Unsourced text on Latin scribal abbreviations
[edit]§ Abbreviation describes diacritical tilde for scribal abbreviations in Latin manuscripts. Before my edit, the section was entirely unsourced. It said two things:
- A tilde is a small N and represents a removed ⟨m⟩ and ⟨n⟩.
- q̃ stood for que.
However, the source I used contradict this. For both points, the source says macrons take that responsibility. The source maps qua for q̃ instead. My edit reflects the source.
However, the source is not a published, scholarly article. I am a complete beginner in the subject and do not know of better sources. It is appreciated if anyone can back up/refute either side with a strong source. --Naruyoko (talk) 02:16, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Tilde => Virgulilla
[edit]Resolving a disagreement with a friend, I just discovered what an English speaker calls a tilde is in Spanish a virguililla, and what a Spanish speaker calls a tilde is by English speakers termed an accent (egu?). Ought to be addressed but all I have is this phone, and I don't even know how to sign in. ~~ Captain Puget (talk) 19:52, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Captain Puget: In any event, you would have to find a reliable source (so not just your friend!). It should make for an interesting hunt. See also virgula, virgule and comma (called virgula in some languages). 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:04, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Tilde#Approximation is already covered by Tilde#As a unary operator but
[edit]“Such usage goes against ISO/IEC 80000-2 and should be avoided.” in the former is wrong: The standard says nothing about the unary operator. ~2026-46841-76 (talk) 2026 Aug 30 Sun 20:55:07 Z-0700:PDT
