From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

This page describes the treatment of Western Yugur terms in Wiktionary entries, for readers and editors.

Orthography

[edit]

Western Yugur has no native written tradition and no officially supported orthography, thus most sources write Western Yugur in ad-hoc phonemic transcriptions. Wiktionary has adopted Lei Xuanchun's IPA based orthography to which all entries should be standardized. The table below elucidates difference between orthographies of several major sources.

[edit]

Main entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:

  • Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
  • Verbs: infinitive stem with a dash at the end.

Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}} or {{alternative spelling of}}.
