Romanization: everything you need to know

As you probably already know, in our Writing Guidelines we typically invite users to transcribe lyrics in their native scripts, avoiding romanization.

This is because we already provide users with automatic romanized version of the lyrics in the "Translation" section.

Which languages are automatically romanized?

  • Assamese
  • Chinese
  • Greek
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Russian

What languages are not automatically romanized?

  • Bengali
  • Gujarati
  • Hindi
  • Kannada
  • Malayalam
  • Marathi
  • Odia
  • Nepali
  • Panjabi
  • Tamil
  • Telugu
  • Urdu

For these languages we recommend using romanization as the primary contribution type. The scripted languages can still be used and will be displayed as translations.

Can I contribute to the romanization?

Only Curators with a high rank can currently change the automatic romanized versions added by Musixmatch.

What if I don't see my language in this list?

We're always open to adding new languages to this list, so if you'd like to suggest one feel free to reach out to one of our Moderators on the Community Slack Channel.
