Tanakh vs. Tanach: Wiktionary About:Hebrew Romanization Standard

edit

Would it cause a lot of technical issues to move this to Template:RQ:Tanakh (with a redirect here)?

The standard romanization of kaf/kaf sofit according to Wiktionary:About_Hebrew#Romanizations is kh, not ch.

This is also the standard for the Hebrew Academy of Language, SBl Manual of Style, and Brill (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Hebrew, https://hebrew-academy.org.il/wp-content/uploads/התעתיק-מעברית-לאותיות-לטיניות-1.pdf#page=3, https://web.archive.org/web/20190715200933if_/http://wwwlibe.ces.org.tw:80/library/download/The%20SBL%20Handbook%20of%20style.pdf#page=40, and https://brill.com/fileasset/downloads_static/static_fonts_simplehebrewtransliteration.pdf)

For such a prominent source, this seems especially important.
