The following gives an overview of pages dealing with the romanization conventions for various languages in Wikipedia articles.

For more information, see Wikipedia: Naming conventions (use English); this, and the individual conventions cited below, are generally consensus among Wikipedians, and the central ideas, summarized in Wikipedia:Article titles, are policy.
