Between one and six triplets can be specified, each of which can have the following parameters (which can be left blank or, at the end of the list, omitted entirely):
- language: The ISO 639 code or name for the language. This might be omitted if the language is obvious (e.g. the same as the language of the previous part, or English).
- orthography: How the word or words are written in the original language. If the original language uses a non-Latin alphabet the orthography should be surrounded by two straight single quotation marks (vertical apostrophes)
''before and after to avoid automatic italicizing (see ), followed by a transliteration within parentheses. If a transliteration is not needed, the final set of single quotation marks must be followed by a character, such as a hair space ( or - meaning: Concise English meaning of the word. This could be a link if appropriate.
- Notes
- For each triplet, at least one of language and orthography must be specified (non-blank).
- If the original language uses a non-Latin alphabet (or no alphabet at all), the orthography should be followed by a transliteration within parentheses.
- This template may also be coded using the shortened form,
{{ety}}.
