Orthography edit

Tundra Nenets has a mostly standardised orthography that is largely phonetic, though the schwa is in many positions left unwritten.

Long and short vowel diacritics are to be supplied in the headwords of the appropriate entries and in the pronunciation template ({{yrk-IPA}}), which will transform these into IPA. A main source for the vowel qualities and quantities is {{R:yrk:Tereschenko:1965}}.

Transliteration is generated automatically according to WT:Tundra Nenets transliteration.

Note that {{R:yrk:Pyrerka:1948}} shows a superseded orthography, which among others doesn't distinguish between nasalised and non-nasalised glottal stops.
