This template adds entries to categories such as Category:Chinese phono-semantic matchings. It should generally go in the Etymology section of a term. Phono-semantic matching is a special type of borrowing where existing morphemes are selected to match both pronunciation and definition of a foreign term.
Examples
[edit]- Chinese 康乃馨 (kāngnǎixīn):
{{psm|zh|en|carnation}}
- Hindi त्रिकोणमिति (trikoṇmiti):
{{psm|hi|en|trigonometry}}
