Conlang:Policies

Policies on this wiki.

Identity
If you forget to log in before editing, that is fine; however, you should avoid using your IP address and remember to log in as soon as possible before editing, since a username gives you an identity to tie to the conlang in question.

IPA
Although English is more or less the dominant language of the Internet, pronunciation can vary quite considerably, even among native dialects. Various native English dialects exist in such regions as England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, North America and Oceania, and non-native speakers of English may speak with one of countless accents depending on their native language and degree of knowledge of native English pronunciation. That is why, on this site, IPA should be used to specify the pronunciation of the sounds of your conlang rather than phonetic analogies to other languages' pronunciation, such as "A as in X" where X represents a word in English (or any other language for that matter). Such phonetic comparisons may be added for reference, but only alongside a standard IPA.

For those unfamiliar with the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) a detailed article can be found HERE.

English
Although this wiki is open to speakers of all languages, all pages and templates must be written in English. Main and subparts may exist in various other languages but the main shall always be in English to ensure common understanding.
