This is not correct. The "official" transliteration schemes for many
languages into English contain diacritical marks, especially for vowels.
The transliteration scheme that I learned for Hebrew (one that is generally
used) puts diacritical marks over the two letters that have the value
of "s," for example, so that the reader of the transliteration will know
which Hebrew letter was used.
