Template:PIE/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:PIE. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template marks strings of text as being Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) content, a reconstructed language theorised to be the origin of the Indo-European languages family.

PIE text features superscript letters and a number of accents. Reconstructed words feature an asterisk before them as a conventional mark. Reconstructed sentences, phrases and paragraphs do not feature an asterisk at the start.

This template does not automatically italicise text; italics markup must be added around the template. As PIE is not English, per MOS:FOREIGNITALIC, PIE text must be italicised.
