Welcome!
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 documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. 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.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.
 * If you have anything to ask about or suggest, we have several discussion rooms. Feel free to ask any other editors in person if you have any problems or question, by posting a message on their talk page.

You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage. This shows which languages you know, so other editors know which languages you'll be working on, and what they can ask you for help with.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is the way to note this. is for notes on the Mandarin pronunciation;  sounds more like a   IMO. (, any opinions?) —suzukaze (t・c) 05:33, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that the note should not be in the pronunciation section, but isn't "component variant" sufficient to say that it's only used as a component? Also, Cantonese muk6 seems out of place. It would be component variant of 目 instead. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:37, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

My Reply
This note is included for CJK Unified Ideographs characters that have a kMandarin or kCantonese pronunciation defined in Unicode but not found in any commercially available Mandarin dictionaries or national standards such as BIG5, CNS11643, GB18030. —KevinUp (talk) 06:03, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * But that doesn't mean we put the note in the pronunciation section, since it doesn't have much to do with the pronunciation. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:46, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * The note could be modified to "Pronunciation derived from 网" or "Pronunciation derived from 爪" for characters such as 罒 and 爫 —KevinUp (talk) 07:11, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I propose that the pronunciation entry be scraped altogether for such characters that are not pronounceable on their own and have common names such as 草字頭 for 艹， 絞絲旁 for 糹, 豎心旁 for 忄 and 卷字頭 for 龹 —KevinUp (talk) 07:11, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * A specially created box such as  to indicate that the character is only used as a component may be appropriate for Unicode characters that are not dictionary characters. —KevinUp (talk) 07:30, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I think we could keep the pronunciation section but have it contain the name of the character, i.e. 艹 would have Mandarin: cao3 zi4 tou2, and the rest of the entry would treat 艹 as a Chinese symbol instead of word. —suzukaze (t・c) 09:02, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Good idea. The pronunciation section could include the names of the character. —KevinUp (talk) 10:44, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Here are a list of symbols that I have come across: 亻 忄 扌 氵 爫 牜 犭 礻 糹 纟 罒 艹 衤 訁 讠 辶 釒 钅 飠 丷 龰 龴 龵 龶 龷 龸 龹 龹 龺 龻 𩙿. These are the ones that are (1) not found in dictionaries (2) mostly used as character components for ideographic description characters (⿱⿰⿵) —KevinUp (talk) 10:44, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Isn't 丷 a kwukyeol note, only found in Korean? Johnny Shiz (talk) 14:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Are you two going to add 亻 to the dānrénpáng pinyin page? If not, can we truly consider 'dānrénpáng' to be the 'pronunciation' of 亻? --Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 * No, because these are symbols, not actual lemmas or words that are used in the Chinese language. We could assign names to these symbols, but not pronunciations. KevinUp (talk) 12:24, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * I agree with your stance and have made some preliminary edits to 亻; let me know what you think. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 12:59, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Much better. Yes, we shouldn't add as the pronunciation of, because that is the  for , not . KevinUp (talk) 13:13, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * By the way, keep in mind that the pronunciations aren't just in Chinese, they're also in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Johnny Shiz (talk) 20:02, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

𩶻
Hey- I'm fascinated by the strange characters you are adding. Do you have a font that can display this character normally in your browser while on wiktionary? Right now it's just a box to me unless I search for it in a dictionary. Keep it up! Very cool. Thanks for any help! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 13:53, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi, I'm using the Hanazono font. You can get it from here: http://fonts.jp/hanazono/. It displays CJK characters up to . KevinUp (talk) 05:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * What browser do you use? For me, Extension F characters only display on Microsoft devices. Johnny Shiz (talk) 22:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Opera. Since the time I made that post in April 2018, I have become very familiar with various work-arounds to overcome the problem of not seeing the characters, so I don't even think about trying to display the characters anymore. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:27, 11 February 2019 (UTC) (modified)

Unihan regional codes in IDS
Hi, I don't think we need to include regional codes in the IDS if there is only one IDS. We only need them for distinguishing different IDSes. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:16, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi, I'm adding it to the translingual section based on the Unicode chart. It provides information where the glyph comes from. I added it so our readers can know the source of the glyph without going through the official unicode charts, which may be hard to download for those with a slow Internet connection and hard to navigate for those that are new to the charts. Since this is the translingual section, the information may also be useful for future editors to add sub-entries for languages that are not yet created or to remove entries for languages that may not be relevant. Also, this information is useful for characters that have various compatibility ideographs because many font manufacturers do not follow the Unicode standard. Here is an example of a proposed entry that might be useful to determine which glyph form belongs to which region. I hope that the wiktionary programmers can code an additional functionality in future so that when your mouse hovers over an area code it will explain what it means. For now I will not add any ids if the glyph exists across all six regions (GHTJKV). However, if the glyph is only for GHTK (such as ) or GTJV (such as ) this information may be useful for those that are studying the characters.
 * (radical 181 頁+4, 13 strokes, cangjie input 一山一月金 (MUMBC) or X一山一月 (XMUMB), ⿰厄頁( G, T for U+980B or T for U+2F9FE) or ⿰⿸厂巳頁( K for U+FACB) or ⿰⿸厂⿺⿱㇕㇐㇙頁( T for U+2F9FF))
 * Hi, this may be worth checking out: is provided by GHTK but a Vietnamese entry exists and the Korean entry is missing.

