Direction
Left to right

Lingala (lingála) review centers on this evidence: review Lingala noun-class prefixes, agreement, clitics, names, regional vocabulary, and French borrowings in grammatical context. CLDR maximizes bare ln to Latn (Latin script) as default web-locale metadata. It is not evidence about the recording or proof that Lingala has only one writing system. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms. Project decision: whether tone is marked and how French code-switches are retained. Before batch editing ln, a reviewer must record whether tone is marked and how French code-switches are retained and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.

Frozen deployment boundary

This page is published only because its language is present in capability snapshot m10-2026-07-20.1. It does not extend that catalog or claim a measured accuracy score.

  • The ln hint maps to the reviewed ln provider root and preserves ln as the user's transcript language tag.
  • CLDR Latn is a likely/default locale hint, not an audio property; capability flags remain per language and model while editors confirm the project's real script and orthography.
