	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Template for defining a Prakrit term as a variant of another term in a different lect. For example, Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀧𑀲𑀭𑀤𑀺 (pasaradi) ~ Maharastri Prakrit 𑀧𑀲𑀭𑀇 (pasaraï). This may be used to avoid repetition of etymology, definitions, etc. Categories are also added.

Only to be used in definition line.

• |1= (required)...|9= (optional) — the lect(s). These can take some fixed values:

  a = Ardhamagadhi Prakrit

  c = Culikapaisaci

  e or h = Helu Prakrit

  j = Jain Maharastri

  k = Khasa Prakrit

  mg = Magadhi Prakrit

  m or mh = Maharastri Prakrit

  p = Paisaci Prakrit

  s = Sauraseni Prakrit

• |2=...|10= — the term, where the main entry exists. The position depends on the number of lects specified - if there are 2 lects specified, the term should be specified in the third (unnamed) parameter; if only 1 lect is specified, the term can go in the 2^nd parameter; if (hypothetically) there are 9 lects specified, the 10^th parameter will have the term, etc.

• |t= — a short definition of the term.
• |pos= — part of speech. Since this template is already used below a L3 header (which defines the part of speech), this parameter should only contain details like "name of ", "a kind of ", etc.
• |tr= — manual transliteration, in case the automated one is incorrect.
