Template:Turkic name

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a Turkic name; the family name {{{1}}} is sometimes transliterated as {{{2}}}.

[edit] Usage

This template is for use with Turkic (Turkish, Turkmenistani, Azerbaijani, etc.) names that use non-Western European characters, but which are commonly transliterated in plain English characters (e.g. "ı" simplified to "i"). The article is often but not always named with the Western European simpification, but sometimes vice versa. This template is suitable for either case.

Usage example (note that the correct spelling is entered first):

{{Turkic name|Saygıner|Sayginer}}

which renders as:

This is a Turkic name; the family name Saygıner is sometimes transliterated as Sayginer.
