Evenki is a Tungusic language native to Siberia spoken by nearly 17 thousand people. It is represented by the language code evn. It is written with the Cyrillic alphabet.
This page describes the treatment of Evenki terms in Wiktionary entries, for readers and editors.
Spelling[edit]
The letter representing /ŋ/ is written ⟨ӈ⟩ invalid IPA characters (ӈ).
Long vowels are not represented in the entry name, but should always be indicated in the headword with a macron (e.g. ӈо̄ (ŋō)).
Entries and links[edit]
Main entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:
- Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
- Verbs: infinitive in -мӣ (-mī).
Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}} or {{alternative spelling of}}.
Romanization[edit]
Evenki Cyrillic terms are usually accompanied by an automatically generated Roman-alphabet transliteration based on an obsolete Evenki Latin alphabet.
