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.
Examples
The PIE template can be used for paragraphs and singular words. For example:
''{{PIE|*wódr̥}}''
Results in:
*wódr̥
An example sentence in this template is:
''{{PIE|rēḱs deiwos-kʷe}}''
Which results in:
rēḱs deiwos-kʷe
This template may cause problems on longer strings of text; this is because it forces the contents of the template not to wrap, and will instead produce a single long string that extends to the right of the page.
To use this template for more than a few words, add |wrap=normal
to allow the template to wrap text like a normal sentence or paragraph.
Post-PIE proto-languages
A number of proto-languages followed PIE, which are not reconstructed. This means that {{lang}} can be used. A number of ISO 639-2 language codes for post-PIE proto-languages are:
