Wiktionary:Kannada transliteration
These are the rules concerning transliteration in Kannada entries.
General rules
[edit]- The transliteration scheme described here is the "scientific" transliteration scheme. It is used for all Kannada words on the English Wiktionary.
- Transliterations should be entirely in lowercase; don't attempt to apply English capitalization rules to Kannada transliterations.
- Diacritics remain basically intact; Kannada dots above and below, and lines above, become Latin dots above and below, and lines above.
- If you are not sure of the right transliteration, you can use
{{attention|kn}}to attract the attention of a more experienced Kannada editor.
