[edit] Proper nouns
From Norwegian (bokmål) Wikipedia:
Et karakteristisk trekk ved latvisk, som det deler med litauisk og russisk, er at de transkriberer fremmedord etter uttalen. "George Bush" blir for eksempel hetende Džorž Bušs på latvisk.
This should definitely be covered, especially since Latvian currently is the only language left (as Lithuanian and Albanian deprecated transcribing proper nouns to their orthographies) as far as I know. I could start off figuring out how to call transcription withing an alphabet... Okyea 10:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Whoops I don't know what I'm talking about - the Albanian language proper noun transcription turns out to be a phonetic transcription (sq:Shqiptimi - meaning pronunciation) pretty much like IPA. Okyea 10:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
