+'''Transcription''' is the act of representing the sound of a foreign name in Toaq, given its restrictive rules of what constitutes a valid syllable or not. (Name phrases headed with the name marker {{t|mı}} or the quote marker(s) {{t|shu}} and {{t|mo}} should themselves contain valid Toaq.) For ad-hoc, on-the-fly, one-use borrowings, more meticulous-sounding transcriptions may be more appropriate (see first section); for new coinings/borrowings, however, you should take artistic licence in collapsing the foreign word into a more Toaq-friendly form (see second section).

It is also possible – but discouraged – to turn those sounds into /uː/~~ and ~~/iː/ –~~ {{t\|~~uaıny, ıamy~~}} – or ~~drop them altogether – {{t\|aıny, amy}}~~.		* /w/ and /j/ can be turned into {{t\|ꝡ}}. In past versions, they were turned either into {{t\|b}} and {{t\|j}} respectively or dropped.
	* /ts/ and /dz/ should always be {{t\|cy, zy}}, never {{t\|tysy, dyzy}} (e.g., ''rights'', ''rides'' → {{t\|raıcy, raızy}} not {{t\|raıtysy, raıdyzy}}). /z/ can stay as {{t\|z}}, even though the two are not the same.		* /ts/ and /dz/ should always be {{t\|cy, zy}}, never {{t\|tysy, dyzy}} (e.g., ''rights'', ''rides'' → {{t\|raıcy, raızy}} not {{t\|raıtysy, raıdyzy}}). /z/ can stay as {{t\|z}}, even though the two are not the same.
	* /θ/ and /ð/ (as in English ''thought'', ''thigh'') may be transformed into {{t\|s/z, t/d, f/–, p/b}}. There is no consensus about which transcription is the superior one, but some may be more appropriate for some source languages than others (e.g., Spanish [θ] is really a variation of /s/, so transcribe it as {{t\|s}}).		* /θ/ and /ð/ (as in English ''thought'', ''thigh'') may be transformed into {{t\|s/z, t/d, f/–, p/b}}.
