The Brazilian translator Jorio Dauster informed me that the romanization of Chinese characters is called "pynin" ( but we have no idea on how this sounds). Would there be a special name for the transposition of characters in cyrillic?

If anyone's still interested, "Pninah" is Hebrew for "pearl".
I'm no expert, but I'd expect to hear it pronouncd it with a
bit of a schwa (in the original sense) after the p, so it's no
help with "Pnin". (Neither is "Up, Nina", as in my speech that
has an unexploded p, which I have a lot of trouble with at the
beginning of a phrase.)
