Italics
This language is written in both Latin and Cyrillic, i.e. there's no specific reason to give prevalence to Cyrillic, and this Wiki is written in Latin. If we have to make a choice with regard to how to gear this template, imo we need to go with that. In fact, lead foreign language names in general should be written with English-speakers in mind: if they can be legitimately written in Latin - that ought to be preferred. -- Director (talk) 20:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm going by precedent previously discussed at Template talk:Lang-sr. This is why {{lang-sh-Latn}} and {{lang-sh-Cyrl}} exist. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 20:10, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well, as you may know, today Serbian allows Latin - but officially prefers Cyrillic: lang-sr is not really a valid precedent. Even so, an argument could be made against the situation over there (but I'll be damned if I'll be the one making it :)). Namely that this Wiki is written for English speakers, who use Latin. Setting the previous arguments aside, one could look at it this way as well: this is the "hbs" template; "h" and "b" prefer Latin, only "s" prefers Cyrillic.
- We ought to modify those two sub-templates as well. -- Director (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
