Good style

Page structure

Pages about specific languages come with a predefined structure:

  • Header 1: “language” in “country”
  • Header 3: language designations
  • Header 3: Language vitality according to
  • Header 3: Linguistic aspects

Etc.

It is possible to change this structure, but please adhere to it as much as possible.

Text length

Mercator's wiki on minority languages is an online platform: people will read the texts from screen. Therefore keep the texts short and concise.
