Editing Old Prussian language (section)

==Orthography==
The orthography varies depending on the author.
As the authors of many sources were themselves not proficient in Old Prussian, they wrote the words as they heard them using the orthographical conventions of their mother tongue. 
For example, the use of {{Grapheme|s}} for both {{IPA|/s/}} and {{IPA|/z/}} is based on German orthography.
Additionally, the writers misunderstood some phonemes and, when copying manuscripts, they added further mistakes.{{r|Rinkevicius|p=63}}{{r|britannica.com}}{{r|Dini|page=337}}