 * I appreciate your concern about the details of Han characters. However, this information does not belong in the IDS unless there are more than one IDSes to distinguish, like for 敢 or 角. We already link to the Unihan database, which should have the same info about the sources as the Unicode charts; these should be accessible even with slow Internet. While the regional sources are a good indicator for whether a character is used in the specified regions, they may not actually reflect actual usage in the regions. Many characters have a G source just because GB wants to include whole blocks for compatibility. On another note, many of the H glyphs don't actually reflect current standards in Hong Kong; the representative glyph is essentially the same as the T source glyphs. I'm fine with the info for 頋, but for 說 and 説, I'd prefer this to be in a usage note that describes actual usage. It's more complicated than what the regional codes say:
 * The G source has both characters because of what I've described above, but the actual standard would be 说 (説 as its traditional form).
 * In Taiwan, 說 is much more common than 説 in printed material; both are used in handwriting.
 * The current HK standard (HKSCS-2016) now includes 説, which is its actual educational standard, but 說 is still very common in publications and on computers.
 * While 説 is the current standard in Japan according to Jōyō Kanji, 說 was historically used in Japan as well.
 * (BTW, don't forget to sign after your comments with four tildes.) — justin(r)leung { (t...) 19:50, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi. Thanks for your reply. After going through the Unihan database I agree that the same information can be obtained from the external links provided. Also, after reading your detailed explanation of 說 and 説, I have to agree that the glyph sources may not necessarily reflect its current actual usage. I started adding this information because I thought it would become useful for more obscure characters such as those in the E and F extension blocks. I'll stop doing this in future edits and thanks for reminding. KevinUp (talk) 17:10, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the derived characters
Hey- thanks for adding the derived characters. When I study Chinese vocabulary, I sometimes like to compare the characters with characters that have similar components. I especially enjoy the rare characters you have added. thanks! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 04:51, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

 * You're very much welcome. The derived characters added to the translingual section may also include characters that were invented outside of China, such as Korean made Hanja, Japanese   and also Vietnamese . KevinUp (talk) 09:45, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Sycophantic praise; etc.
Whenever I look at a page, I can tell if you've been there or not- for instance, the 鈺 page- with one look, I knew that you must have made edits to that page. The tell-tale signs were all there: Derived characters, Related characters, Glyph origin, Usage notes- and a great work up of the definition! You are the editor I wish I was. I liked your interpretation of the character as a pictograph/phono-semantic compound; 汉字源流词典 says it is a ideogrammic compound/phono-semantic compound. Great stuff, just great! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 14:06, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Archiving of discussions
Hi. The top of request pages like "Requests for verification/English" have the following instruction: "At least a week after a request has been closed, if no one has objected to its disposition, the request may be archived to the entry's talk-page". Thus, do please leave closed discussions on the page for at least seven days before archiving them. Thanks. — SGconlaw (talk) 09:13, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the mistake, I'll take better note of this next time. KevinUp (talk) 09:15, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries! This was also pointed out to me by another editor some time back. — SGconlaw (talk) 10:18, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

