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! —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 18:19, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Automatic Mansi transliteration
Have you considered making a Module:mns-translit to automatically transliterate Mansi? I do not know anything about Mansi, nor do I know any Cyrillic, but Mansi seems to have regular transliteration. Module:uk-translit may be a good model. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 18:50, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, WT:BABEL you'll need one of these on your user page. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 18:51, 1 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I usually apply the phonematic-phonetic transcription of Béla Kálmán, one of the Hungarian linguists who have studied these languages earlier. However, it is not the pure transliteration of the Cyrillic alphabet. --Martinus Poeta Juvenis (talk) 19:12, 1 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah, so that's why the module is unused. That should be fine then, carry on. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 19:15, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Mansi in "cognate with" sections
Adding Mansi cognates in the etymology sections of Hungarian is a good idea, since Mansi is occasionally claimed to be the "language closest related to Hungarian". However, I suspect adding them to Finnish and Estonian entries is not necessary. We do not generally aim for exhaustive listing of cognates in etym sections. If a Uralic/Finno-Ugric proto-root entry exists (as with e.g., ), I think it will be generally sufficient to add the cognates in the less close-by Finno-Ugric languages in there. An edge case worth mentioning could be words where a Mansi cognate is the only cognate as far as Ugric/Samoyedic (there are not many; but some, e.g. ).

In the cases where we do not have a proto-root entry yet, we could start Requested entries (Proto-Uralic) — or feel free to ask me, I'm equipped to do one of these for any one given case. --Tropylium (talk) 09:46, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
