The sample consists of several Macedonian orthographic rules of hyphenated compound nouns, which have been excerpted from the Orthography of the Macedonian language, from 2017 as well as the English hyphenated compounds orthography excerpted from several Guide Manuals in English and printed and online dictionaries.
