Scripts
The Sanskrit language has no single script associated with it. The system predominant in India historically in the written literature as well as today is Devanagari. Entries in the wiktionary may be in any of the scripts if there is usage; all words should have at least the Devanagari entry.
The same word in other Indic scripts may be referenced under the Alternative spellings header, see WT:ELE
The headword/inflection line should show the Devanagari or other Indic script, with the IAST transliteration in parenthesis, example at अश:
अश्व Lua error in Module:links/templates at line 57: Parameter 1 is required. (IAST aśva)
Likewise, in Translations sections, e.g. at horse (transliteration/transcription not specified):
- Sanskrit: अश्व (ášva) Lua error in Module:links/templates at line 57: Parameter 1 is required.
Transliterated entries
In English language publications Sanskrit is often romanized with w:IAST. This is the standard transliteration/romanization of Sanskrit for the English Wiktionary. Entries under transliterations or romanizations are not permitted unless multiple citations of use (not mention in dictionaries or texts about Sanskrit) can be provided. This is in line with Wiktionary policies for all other languages.
Other
In all respects, the entries should follow the WT:ELE style, there are no language-specific exceptions.
