ထာမ်ပလိက်:langname-lite/documentation

Maps language codes to (canonical) language names. Used for Lua-free templates. Should be kept in sync with Module:languages, Module:etymology languages and Module:families, but not every language should be listed here; only those which are actually needed.

Default behaviour:

• If an etymology-only language code is given, it will return the canonical name of the regular language which it is attached to.
• If a language family code is given, it will give an error saying that this is not allowed.

See the parameters section below for changing these.

Errors

The following errors were detected by Module:data consistency check:

Parameters

|1=

Language code.

|allow etym=

If this is set, the template will return the canonical names of etymology-only languages.

|allow family=

If this is set, the template will return the canonical names of language families.

|is family=

If this is set, the template will return 1 if the code is for a language family; otherwise, it will behave normally. This is useful when used with the #ifeq parser function.

Editing the list

The list has been subdivided into switch tables based on the first letter; this is to prevent very large pages from hitting the preprocessor node count limit. Please note that this is case-sensitive, meaning (for example) that there are separate lists for codes beginning with e and E, which becomes relevant when adding alias codes for etymology-only languages.

|la=Latin

Etymology-only languages and language families may be listed, but have additional syntax. For example:

Etymology-only language:

|la-med={{langname-lite/etymcode|<!-- -->Medieval Latin<!-- -->|<!-- -->Latin<!-- -->|{{{allow etym|}}}}}

The first name is that of the etymology-only language, and the second that of the regular language which it is attached to (usually the parent in Module:etymology languages/data, unless that is another etymology-only language, in which just follow the chain until you find a regular language).

Language family:

|sla={{langname-lite/familycode|<!-- -->Slavic<!-- -->|{{{is family|}}}|{{{allow family|}}}}}

If you are adding aliases (alternative codes) for a language, you must duplicate the entry in the relevant list if it begins with a different letter to the main code, or else it won't work. For example, Medieval Latin has the main code la-med, entered under the l list (as per the example above), as well as the following entry under M for its aliases ML, ML. and Medieval Latin:

|ML|ML.|Medieval Latin={{langname-lite/etymcode|<!-- -->Medieval Latin<!-- -->|<!-- -->Latin<!-- -->|{{{allow etym|}}}}}
