Cyrillic transliteration of Tianjin

September 11, 2007 8:27 PM

Does anyone know the Cyrillic transliteration of the Chinese city Tianjin? (An acquaintance who's learning Russian really wants to know after an exhaustive Google search that turned up nothing.) Go forth, hive mind! Please. Thanks. :)

I see you've already got your answer, but my cheat for this kind of thing is to look it up in English on Wikipedia, and then check the sidebar for the language I want. More accurate than a dictionary, usually.
