== Indicating writing script ==

If necessary, an [[List of ISO 15924 codes|ISO 15924]] script code can be appended to a language code to indicate the use of a specific script. For instance, [[Tajik language|Tajik]] (<code>tg</code>) is a language which can be found written in [[Arabic script|Arabic]] (<code>Arab</code>), [[Latin script|Latin]] (<code>Latn</code>), and [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]] (<code>Cyrl</code>) scripts, making it necessary to always specify which script is in use. In such a case, taking care to preserve the script code's capitalization, we could end up with the following code (language tags in bold):

* <code><nowiki>Tajik ({{lang|</nowiki>'''tg-Arab'''<nowiki>|rtl=yes|تاجیکی}}, {{lang|</nowiki>'''tg-Latn'''<nowiki>|toçikī}}, {{lang|</nowiki>'''tg-Cyrl'''<nowiki>|тоҷикӣ}})</nowiki></code>
: Tajik ({{lang|tg-Arab|rtl=yes|تاجیکی}}, {{lang|tg-Latn|toçikī}}, {{lang|tg-Cyrl|тоҷикӣ}})

Many languages, however, are so commonly written in one particular script that specifying the script is unnecessary. Russian, for instance, is almost exclusively written in Cyrillic, so there is no need to specify <code>ru-Cyrl</code>, just as <code>en-Latn</code> would be unnecessary for English. The [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry subtag registry] contains up-to-date information on which languages have common script codes that should be "suppressed".

=== Transliteration ===

To mark a language which has been [[transliteration|transliterated]] from one script into another, append the new script's code to the code of the original language. So if transliterating from Russian Cyrillic to a Latin script, the language tag on the transliteration would be <code>ru-Latn</code>. If the transliteration scheme is known, and listed as a "variant" in the [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry subtag registry], it can be appended after any script and region codes. For example, Chinese transliterated into a Latin script using the [[pinyin]] system would be <code>zh-Latn-pinyin</code>. As a convenience for transliterating to Latin scripts, and to work around browser styling issues with some language and script combinations, {{tl|transliteration}} may be used in place of {{tlf|lang}}:

* <code><nowiki>Moscow ({{lang|ru|Москва}}, {{transliteration|ru|Moskva}})</nowiki></code> → Moscow ({{lang|ru|Москва}}, {{transliteration|ru|Moskva}})

To specify a transliteration scheme, such as the [[ISO 9|ISO transliteration standard for Cyrillic]], use {{tlc|transliteration|ru|ISO|Moskva}}.

=== Glyphs not connected to a particular language ===

The {{tlf|lang}} template is not used to specify a single symbol or character in a script, unrelated to any specific language. Many times the character or symbol is used in several languages, but when the article refers to the [[grapheme]] itself, the template {{tl|script}} should be used:

* <code><nowiki>The Chinese character {{script|Hani|字}} has 6 strokes.</nowiki></code>
: The Chinese character {{script|Hani|字}} has 6 strokes.

[[Chinese characters]] ({{aka}} ''Han characters'') have been used to write Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and [[Chinese family of scripts|numerous other languages]]. In this case the character does not represent a use specific to any language in particular. Note that the script code used is <code>Hani</code>, which specifies Chinese characters generally, as opposed to <code>Hant</code> and <code>Hans</code> for traditional or simplified characters respectively.
