Wiktionary:Namuyi entry guidelines

This page deals with the specific issues of Namuyi entries on Wiktionary.

Orthography

The orthography used follows the one in Pavlík (2017), but suppleted by information gathered by Li (2017). The following modifications have been made:

• Tones are re-written according to the phonological analysis by Li (2017):

Tonemes

Pavlík (2017)	Li (2017)	Wiktionary
à, (â)	a⁵⁴	à (IPA ˥˧)
â, a	a³³	a (IPA ˧)
ă, á, ā	a²¹	ā (IPA ˧˩)

• The sandhi allophones of the tonemes may be given in multisyllable IPA templates as â (IPA ˥), ă (IPA ˩˧) and á (IPA ˧˥)
• The nasalised allophones <hn> and <xn> are written as simple <h> and <x>, respectively.
• Pavlík's <ky> and <khy> are written as <ty> and <thy> (and, before the vowel /i/, as <t> and <th>) respectively.
