How to read a sourced language entry
A reliable entry separates Cyrillic spelling, Latin transliteration, literal meaning, natural translation and usage context. If audio is provided, the speaker and verification context should also be stated clearly.
Why pronunciation needs care
Machine translation and synthetic speech can make an error sound authoritative. This guide therefore uses only spelling and meaning traceable to a source and states clearly when verified audio is unavailable.
Four fields required before publishing a phrase
Even a short phrase is more than a translation. Chechen Cyrillic spelling, a traceable Latin transliteration, the English meaning and the situation in which it is used must appear in one record. If a source supplies only a word list, pronunciation, stress and politeness level are not invented. Audio without documented native-speaker review is not presented as definitive, and regional or household variation is noted. This makes the list grow more slowly, but prevents an error from spreading through search.
