Kannada transliteration should be followed using the guide at Wiktionary:Kannada transliteration. Scientific transliteration is preferred.
The name of the entry is that of the word or phrase that you are defining.
Titles of Kananda entries should always be in Kannada script, not a transliteration (that is, a romanization).
The following is an example:
==Kannada== ===Noun=== {{kn-noun}} # ]
This is an entry for the word ]. It includes more information than the simple example above, including:
There are other possible headers for use. See WT:ELE for more information regarding these.
==Kannada== ===Etymology=== From {{bor|kn|XX|TERM}}. ===Pronunciation=== * {{IPA|kn|//}} ===Noun=== {{kn-noun}} # ] ====Synonyms==== * {{l|kn|}} ====Antonyms==== * {{l|kn|}} ===Verb=== {{kn-verb}} # ] ====Derived terms==== * {{l|kn|}} ====Related terms==== * {{l|kn|}}
The part of speech section will often include simple translation(s) into English in place of definitions, but there may be subsections.
Following is the preferred sequence for these standard sections:
==Kannada== ===Alternative forms=== ===Etymology=== ===Pronunciation=== ===(Part of Speech)=== ====Usage notes==== ====Synonyms==== ====Antonyms==== ====Derived terms==== ====Related terms==== ===See also===
Kannada words will appear in the Translations sections of English words. In general, only the lemma form of the Kannada translation should be given.
The template {{t}}
should be used, it speeds up entry and will enable any later, global changes in format to be made.
