These are the rules concerning transliteration in Gothic entries.
The Gothic letters are transliterated on Wiktionary as follows:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 |

Some notes and additional rules:
- Macrons are written above vowels if they are long. This is always the case for ฤ and ล, sometimes the case for ฤ and ลซ, and never for ฤซ. In the combination ei, the e does not receive a macron.
- Acute accents are not used for ai and au. The difference between ai, aรญ and รกi is purely etymological and does not necessarily reflect any difference in pronunciation except for length.
- The letter ๐ is always transliterated as "w", even when it represents upsilon (ฮฅ ฯ ) in Greek loanwords.
- Wiktionary creates soft redirects from transliterations of Gothic to Gothic-script pages, using both the above scheme and using hw in place of ฦ and th in place of รพ. Hence ฦar and hwar both exist as soft redirects to ๐๐ฐ๐. Macrons are not added to the entry names of romanized entries, so the entry will be qino and not qinล. See WT:AGOT for more information.
