INTRODUCTION
This manual presents the word order for indexina
personal names of many of the most widely used world
languages. Examples of the order in which personal
names are written and of the correct order for cardinp
them are included. Principal indexing elements are
followed by commas, titles are set off in slash marks
and particles are enclosed in parentheses.
This manual updates and supplements the procedures
presented in the studies on personal names. These stu-
dies provide guidance and assistance in recognizing the
various elements of personal names, in transliterating
and spelling them consistently, and in indexing them
uniformly. They are particularly useful when dealing
with foreign lanpuape problem names.
Forty studies coverina forty-four languaaes have
been prepared, three studies (Cambodian, Tibetan and
Portuguese) are beinp prepared at this time and four
more (Danish, Dutch, Icelandic and Norwepian) are plan-
ned for completion by early 1972.

In checking the form of a Korean name, the Korean
Telegraphic Code Book should be used for both the correct
spelling and the code numerals. Names of South Koreans
should be corroborated before carding, as many South
Koreans change the Korean order (surname first) to the
western style, for example,
KIM SE-WON may be written as
SE WON KIll, or SEWON KIM.
