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! —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 20:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Kashmiri in Latin alphabet?
Hi, I noticed you've been adding Kashmiri entries in the Latin alphabet. Is Kashmiri actually commonly written in the Latin alphabet, in texts intended for native speakers to read? I ask because Wikipedia's article mentions only the Perso-Arabic script and the Devanagari script for contemporary Kashmiri and the Sharada script for ancient/liturgical Kashmiri. We should only have entries in the Latin alphabet if the Latin alphabet is actually used for Kashmiri in books, newspapers, magazines, and the like. Otherwise, these entries should be moved to spellings in the scripts that are actually used. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:09, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Oh, also, please don't put Kashmiri entries at the bottoms of existing pages. Rather, the Kashmiri section should be added in alphabetical order, for example, where I've moved Kashmiri between Interlingua and Latin. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:13, 25 August 2016 (UTC)


 * You could share Omniglot's entry for Kashmiri, its external links and all, with at least some of your peers and all those who are unfamiliar with the standard Devanagari script for Kashmiri. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 12:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * P.S. To be honest, I feel like the Latin alphabet is out of place for Kashmiri. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 05:03, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I also completely agree with Angr and Lo Ximiendo. The Latin script is not used in any setting except for online, where most users have difficulty accessing a Devanagari or Arabic keyboard. I propose we begin shifting the entries to both Arabic and Devanagari. DerekWinters (talk) 01:01, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * If you need sources in Kashmiri, there are several newspapers available. Here are two: Koshur Akhbar and Sangarmal.
