Persons who bear names derived from a non-Latin script but who write in a Latin script language should not be treated under this instruction. The decision that the person is writing in a Latin script language is based on the first item cataloged, i.e., the fact that the text of this item was originally written in a Latin script language. If it becomes evident later that most of the person’s works were written in a non-Latin script, apply the provisions of this policy statement.
