Description	The following is the approved romanization system for deriving standard spellings of Urdu geographical names for Pakistan. It was jointly adopted by BGN and PCGN at the 23rd BGN/PCGN Conference in Washington, DC, in 2007 and it is based on the Hunterian romanization system for Urdu, which has been used by the Surveys of India and Pakistan for romanizing Urdu geographical names for more than one hundred years. The BGN/PCGN system laid out below includes diacritical marks in order that the original script can be derived from the romanized form (i.e. it is reversible). For desk users requiring a diacritic-free form, these diacritics can simply be removed. In every case the same basic Roman-script characters are kept as are used in the Hunterian system. The BGN/PCGN forms have further been designed to harmonize with the BGN/PCGN Persian romanization system.
