I tried to find more rules on correct title hyphenation, but my question hasn't gotten its answer yet.

Do we hyphenate the compound adjectives that are not the first adjectives of a compond adjective? That's a title that I don't know how to hyphenate right.

  • Are you asking about the hyphen or capitalizing Language? In titles, do we capitalize the second word of compound adjectives?

  • I'm asking about whether to capitalize Language or not.

  • It's part of a compound adjective, which is considered a single word as far as I remember, so I'm in doubt.

  • Your question asks about hyphenation, not caps.

  • As Yosef Baskin has indicated, your question is unclear. Your question asks "Do we ++hyphenate++ the compound adjectives" But your comment above stated "I'm asking about whether to ++capitalize++ Language or not". Please clarify your question! It is also quite possible that British & American differ from one another! Are you asking about either of those variations in particular?
