Krio (ISO code kri) is an English-based creole spoken chiefly in Sierra Leone. This page documents common practices and standards used across Wiktionary in entries for this language.

Orthography

[edit]

The standard orthography from Revised Kono, Krio, Limba, Mende, and Themnɛ orthographies (1984) should be used for lemmatisation. The list of graphs used can be found at Wikipedia. Krio is a tonal language and the tones should be marked in the headword line.

Spellings that do not follow this standard may be included if they are citeable. The format of an alternative spelling should look like this (from foh):

==Krio==

===Preposition===
{{head|kri|preposition}}

# {{alternative spelling of|kri|fɔ}}

Attestation

[edit]

As a language with limited documentation, only one use or mention is necessary to cite a term. If the validity of a term is doubted, WT:RFV can be used.