⿰虫嚴
Hello! I couldn't find a rare character and I would like to ask if you can find it. I didn't see it here:, here: , here: , or here:. Baidu, jiu haishi buzhidao. The unfindable character in question seems to have the same Cantonese pronunciation as the 簷 in 簷蛇 (Jyutping: jim4), but the character is written with a 虫 on the left and with a 嚴 on the right: "⿰虫嚴". The character can be seen in 香港粵語詞典 on page 208, where it is used in the word "⿰虫嚴蛇". Any help would be appreciated! Please let me know if you look for it and can't find it. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 09:49, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If you can't find it or are not interested, then don't worry about it- I added ⿰虫嚴 to the jim4 page. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:20, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Wow. You seem to have stumbled upon an extremely rare character. For future reference, there's also which lists soon-to-be encoded characters (Extension G,H,etc), and  which lists derived characters under a certain component, and, ,  for extremely rare characters used for personal names. I've also looked up 《漢語方言大詞典》 (中華書局, 1999) to check if its a dialectal character. However, all these turned up negative. After googling "⿰虫嚴" with apostrophe marks, I found the character quoted here:
 * I'm not sure if the meaning above is same as that of "⿰虫嚴蛇". An image of ⿰虫嚴 can be found here: Anyway, today I found this:, another site to search for  rare characters. Here's another site:  (缺字系統), but no definitions are provided. KevinUp (talk) 17:13, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect use of inh
KevinUp, I noticed you incorrectly used inh. inh is only to be use in unbroken chains of inheritance. The proper template to use there would have been der. Please see the template page for further instructions and please, if you can, go back and correct any past edits. Thanks. -- 08:04, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Sorry, overlooked that one. I modified to  based on the previous statement . I found that herbage (plus 16 other French entries) and lealdade (plus 14 other Portuguese entries) also has this mistake. Shall I correct these entries as well? Those were done by other editors. KevinUp (talk) 09:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem. Yeah, if you see any examples of that in the areas you work, please amend. Also note that bor should only be used at the start of a etymology, so if you see entries to the contrary, please fix them as well. Thanks! -- 16:38, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems that up to 430 entries have instead of  (Search |en\|enm%2F here) Should these be automatically converted to ? There's also Category:English terms borrowed from Middle English and Category:English terms borrowed from Old English which uses  or  but most of them appear to be reintroduced terms. KevinUp (talk) 17:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Looking over those search results, definitely many should be converted to inh, but I wouldn't say automatically. All those particular borrowings appear fine. -- 18:21, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Using "鎮 / 镇" in zh-div
Hey- as I've been going through the towns of China, I've always thought it was strange that I would only add the traditional form of the name of the administrative division- '鎮'- and not add the simplified form- '镇'. Would there be a way to add both? Would this change even be desirable? Just a thought. (see Category:zh:Towns in China) --Geographyinitiative (talk) 14:33, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Would like your input too. I don't know who else would be interested in this topic. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 14:36, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * For example, '镇' does not appear on the 古驛 page- should it? --Geographyinitiative (talk) 14:38, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Regarding the simplified form, it seems that Suzukaze-c had a similar request in Nov 2016 (See Template talk:zh-div).
 * As for adding to  or creating a separate entry, this depends on how the town/village/river/geographical entity is cited in local news, publications or historical records. I think we should create entries based on its attestability, particularly how the locals refer to the place, and not based on listings found in statistical tables/government census/etc. My opinion is that if  and  refers to the same place, then  can be redirected to , similar to how  redirects to . However, if  is not used on its own, then this entry ought to be moved or redirected to  instead. KevinUp (talk) 16:19, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. Regarding the first issue, I left a message on the Template talk:zh-div page. Regarding the second issue, I have maps which list Mainland China locations without using 市, 县 , or 镇 , and Justin found some great examples that seemingly proved the attestability of the 頭筆 residential community recently- 社区 wasn't 'obligate'. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 18:40, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with the redirects you mentioned ( redirects to ). I usually don't actively make pages with the 市, 县 , or 镇 tacked on unless there's an ethnic minority area involved, in which case they don't redirect. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2019 (UTC) modified

sesaté
Do you know what the origin of the element se- in this word is? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  09:08, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * I think the element may be derived from a regional dialect, perhaps a form of Bazaar Malay. A google search of "sesate Indonesia" reveals that the word exists in the Balinese language and is a symbolic weapon used in some form of ritual represented by a type of food.      KevinUp (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Interestingly, although is currently listed as a descendant of, the Wikipedia article for sosatie suggests that  is of Cape Malay origin, from  +.
 * However, the origin of the Malay word is disputed. Most native Malay words have corresponding rhymes, but  does not rhyme with any other word. The Indonesian Wikipedia article for sate suggests that  is from a Tamil word, and is a type of street food invented in Java island during the early 19th century.
 * I'm not sure whether the Dutch version of or  contains any pork in historical recipes. If it does, than there's a strong Balinese connection, because the majority of Javanese people are Muslim and do not consume pork, unlike the Balinese people. KevinUp (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Linking as a descendants was my doing, based on the etymology of  having alleged a Dutch intermediate step. But that might be wrong, though I wouldn't rely on Wikipedia at all for this either.
 * I will look into the question about pork. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  15:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I found this while searching for "sesaté sosatie": http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/sate The second reference (Dialectwoordenboeken en woordenboeken van variëteiten van het Nederlands) suggests that the term "sateh" is from Javanese sateh, originally Tamil sataj, but I'm not sure about the original spelling in Dutch/Javanese/Tamil.
 * As for English or Afrikaans, I think it is likely to be derived from Dutch +  rather than . KevinUp (talk) 17:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Whether it is strongly linked with pork is a little hard to tell, but seems like it isn't in the earlier results.
 * Van Wyk (Afrikaans etymological dictionary) gives a Indonesian Dutch or Malay origin from sesate(h), sateh. The oldest word list (ca. 1880) gives sassati, with sosatie appearing in the early 20th century. I don't think the compound is likely at all, because then one would expect stress on the first syllable (the Afrikaans is stressed on the second syllable). The form sausati appears once in a word list from 1899, which seems secondary. Forms like sasaté also appear a few times in Dutch. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  08:54, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The link from Algemeen Nederduitsch-Maleisch Woordenboek seems to suggest that sasaté has a Javanese origin. Anyway, as mentioned above,  isn't a native Malay word, due to lack of corresponding rhymes. I found the Javanese spelling  on Javanese Wiktionary. Someone else will have to check whether  exists or not. KevinUp (talk) 09:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, ascribing it to Malay and stopping there is not useful. I have added another unspecific step to the etymology and changed Malay to Indonesian. Does the Tamil origin seem plausible to you? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  10:05, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the previous edit where is stated as "from Dutch  or directly from Malay " is good enough. We might be dealing with two different etymologies: (1) Dutch  from a Javanese or Balinese word and (2) Dutch  from a type of street food, presumably based on Betawi (Jakarta Malay dialect), from Tamil.
 * However, the origin of the word is disputed, so I think it would be better to exclude the Javanese/Balinese or Tamil origin and revert to the previous edit. KevinUp (talk) 11:12, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * On an unrelated note, I think we have to be careful about converting Malay to Indonesian since technically Indonesian did not exist before its independence in 1945. Prior to independence, there's Malay, spoken in the vicinity of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate, and also the Betawi language, a dialect/creole of Malay spoken in Jakarta. Modern colloquial Indonesian, although based on Riau-Lingga Malay, is significantly influenced by Betawi, because of the position of Jakarta as its capital.
 * I think we can use "Malay" for the etymology of Dutch, because "Betawi" is a direct descendant of Malay. A historical dictionary for Betawi (Batavia/Jakarta Malay dialect) to Dutch might be useful for us to identify such words. I'm reminded of Dutch , which might be from Betawi, rather than Malay or Indonesian. KevinUp (talk) 11:12, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Is 1945 used as a cutoff point for Indonesian? Isn't there continuity with the variety of Malay used by the colonial administration though? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  14:59, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The cutoff point for Indonesian can be taken as 1928, when the Youth Pledge (Sumpah Pemuda) was made by young nationalists who proclaimed "bahasa Indonesia" as the language of unity. The chosen language was based on the standardized form defined by the late Ali Haji bin Raja Haji Ahmad (1808-1873), who wrote Kitab Pengetahuan Bahasa, the first monolingual Malay dictionary in the region based on the Malay dialect of Johor-Pahang-Riau-Lingga.
 * As for the language used by the Dutch colonial administration, Malay was designated as the second official language in 1865, but was later removed as an official language in 1932 due to the prominent rise of nationalism. This language is probably the same language standardized by Ali Haji bin Raja Haji Ahmad.
 * I think it is important to identify when a "Malay" word was first attested in the Dutch language. From 1641 to 1825, the Dutch occupied Malacca (present day Malaysia), so words from that time period is "Malay". However, words borrowed during the time of the Dutch East Indies (1800-1948) could also be Javanese, Balinese, Sundanese or some other creole of Malay, such as Betawi (these four languages are spoken on Jawa island).
 * To be safe, Malay words based on Riau-Lingga can be searched here: Kitab Pengetahuan Bahasa (romanized in Indonesian) or Puisi-puisi Raja Ali Haji (romanized in modern Malay). KevinUp (talk) 03:57, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

