Tips

usage

Standard transliteration of 'Surrey' (and homophone-spelled foreign names like Sarri): 萨 (sà, 'Su-/Sa-') + 里 (lǐ, '-rrey/-rri'). 萨 is the default opener for English 'Sa/Su' starts (compare 萨克斯 Sax, 萨德 THAAD). Surrey is best known as commuter-belt for London; the University of Surrey is the major academic anchor.
