How to quote the Talmud?

"Abbreviations distinguish the versions of the Talmudic tractates: y. for Jerusalem and b. for Babylonian. A prefixed t. denotes the tractates of the

Tosefta and an m. those of the Mishnah. A prefixed bar. denotes a baraita

(an authoritative Tannaitic rule external to the Mishnah). When citing the

Mishnah, a colon separates the chapter from the paragraph (i.e., mishnah);

thus, m. Ber. 1:1. The standard way to cite the Talmud is by folio and side (a

or b); "

m. Šabb 1:1