 * In the Malay language, when the prefix is used before a noun, it usually means "one" or "the whole/the entire". However, I've never heard of the term "sesate" used for the sense "one satay" or "the entire satay". The grammatical form to refer to "one satay" is "secucuk sate" (a skewer of satay) while "entire satay" is "seluruh sate".
 * As stated in the entry for, the "one" sense is from a shortened form of while the "whole/entire" sense is a clipping of . I don't think the element se- in  is derived from Malay or Indonesian though. KevinUp (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: It seems that the se- element may be a reduplicated form of in the Balinese language.  (from ) KevinUp (talk) 02:01, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In this word, I would rather based on partial reduplication of saté and means as a plural form of saté which written as saté-saté. The example of this is the pair of and  in Indonesian/Malay. Xbypass (talk) 16:25, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Question
How can I resolve it if I can't see some han characters? It seems like square. --Dingyday (talk) 14:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * If everything else fails, copy-paste it into the dictionary at to ctext.org or zdic.net --Geographyinitiative (talk) 20:37, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * To view Han characters that cannot be displayed, you have to install a font such as the Hanazono font, which has the best coverage . If you're using a mobile browser, you can copy the "square" character to http://ko.glyphwiki.org/wiki/GlyphWiki:대문 KevinUp (talk) 21:16, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * By the way, almost all hanja are viewable in modern browsers. Only 56 hanja for personal names (인명용한자표) are encoded in the extension set of CJK Unified Ideographs, so these characters will need font support to be viewable. KevinUp (talk) 21:16, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

The font which I have displays all Hanjas except two letters; and. If I use Hanazono Font, it displays all Hanjas, but Hangul is separated and printed, So It is uncomfortable. --Dingyday (talk) 14:54, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting. May I know the name of the font you are using that can display all Hanjas except two letters? The Hanazono font is more suitable for Japanese systems, which is why the Hangul appears to be separated. I think you can uninstall the Hanazono font, because most of the "square" characters on your system that cannot display are not hanja. They are mostly obsolete characters found only in historical Chinese dictionaries and Vietnamese . KevinUp (talk) 15:34, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

