Wiktionary:Macedonian transliteration
These are the rules concerning transliteration in Macedonian entries.
The system used on Wiktionary for the transliteration of Macedonian is defined in ISO R9:1968; this system was also adopted by the Macedonian Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1970,[1] is regarded as officially codified today,[2] and is taught in schools in the Republic of North Macedonia.[3] It uses letters with diacritics ž, č, š for Cyrillic ж, ч, ш respectively (as for many other Slavic languages), and ǵ, ḱ for the special Macedonian letters ѓ, ќ. The palatalised consonants of Cyrillic љ, њ are rendered with diagraphs lj, nj, and the voiced affricates of Cyrillic ѕ, џ with dz, dž respectively.

Stress
[edit]Other than recent loanwords and several exceptional categories of native words, word stress in Macedonian is antepenultimate, meaning it falls on the third from last syllable in words with three or more syllables, and on the first or only syllable in other words.
In most cases, no stress marks are required but when the syllabic stress is irregular, it is indicated by an acute accent (´) over the vowel, e.g. ателје́ (ateljé), марши́ра (maršíra).
This is the list of accented vowels:
- Cyrillic: А́, а́, Е́, е́, И́, и́, О́, о́, У́, у́
- Roman: Á, á, É, é, Í, í, Ó, ó, Ú, ú
Liquid consonants л (l) and р (r) surrounded by consonants may also occasionally receive stress marks for terms not following regular rules, e.g. темноцр́вен (temnocŕven). These are the accented consonants:
- Cyrillic: Л́, л́, Р́, р́
- Roman: Ĺ, ĺ, Ŕ, ŕ
