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.

Again, welcome! --Tibidibi (talk) 08:00, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

If you're a native speaker of Burmese, then add to your user-page. --Apisite (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Standard Lhaovo Spelling
Hi. Before you make too many changes of this kind: are you certain that Wiktionary only includes Standard Lhaovo Spellings? We might also include obsolete spellings, as we do in English. They can help readers of older books. Equinox ◑ 14:18, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, I am certain. The specific page, which I requested to be deleted, has valuable, valid information ( that's why I transferred all its information into Standard page). But its title is not Standard nor some kind of Obsolete spelling. It's just a IPA phonetic transcription. Besides, our Lhaovo language didn't have any written scripts until 1957 when it finally adopted Roman Scripts. So we don't have any obsolete spellings. Cepyita (talk) 15:21, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Just some friendly advice, when passing multiple labels to this template you should separate them with pipes (|), not commas. Acolyte of Ice (talk) 14:13, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Burmese comparisons in Chinese entries
Hi, I am wondering if you have any sources for the comparisons that you have added to Chinese entries. If not, I don't think we should be making comparisons ourselves. Please see WT:Etymology and WT:References. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 18:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

You added an entry with a Lhao Vo (language code mhx) header, a headword template with the language code lsi (Lashi) and a References section citing a dictionary of Kachin (which we list as another name for Jingpho, language code kac). Which language is it, really? Chuck Entz (talk) 02:57, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes. I just fixed the title. It's a Lashi word. The reference is a dictionary containing Kachin-English entries along with other ethnicities' counterparts. Cepyita (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
