Editing Euro (section)

==''Euro'' in various official EU languages==
{{Main|Language and the euro}}
The formal titles of the currency are ''euro'' for the major unit and ''cent'' for the minor (one-hundredth) unit and for official use in most eurozone languages; according to the ECB, all languages should use the same spelling for the nominative singular.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ecb.int/pub/pdf/conrep/cr200705en.pdf|title=European Central Bank, Convergence Report|date= May 2007|quote=The euro is the single currency of the member states that have adopted it. To make this singleness apparent, Community law requires a single spelling of the word ''euro'' in the nominative singular case in all community and national legislative provisions, taking into account the existence of different alphabets.|access-date=29 December 2008}}</ref> This may contradict normal rules for word formation in some languages.

Bulgaria has negotiated an exception; ''euro'' in the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet is spelled {{lang|bg|eвро}} ({{transliteration|bg|evro}}) and not {{script|Cyrl|eуро}} (''{{transliteration|Cyrl|euro}}'') in all official documents.<ref>{{cite news|author=Elena Koinova |url=http://sofiaecho.com/2007/10/19/656777_evro-dispute-over-portuguese-foreign-minister |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110603212303/http://sofiaecho.com/2007/10/19/656777_evro-dispute-over-portuguese-foreign-minister |archive-date=3 June 2011 |url-status=dead |title="Evro" Dispute Over&nbsp;– Portuguese Foreign Minister&nbsp;– Bulgaria |newspaper=The Sofia Echo |date=19 October 2007 |access-date=17 July 2011}}</ref> In the Greek script the term {{lang|el|ευρώ}} ({{transliteration|el|evró}}) is used; the Greek "cent" coins are denominated in {{lang|el|λεπτό/ά}} ({{transliteration|el|leptó/á}}). Official practice for English-language EU legislation is to use the words euro and cent as both singular and plural,<ref>European Commission. "Spelling of the words "euro" and "cent" in official community languages as used in community legislative acts" (PDF). Retrieved 12 January 2009.</ref> although the European Commission's [[Directorate-General for Translation (European Commission)|Directorate-General for Translation]] states that the plural forms ''euros'' and ''cents'' should be used in English.<ref>For example, see {{Cite web |publisher=European Commission Directorate-General for Translation |title=English Style Guide |at=para.{{nbsp}}20.8 |quote=''The euro.'' Like 'pound', 'dollar' or any other currency name in English, the word 'euro' is written in lower case with no initial capital and, where appropriate, takes the plural 's' (as does 'cent'). |url=http://ec.europa.eu/translation/writing/style_guides/english/style_guide_en.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101205092625/http://ec.europa.eu/translation/writing/style_guides/english/style_guide_en.pdf |archive-date=5 December 2010 |date=29 June 2010}}</ref>
The word 'euro' is pronounced differently according to pronunciation rules in the individual languages applied; in German {{IPA|de|ˈɔʏʁo|}}, in English {{IPAc-en|ˈ|j|ʊər|oʊ}}, in French {{IPA|fr|øʁo|}}, etc.
