Otherwise, only capitalize subject names that would be capitalized anyway (because they are proper nouns or adjectives), such as English, Latin, or American.

You might want to add this to our Writers’ Guidelines under the “Capitalization” Section].

[Double check this too…Shubhakaran says, “Family in turmoil due to birth of a female child born not out of him. He receives timely help from others in case of need.” This does not mean illegitimate child of his own does it?].
