I'm writing a paper on orthogonal polynomials and I have to cite results by Chebyshev and Cholesky. I found several and different transliterations from Russian. I wonder if there is a standard and accepted way to spell them. Thanks



Correct spelling of names, Chebyshev and Cholesky
[Here](http://www.forvo.com/word/%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%84%D0%BD%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87_%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%B1%D1%8B%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%B2/) you can hear the pronounce by a Russian speaking person.


As to the romanization, which usually does have a standard form in any language, I'd use the one of the language you are writing in your paper. In English it is [Chebyshev](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pafnuty_Chebyshev) (not Cheby\_ch\_ev). You can see the corresponding versions switching to other languages from the linked article in en.wikipedia (list of languages on the left).
