Greek text.
Other diacritical marks, such as the smooth breathing, the coronis, acute, circumflex, and grave accents, and the diaeresis, as well as iota subscript and adscript, are omitted in romanization.
