Style/Language/Yiddish

Status: This page outlines the capitalization rules for the Yiddish language. It forms part of the MusicBrainz CapitalizationStandard. This is a ProposedStyleGuideline.

Hebrew Script

In English

Hebrew has no capitalization, so this isn't an issue.

Latin Script

In English

The first letter of the first word and the first letter of any proper nouns should be capitalized.

All other letters should be lowercase.