 * is now the same as, thanks to a recent update by User:Suzukaze-c.
 * Use for hanja definitions.
 * Use  for hanja compounds and    for derived terms of Hangeul (see example for Hangeul here) - the formatting and template used is different because hanja uses more server memory and needs to use a low memory template.
 * For hanja compounds, you can sort the compounds manually (based on word length, word order) because cannot sort the compounds automatically.
 * Don't add which is a derived term of  at the page for, add  as a derived term at the page for  instead.
 * No need to add the English definition for each hanja compound in unless it's a red link.
 * Overall, an important concept is to reduce duplication of the same content at different places. KevinUp (talk) 14:01, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Okay, I'll copy the format. Thanks. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 14:10, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Why did you add strange symbol next to the middle Korean word? There is no such thing in naver.com dictionary. For example, 치〯 and 니〯. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 07:10, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * These are not strange symbols but tone marks used in Middle Korean. See this article for more information. HMJE 1-1.svg KevinUp (talk) 07:22, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * I know that it's 방점, but did you have any discussions with other users about adding them? Because in other dictionaries, 방점 is not shown and I think it's unnecessary to show it in wiktionary. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 07:24, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * May I ask why you are doing this all of a sudden? Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 07:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * If you look at other electronic dictionary websites, such as naver and daum, there is no tone shown next to middle Korean words. So I think it's right to follow this convention. Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 07:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * The reason why is not shown in other dictionaries is because older computing systems (especially those using KS X 1001) were not able to key in these symbols prior to the availability of 〮  and 〯  in the Unicode block known as CJK Symbols and Punctuation., any ideas on how to handle 〮  and 〯 ?

 * The reason I am doing this is because there are words in Middle Korean such as  which is not the same as  . Latin has a similar situation with long and short vowels, e.g.    which redirects to  [[satus ]] without the long vowel symbol rather than satūs.
 * Yes, should not interfere in linking  to . One method is to use  or to ask some of our expert programmers to help modify the  template to handle the redirection. KevinUp (talk) 08:15, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * What about these Middle Korean? appear to be omitted in mainstream Korean electronic dictionaries. Are you planning to add them also? Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 08:28, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * I deal mostly with entries or information that are related to hanja or Chinese characters, so I don't plan to add these Jamo as I am not familiar with them. now links to  so the issue is resolved. KevinUp (talk) 08:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * 齒 in hangul is 이 in both North and South Korea. Why did you put 니,치 for North Korea? Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 09:26, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * I've fixed it. I became confused after reading the previous statement regarding which affects native Korean compounds of  and not the hanja . KevinUp (talk) 09:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Middle Korean First attested format
So have you reached a consensus in your proposal at Beer Parlour regarding Middle Korean entry?? Should I follow this style from now then? Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 15:28, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * In the Beer Parlour discussion, Suzukaze-c and Metaknowledge supported creating actual entries for Middle Korean whereas DTLHS thinks that they should be added as quotations.
 * The format is the standard format used in the etymology section of many languages, so there shouldn't be a problem with it.
 * Because we currently lack an expert who is familiar with Middle Korean, it will take a while before someone creates proper entries for Middle Korean. (See here for entries that were previously deleted in 2014). In the meantime, feel free to create citation pages for Middle Korean lemmas.
 * Existing information has been migrated here so that other users can view it. Yes, you may use either this or this format for the etymology of native Korean words. You can comment out the old format so that it remains searchable. KevinUp (talk) 16:10, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 * OK. Thanks. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 16:24, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Can I use this format instead for Middle Korean first attested format?
For example, in here https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%EC%8B%A0&oldid=54280404, clicking 신 in etymology 3 does not lead to separate page that deals with quotations, descendants, etc unlike English pages. Then, the new format obviously hides information from users and looks even worse than before to me. Sincerely, B2V22BHARAT (talk) 19:47, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think 신 has any descendants, unless that sense has been borrowed into other languages. You can still add Korean quotations for 신 as long as the quotation is from 17th century onwards (corresponding to the period where Modern Korean begins) and not written in Literary Chinese. Please don't confuse the Korean language with the Middle Korean language because these are treated as separate languages on Wiktionary, e.g. compare Category:Middle French lemmas and Category:French lemmas or alphabet and alphabet which has identical meaning but separate entries. If you want to add quotations from 訓民正音解例 / 훈민정음해례 (1446) you may add it to 신 but not at 신. And as I've mentioned above, some Middle Korean entries were deleted in 2014 (see Appendix:Middle Korean deleted entries) so if you are interested to add quotations from 훈민정음해례 you may add it to Citations:신 instead using a format similar to that found in Citations:잡다 (Note that 重刊老乞大諺解 / 중간노걸대언해 is a 1795 republished version of 노걸대 / 老乞大 that was originally written using 15th century Middle Korean). KevinUp (talk) 20:18, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your explanation. I will look into it. Citations:자다 and Citations:븓잡다 https://ko.dict.naver.com/#/entry/koko/b53b26873d8345c78429c29bbd9b92e1 B2V22BHARAT (talk) 20:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

First attested format for Middle Korean after 17th century
If you see this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Korean#Middle_Korean, it is stated that Middle Korean corresponds to 10th to 16th centuries. Then, how do I make the first attested format for Middle Korean terms that were first attested after the 17th century? For example,. was first attested in 박통사언해 in 1677.

