The -ye- or -e-, as pj1506 has indicated, is a sort of linking syllable (I'm not sure it can be called an ending).
In the light of pj1506's comment, I looked for something with -e- in the middle.

- you will see the name Ghazni in this link. As I understand it, this is the name of a province and a town. (I mention this just in case the name of the magazine needs to be translated).

So, in the light of Rachel's answer, "Neda-e-Ghazna" would seem to mean something like "The Ghazni Call" - not that you necessarily need to translate it.

Nedaye Gazna
Gazna is a city in Afghanistan largely inhabited by Tajiks. Tajik is relatively close to Persian. A Persian word which transliterates as "Nedaye" means "Call" ... which makes this a plausible name for a newspaper: "The Gazna Call."

But you might be better off asking this under the Farsi - English or Tajik - English pairs.

Alexandra Taggart
: "The Gazna Herald"-?

Thanks, Alexandra. I've even heard of English-language papers called "The Call." Luckily, James only needs to transliterate it, not to translate. So, I'm hoping that my guess might be what's needed, though it's hard to tell.

: And why would that be in Cyrillic?

Umm, many things in Russian articles are in Cyrillic. If I understood James's question correctly, he's translating from Russian to English, and his source has cited - in Cyrillic transcription - a magazine name which might be Tajik, or Dari, or Pashto.

Pierrick Jaouen, CFA
: I agree with your translation. "neda" is Arabic/Persian for "call", "ye" or "e" is called "ezafe" and is used to join 2 words..

Discussion
Tajik would be written with Cyrillic characters in Tajikistan.
On the other hand, as a native speaker of both Russian and (near native) Ukrainian I can suggest at least two translations for the above... neither of which makes sense as a magizin name.
Anyway, if transliteration is ALL that's needed, Rachel already provided it (correctly).
