New page

The wiki uses the most basic English/Latin form of the language when presenting general information, such as names and page titles. This is to keep things as simple as possible. However, the truer transliteration will often use extra diacritical marks to impart more exact, flavorful information. For example, look at the difference between ''naive'' and ''naïve''. Both are equally proper, but the second imparts more information and is truer to the language the word came from.

Languages on the wiki will have an infobox about the language. It will note where the proper transliteration differs from the simple transliteration.