Can you make one? B2V22BHARAT (talk) 10:58, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Yes, I've updated the entry for . Note that 박통사언해 / 朴通事諺解 (1677) and 중간노걸대언해 / 重刊老乞大諺解 (1795) were both originally written by (1468-1542) in Middle Korean but has been modified and republished many times. Some portions of these two books may be written in Middle Korean. Since  is not attested elsewhere, it is clearly a Modern Korean word used to explain and annotate the hanja in the text.
 * As for creating an entry for using the "Korean" header I would advise against it because there is still no ISO 639-3 language code for Modern Korean  yet. This means that Wiktionary will have to create its own language code to have proper templates and categories. For example, I'm using  for the transliteration of  but this is actually incorrect. This is a technical issue that has to be solved some time in future. If you're interested you can still create a citations page for Citations:ᄲᅩ죡ᄒᆞ다 rather than creating an actual entry for it. One more thing, I think it is redundant to use  for the etymology of 신 because the Middle Korean word has the same spelling as its modern form. If there are different spellings across different time periods then  would be more useful.
 * What are your thoughts on Modern Korean ? Would you consider it as a separate language that deserves its own section, or should it be merged under a unified "Korean" header? I would prefer it to be separate because of differences in orthography. KevinUp (talk) 14:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I think that Modern Korean is different from Middle Korean and should be distinguished. I'm going to use the same format, then. Thanks for the information. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 14:41, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Questions about etymologies
First of all, thanks for your update of kongsi. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  10:25, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) I was curious what the reasons were for deciding that  was borrowed from Malay. (A borrowing from Indonesian is, by the way, impossible. The Dutch word first appears in the late 18th century.)
 * 2) Do you know if  is commonly pronounced without a ? I wonder whether  was borrowed from a lect that used a different phone, perhaps.
 * 3) Finally, this is a very random hunch, but do you know whether Indonesian and Brunei Malay langit-langit was in some way influenced by  (or maybe )? Dutch ge-...-te often denotes collectives which could explain the reduplication and the meanings "palate" and "roof, ceiling, canopy", while frequently coinciding or represented by related words, are not often associated with "sky" or "heaven", except apparently in Russian, Armenian and Ukrainian.

 * Regarding Dutch, the original sense from  is "clan hall (benevolent organization of overseas Chinese of the same origin)". Because clan halls often restrict membership to exclusive groups of people, e.g. gender restrictions, people with the same surname, people from the same hometown, the sense of the word in Malay has evolved to mean "group of people with a common motive", most notably in the compound word  and this is reflected in the Dutch sense "clique, coterie". Because this sense is absent from Min Nan or other Chinese varieties (the modern sense is "company, firm, corporation"), the borrowing of this sense into Dutch via Malay is a plausible one.
 * in modern Indonesian is definitely pronounced with a "k". Note that the first syllable of the original word in Min Nan, is pronounced as  by Min Nan speakers. The glottal stop, which is commonly found as the last syllable of a word in modern Malay and Indonesian is usually written as "k". However, the glottal stop would be pronounced as  instead if it occurs in the middle of the word. For example, compare Malay   and  . Hence, Dutch  may be a direct borrowing from Min Nan, rather than a borrowing from Malay or Indonesian, because  at the end of the first syllable would have been converted into  in Malay or Indonesian.
 * No. I don't think Malay (also written as, from ) was influenced by Dutch. There are other coincidences, such as Japanese , from  + . Compare also Korean , from  + . The Korean word for palate is intriguing because it is derived from the word for ceiling, which is derived from the Sino-Korean word for sky . According to Robert Blust's Austronesian Comparative Dictionary, the sense for "palate; canopy" is derived from  . Among these cognates, Balinese, Karo Batak, Tabo Batak and Wolio uses the same word, "langit-langit" for the sense "canopy, palate". It is fascinating to see how the three senses "sky, canopy, palate" is similarly associated in different language families. KevinUp (talk) 15:52, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your answers, they're very informative. I'll update the etymology of to include the possibility of it having been borrowed from Min Nan. ←₰-→  Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  06:53, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Additional note for point 2, in the case of , it is must be differentiated between and . However, it is partially true. The glottal stop would be pronounced as  instead if it occurs in the middle of the word and followed by a vocal as the example of Indonesian/Malay  and . However, it does not change when it followed by a consonant and it became unreleased. So, Indonesian  will be pronounced as  or  as the Min Nan source. Another example for this rule is  which be pronounced as . Xbypass (talk) 16:41, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. I had overlooked this feature because words with medial  followed by a consonant are uncommon and only occur in loanwords. By the way, I noticed that some speakers pronounce as  similar to the Arabic pronunciation of  which lacks a glottal stop. KevinUp (talk) 19:28, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Late to the party, and from the sidelines -- re: 🇨🇬, I see Polynesian cognates in 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. See too 🇨🇬, from 🇨🇬; also 🇨🇬 meaning both “sky” and “canopy”.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 01:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting. So the relationship between "sky" and "canopy" is also found in European languages. Thanks for sharing! KevinUp (talk) 21:30, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Compare also French: and  (both from ). Canonicalization (talk) 22:30, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Prior to this I've only heard of and  in French. Since French  is derived from Latin, the pattern I can infer here is that something wide or large, e.g. sky/canopy/vault/palace is linked to the word for palate (roof of mouth) in several languages from different language families.

Ordering of derived characters
Hey- I just did a preliminary version of the derived characters section for the 帶 and 林 pages, and I had a thought about the best way to order derived characters in the translingual section. I would suggest ordering them by their inclusion in CJK Unified Ideographs (etc.) from earliest to latest. I don't have any idea how this could be done quickly and efficiently, but it does seem more ideal than ordering characters by the stroke order of one side (probably according to Kangxi Zidian's stroke orders in the case of the above two examples).

