Sylheti is an Indo-Aryan language. Sylheti on Wiktionary is any instance of Sylheti in the Sylheti (Syloti Nagri) script.
Scope:
- English Wiktionary should have entries for all Sylheti words that exist in Sylheti language. The definitions and descriptions should be given in English. Title should be in Sylheti (Syloti Nagri) script.
- Sylheti translations of English words should be added to the Translations section of English entries.
Etymology
To enter etymologies, use {{der|syl|<langcode>|<term>}}, which langcode being the ISO code of the language. Other etymology templates are {{bor}}, {{inh}}, and {{cog}}; see their respective documentations.
Transliteration
Sylheti transliterations (that is, romanizations) are not words. Sylheti entries should only be written in the Sylheti (Syloti Nagri) script. So, ꠇꠥꠔ꠆ꠔꠣ (kutta) should only have the Sylheti entry – not kuttā.
Wiktionary uses Latin-alphabet transliterations of Sylheti words. See Wiktionary:Sylheti transliteration for more specific instructions on transliterating Sylheti (Syloti Nagri) for Sylheti entries. The transliteration is provided by Module:syl-translit.
Formatting Sylheti entries
- Read Wiktionary:EL for a more comprehensive guide, for all languages.
Nouns
For a model entry, see ꠇꠥꠔ꠆ꠔꠣ (kutta, “dog”).
Nouns follow standard practices as per WT:EL. For declensions, there is now only one declension template, {{syl-ndecl}}. Most of the time it is enough to just specify the gender, like this: {{syl-ndecl|<M>}} (for masculine nouns) or {{syl-ndecl|<F>}} (for feminine nouns). See the template documentation for more information.
Preferred order of sections
The part of speech section will often include simple translation(s) into English in place of definitions, but there may be subsections.
Following is the preferred sequence for these standard sections:
==Sylheti== ===Alternative forms=== ===Etymology=== ===Pronunciation=== ===(Part of Speech)=== ====Declension==== (for nouns, adjectives and pronouns) ====Conjugation==== (for verbs) ====Usage notes==== ====Synonyms==== ====Antonyms==== ====Derived terms==== ====Related terms==== ===See also===
