This page outlines the capitalization rules for the '''Vietnamese''' language. It forms part of the [[MusicBrainz]] [[Capitalization Standard|CapitalizationStandard]]. |
|||
==Bằng tiếng Việt== |
|||
''Xin bạn viết bài này bằng tiếng Việt.'' |
|||
==In English== |
|||
These rules apply to album and track titles: |
|||
* Do not capitalize any word except for: |
|||
** the first letter of the text |
|||
** the first letter of a sentence after . ! ? / : |
|||
** the first letter of proper and geographical names (persons, cities, nations, etc.) |
|||
=== Punctuation === |
|||
There is a ''space'' character after punctuation. |
|||
====Punctuation (no space before)==== |
|||
Like English, Vietnamese does not use any space before punctuation, including but not limited to ? ! ; : . , ... |
|||
==== Punctuation (with space before) ==== |
|||
In Vietnamese there is a ''no-break space'' ("'' ''" U+00A0) before the following punctuation: |
|||
* The ''exclamation mark'' ("''!''" U+0021) |
|||
* The ''colon'' ("'':''" U+003A) |
|||
* The ''semicolon'' ("'';''" U+003B) |
|||
* The ''question mark'' ("''?''" U+003F) |
|||
In Musicbrainz (as there are few chances to have word-warp problems), '''you can use the standard ''space'' character before ! : ; ? punctuation.''' |
|||
==Examples (no space)== |
|||
* Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên? |
|||
* Nhớ về Hà Nội |
|||
* Hà Nội café ơi! |
|||
* Liên khúc: Đêm cuối / Giận hờn |
|||
==Examples (with space)== |
|||
* Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên ? |
|||
* Nhớ về Hà Nội |
|||
* Hà Nội café ơi ! |
|||
* Liên khúc : Đêm cuối / Giận hờn |