I had another related thought as well- I think what we are doing by linking the 木 in the Han character section on the 林 page to the page Index:Chinese radical/木 where the characters are ordered by alleged stroke order (by which standard?) is to imply that the stroke order standard used there is "translingual", which it probably is not in many cases. That would seem to be "not good" to me- you can't pretend that there aren't different stroke counts and orders between the different traditions in Asia. Again, I would suggest some kind of "unicode-order". Not to say that the current stroke count ordering is bad- that aspect could be kept and used for each individual language/tradition. But we don't want to give readers the impression that essentially non-translingual stroke counts are translingual (IMO).

Let me know how this hits you. Thanks for your work here. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 03:16, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

 * If it is more convenient for you to include the derived characters based on Unicode stroke number you may do so, but please do not reorder or rearrange existing derived characters that are sorted based on radical position (left/right/top/bottom) followed by stroke number to stroke number only. The twice-sorted format is much more time-consuming so if you don't want to use it, you can use the single-sort format first and I'll sort it eventually to the double-sort format which is more of a hassle but makes things clearer at a glance.
 * The character order at Index:Chinese radical/木 is based on the stroke number defined by Unicode. The problem with Unicode's stroke number is a computing issue, because different people would count different stroke numbers for the same character depending on the font they are using, yet Unicode arbitrarily assigns a single stroke number to characters that have different stroke numbers based on different standards. If you are not pleased with the arbitrary stroke number used by Unicode and would like them to choose a fixed standard rather than an arbitrary standard you can write an email or send a proposal to the Unicode Consortium.
 * Once again, please do not reorder existing derived characters sorted using radical position followed by stroke number to the single sort method using stroke number only. You can use stroke number if it is quicker for you but me (or someone else in future) will sort it eventually to the position+stroke number. Some radicals such as can be counted as three or four strokes but is fine to use either one as long as some consistency is maintained within the same list of derived characters. KevinUp (talk) 04:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

 * (chiming in...)
 * "...ordering them by their inclusion in CJK Unified Ideographs (etc.) from earliest to latest."
 * That sounds very user-unfriendly. How are users supposed to know when a given glyph was included in the Unicode standard?  That's an entirely arbitrary sorting criterion, and it's impossible to derive from the character itself.
 * At least stroke order, with or without radical, is something that users can figure out from the character. Even if a given character has different stroke counts in different traditions, the count won't be off by much, so the user has a good chance of finding things through a little persistence.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 01:05, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

 * I was also confused by the statement "order of inclusion from earliest to latest". After checking the edits at 帶 and 林, I noticed the characters were arranged by stroke number first, followed by Unicode order (main block followed by Extension A/B/C/D/E/F). Although this arrangement is easier and quicker for editors to add, it will take slightly more time for our readers to search for the character they are looking for because the order of inclusion of these characters in Unicode is arbitrary and not arranged in a predictable manner. For example, if someone is looking for ⿰言林 they will still need to browse through much of the list. However, if it's arranged by radical position (top/bottom/left/right) followed by stroke number, it will take less time because they can ignore characters with a different radical position. Anyway, there is no right or wrong way on how to arrange these characters. It also doesn't matter if there are slightly different stroke counts between different regions, because the main purpose of listing derived characters is for users to (quickly) search for uncommon characters with uncommon formations.

Some editors have added these, but there is no consensus to categorise them as we do actual words for organisms. I generally remove them, as they don't serve a purpose.

masculine sound plural
Hi, a feminine noun cannot form its plural using the masculine sound plural. Yet, the first vowel changes into كسرة, so I'd like to add the explanation for this in the entry. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:54, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is simply not true. Feminine nouns can have masculine sound plurals, and masculine nouns can have feminine sound plurals. --WikiTiki89 18:28, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, is that true even without any change at all in the form from which the plural is made? Could you offer a couple of examples of each please? Because in this case the first vowel changes into كسرة.
 * It's more common for masculine nouns to have feminine sound plurals than the other way around, so I don't know other examples of feminine nouns with masculine sound plurals (but they may exist). But has plural,  has , etc. --WikiTiki89 18:47, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is grammatical norm. Yet the base form from which the plurals are made remains exactly the same, unlike in this term in which the first vowel changes into كسرة.
 * Here's one: has both plurals  and . --WikiTiki89 19:56, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. I'd like to know how you managed to find it, since there's no category for "terms using both msc. and fem. plurals". --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:12, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I just browsed through Category:Arabic nouns with sound masculine plural and saw a word with ة. --WikiTiki89 20:14, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Certainly, it seems the only exception. Do you know where in wiktionary sobody could confirm whether this is true? --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:20, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I mean whether both are actually heard today, whether in 'MSA' or native dialects. --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:26, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Just because it's the only exception in Wiktionary, doesn't mean it's actually the only one. You'd have to ask a native speaker about actual usage, I have no idea. --WikiTiki89 20:35, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Traianus

