Indevroplu: Difference between revisions

Line 86:

Capitalization functions a bit differently from other languages using the Latin script, in that capitalization is only used at the start of proper names, thus the first word of an Indeyivroplu sentence will not necessarily be capitalized.

In the formal register, a hyphen should be appended at the morpheme boundary of all proper names.

In the formal register, a hyphen (-) should be appended at the morpheme boundary of all proper names.

Two spaces are to be inserted after the period ending a sentence.

If typing diacritics is not supported, those 5 letters of the Latin script should be written as their base form plus an apostraphe ('). For Cyrillic, the 3 special letters ~~should~~ become their base form plus '''ь'''.

If typing diacritics is not supported, those 5 letters of the Latin script should be written as their base form plus an apostraphe ('). For Cyrillic, the 3 special letters can become their base form plus '''ь'''.

Note that affricates do not phonemically exist in Indeyivroplu, so their equivalents are always orthographically 2 letters.

In the specific case of an Indeyivroplu word being used as a proper noun (i.e. when translating names of media), the word is to be capitalized but a period is to be appended instead of a hyphen.
