Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Uighur etymologies

I don't think it's a very good idea to blindly copy etymologies into Uighur entries, especially from Bashkir. Bashkir entries often have an intermediate Kypchak form from older *something which stands for an older Bashkir form, which is not necessarily shared by Uighur. Pinging @Borovi4ok: as well.

It is indeed a very bad idea. I've corrected some of the ones copied from Turkish just now and wanted to say the same. Please don't do that. You didn't even change the language codes, so the Uyghur entries ended up in the category "Turkish terms inherited from Proto-Turkic". 90.186.72.23 22:44, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

IPA for كۈمۈش

Hey! Thanks for your Uyghur work. Do you know the IPA for the Uyghur word for silver? I ask because it is used as an English-language loan word here: Kümüx. I want to give the readers info about how to correctly pronounce the name of this place. Is there a way I can find this info myself? Thanks for any help or guidance you can give me.

Just ran into another one of your pages! ئۇزۇن Thanks for your work! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 04:21, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't know where to find the IPA of Uyghur words. --StudiousStanza (talk) 06:32, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Dungan

Hi! I noticed your Dungan work, and wanted to say some things.

1. What sources are you using? I am curious.
2. It is prudent to attribute Bible quotes, for doing otherwise is copyright violation.
3. Could you also mark the tone in {{head}}? Like хуәчә.

I'm using the dictionary Краткий дунганско-русский словарь. StudiousStanza (talk) 09:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Template:ko-noun

Hello, thank you for your contributions! When you add Sino-Korean words like 하수구, please use {{ko-noun|hanja=下水溝}} to generate complete header lines. Thanks in advance!--Tibidibi (talk) 15:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Vowel length

Thanks for adding lots of missing Sino-Korean words! But if possible, could you check a dictionary for prescriptive vowel length and other phonological details that need to be inputted in {{ko-IPA}}? See 단점 (danjeom) for an example.

Thanks in advance!--Tibidibi (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