First Syllable Weight
This should probably be [trajˈjaː.nʊs] and not [traːˈjaː.nʊs]. In most cases of intervocalic I it represents a double [jj] (see W. Sidney Allen, Vox Latina), so in such cases vowel length cannot be determined from syllable weight. Unless there is an explicit ancient description of the quantity of the first vowel of this name, it is best to keep it ambiguous. Here, I would suggest writing it short to keep things practical. 109.123.31.174 17:04, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Alt parameters
I thought my implementation of  parameters did work – at least in bhukuda. Where wasn't it working? — Eru·tuon 18:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Your code assumed that  and   should be paired, which is not necessarily the case. —CodeCat 18:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You mean lua. That's the way other templates with numbered parameters, such as, work. What is a case in which it would not hold true? I thought lua was only for terms. — Eru·tuon 18:58, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, 2 not 1. A case where it would not hold true is: . Note that  is missing; by default any holes in the numbering are removed, so   is "y", not "x"! —CodeCat 19:04, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That's why I specified lua in the  table. That solves the problem. — Eru·tuon 19:06, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Not quite. Because what if someone then writes ? —CodeCat 19:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Then they would get an error because parameter  is required. — Eru·tuon 19:10, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's wrong. They would just get a prompt for a term: [Term?] . — Eru·tuon 19:13, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * You want  to be , and   to be  . The problem is that your code uses  , which expects tables without holes. It literally starts from 1 and counts upwards. But since there is no  , the loop terminates right away. This is noted in the documentation of Module:parameters:   does not play well with functions that expect tables without holes. That's why   exists. —CodeCat 19:19, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, well, I think having error messages for empty terms is useful. It is not desirable to have instances of a nyms template with [Term?] prompts. So I would like to combine the use of  with the error message for missing terms. — Eru·tuon 19:32, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Why would it not be desirable? —CodeCat 19:35, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Unless there is a purpose for an empty term parameter in an entry, it's useless, and useless things are undesirable. — Eru·tuon 20:05, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not useless in, so whatever motivation applies to it applies here too. —CodeCat 20:07, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Testing for singular and plural

 * would it be possible to update the module so that it operates as follows?

 * If a template has multiple parameters, e.g.,, then display "Synonyms:".
 * If a template has only one parameter, e.g.,, then display "Synonym:".

— SGconlaw (talk) 09:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Of course, done:

 * Great, thanks! — SGconlaw (talk) 23:54, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Suggested tweak
, currently the template displays "Synonym" if there is only one term, which is correct. I think it might be useful to be able to use the template (and, of course) with thesaurus links as well, like this:. If you think this is a good idea, would it be possible to tweak the template so that if the only entry is a thesaurus link that begins with  the template displays the word "Synonyms"? — SGconlaw (talk) 15:26, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Or, just thinking aloud, another possibility would be for the template to be able to achieve the following:

 * → " Synonyms: see Thesaurus:happy"
 * → " Synonyms:, , ; see also Thesaurus:happy"

— SGconlaw (talk) 15:29, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I like your last idea more. The module can figure out whether something is a term or a Thesaurus link based on the prefix. It would make the format more universal. There are a few details to work out though:
 * What if the Thesaurus link isn't the last one in the list?
 * The module allows you to specify qualifiers, alternative display forms and transliterations for each of the items. What happens when someone specifies these for a Thesaurus link?
 * —Rua (mew) 17:31, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it makes sense for the Thesaurus link to always be the last item in a list. I don't know if this can be done automatically by the module – seems like that might be complicated. Maybe we just have to put a note on the appropriate template description pages to tell editors to do so. Qualifiers, alternative display forms and transliterations shouldn't apply to Thesaurus links. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:17, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Don't know how it's gonna work out, but I like the idea. Per utramque cavernam 19:21, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * +1 The module could automatically put the thesaurus link at the end, but I think it'd be good editing practice to always put it at the end. – Jberkel 20:45, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

I implemented it:. If the Thesaurus link is not the last list item, or if you use named parameters with it, you get an error. —Rua (mew) 21:22, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Nice & quick! I think it should still handle the case where there's only a thesaurus link. See Special:Diff/51188179/51205143. – Jberkel 03:39, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, ! Yes, my suggestion was also for the situation where there is only a Thesaurus link to be implemented as well. In that case the word before the link should be “see”, not “see also”. — SGconlaw (talk) 10:56, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Fixed. —Rua (mew) 11:46, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Excellent! Thanks. — SGconlaw (talk) 12:29, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

I've made the template allow multiple thesaurus links as long as they are at the end. This fixes a module error in ineffable, which has. Either that, or I think a more helpful error message in such a case would be something like "You only get to add one Thesaurus link". — Eru·tuon 20:54, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It makes more sense to allow multiple Thesaurus links, if there is already a need for it. —Rua (mew) 21:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Links to entries will now be separated by semicolons rather than commas if any of the entry names contains a comma (see this discussion). Maybe the same should be done for Thesaurus links, but it's an unlikely scenario so I'm not doing it yet. — Eru·tuon 02:52, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Multiple thesaurus links not arranged alphabetically
Why does end up producing this?

Shoudn't the thesaurus links be arranged alphabetically? — SGconlaw (talk) 18:08, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, the order should at least be preserved, not reversed. Fixed. — Eru·tuon 18:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! — SGconlaw (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

langcode prefix problem
