Even is a Tungusic language native to Siberia spoken by less than 6 thousand people. It is represented by the language code eve. It is written with the Cyrillic alphabet.

This page describes the treatment of Evenki terms in Wiktionary entries, for readers and editors.

Entries and links edit

Main entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:

Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
Verbs: infinitive in -дай/-дэй (-daj/-dəj) (assimilated -тай/тэй (-taj/təj) in some words).

Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}} or {{alternative spelling of}}.

Romanization edit

Even Cyrillic terms are usually accompanied by an automatically generated Roman-alphabet transliteration based on an obsolete Even Latin alphabet.
