Other information is also collected. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Language_names" data-mw-thread-id="h-Language_names-Language_information"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Language_names-Language_information"></span>Language names<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Language_names-Language_information"></span></h3></div> <p>Wiktionary calls each language it includes by a distinct name. This name is used in headers, translation tables, categories, appendices, and some other places. Most languages only have one name, but some may be known by multiple names. In this case, one of the language's names is chosen for use in Wiktionary. This name is referred to as the <i>canonical name</i> of the language. Canonical language names are chosen by consensus. Whenever possible, common English names of languages are used, and diacritics are avoided. Attested names (names which meet <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:CFI" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:CFI">WT:CFI</a>) are strongly preferred. </p><p>Canonical names must be unique, meaning that a name must refer to at most one language. When two or more languages are commonly known by the same name, Wiktionary distinguishes them by choosing different canonical names for each one, using a variety of means: </p> <ul><li>In many cases, the languages are also known by other names. One of those other names is then chosen so that it is unique. For example, the language of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyu_city-states" class="extiw" title="w:Pyu city-states">Pyu city-states</a>, though called "Pyu" by some scholars, is called "Tircul" (code: <code>pyx</code>) on Wiktionary, to distinguish it from the language of Papua New Guinea which is called "Pyu" (code: <code>pby</code>).</li> <li>Alternative spellings of the same name can also be used to distinguish languages with otherwise identical names. For example, the Riang language of India and Bangladesh (code: <code>ria</code>) goes by the name "Reang" on Wiktionary, to distinguish it from the "Riang" of Burma/Myanmar (code: <code>ril</code>).</li> <li>If languages cannot be distinguished by alternative names, the place where each language is spoken is appended in parentheses after its name, as in the case of "Buli (Ghana)" (code: <code>bwu</code>) and "Buli (Indonesia)" (code: <code>bzq</code>).</li> <li>If languages go by the same name <i>and</i> are spoken in the same place, they can be disambiguated by their linguistic families. For example, "Mor (Austronesian)" (code: <code>mhz</code>) and "Mor (Papuan)" (code: <code>moq</code>), both of which are spoken in Indonesia.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Language_codes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Language_codes-Language_information"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Language_codes-Language_information"></span>Language codes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Language_codes-Language_information"></span></h3></div> <p>Each language on Wiktionary also has a unique code assigned to it, usually consisting of two or three letters. This code is used to identify languages when including templates in entries. Language names are not used in this case because they are longer and less precise, as the above section illustrates. <a href="/wiki/Category:All_topics" title="Category:All topics">Topical categories</a> also use the language code as part of their names. </p><p>The list of standard language codes can be found at <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:List_of_languages" title="Wiktionary:List of languages">Wiktionary:List of languages</a> and the list of special language codes, including etymology-only languages, can be found at the subpage <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:List_of_languages/special" title="Wiktionary:List of languages/special">Wiktionary:List of languages/special</a>. </p><p>Wiktionary chooses codes for languages as follows, in order of priority: </p> <ol><li>If the language has a two-letter code in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1" class="extiw" title="w:ISO 639-1">ISO 639-1</a> standard, then that code is used. Wikipedia has <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes" class="extiw" title="w:List of ISO 639-1 codes">a list of ISO 639-1 codes</a>. <ol><li>A few languages are represented on Wiktionary by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1" class="extiw" title="w:ISO 639-1">639-1</a> codes the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization" class="extiw" title="w:International Organization for Standardization">ISO</a> has <a href="/wiki/deprecate" title="deprecate">deprecated</a>. This is generally the case when the ISO has come to consider a lect to be a group of languages, but Wiktionary still considers it a single language. <b>Serbo-Croatian</b>, for example, is represented by <code>sh</code>.</li></ol></li> <li>If the language has a three-letter code in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3" class="extiw" title="w:ISO 639-3">ISO 639-3</a> standard, then that code is used. Wikipedia has <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-3_codes" class="extiw" title="w:List of ISO 639-3 codes">a list of ISO 639-3 codes</a>. For translingual terms the code <code>mul</code> is used.</li> <li>If the language has a three-letter code in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-2" class="extiw" title="w:ISO 639-2">ISO 639-2</a> standard, then that code is used. This is quite rare.</li> <li>Any language which does not have an ISO code, but which is to be included in Wiktionary, has a new Wiktionary-specific "exceptional" code devised for it. This code consists of two parts. The first part is the nearest three-letter (ISO) family code from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-5" class="extiw" title="w:ISO 639-5">ISO 639-5</a>; it is followed by a hyphen. The second part is a series of three lowercase letters which approximate the language name. (No digits, upper case letters, etc are used: IANA tags allow these, case independent, but Mediawiki software is more restrictive.) For example, <b>Gallo</b> is <code>roa-gal</code>: "<code>roa</code>" is the ISO 639-5 code for Romance languages, "<code>gal</code>" abbreviates "<b>Gal</b>lo". <ol><li>In a very few cases, the Wikimedia Foundation Language Committee has already devised a code of this form to represent the language, using it in the subdomain part of the URL of the language's wiki projects; in that case, we use the Wikimedia code. For example, the WMF uses <code>map-bms</code> for <b>Banyumasan</b> (the Banyumasan Wikipedia is <a class="external text" href="https://map-bms.wikipedia.org">map-bms.wikipedia.org</a>), so Wiktionary also represents Banyumasan using this code. If the Wikimedia code is of a different form, it is not used by Wiktionary; for example, Tarantino has the Wikimedia code <code>roa-tara</code>, but the Wiktionary code <code>roa-tar</code>.</li> <li>If no family to which the language belongs has an ISO code, or it is not known which family the language belonged to, the prefix <code>mis</code> is used: for example, Kassite is represented by the code <code>mis-kas</code>.</li> <li>If the language is a substrate, the prefix <code>qsb</code> is used rather than <code>qfa-sub</code>.</li> <li>Ancestor or "proto-" languages (which are generally reconstructed, though some are directly attested, like <a href="/wiki/Category:Proto-Norse_language" title="Category:Proto-Norse language">Proto-Norse</a>) are assigned exceptional codes consisting of the language family's code with "<code>-pro</code>" added to the end: <b>Proto-Germanic</b>, for example, is represented by the code <code>gem-pro</code>. Because the entire family code is used as the first part of the code, the code may be longer than seven characters: for example, <b>Proto-Mixe-Zoque</b> is <code>nai-miz-pro</code>.</li></ol></li></ol> <p>Not all lects which have been assigned codes by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardization" class="extiw" title="w:International Organization for Standardization">ISO</a> are assigned codes or included by Wiktionary. This is the case for some constructed languages, for example. There are also many lects which the ISO has assigned codes which are not treated as distinct languages on Wiktionary. For example, the ISO assigned <b>Moldovan</b>/<b>Moldavian</b> the 639-1 code <code>mo</code>, but Wiktionary regards it as a form of Romanian and represents it and Romanian by the same code <code>ro</code>. See <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Language_treatment" title="Wiktionary:Language treatment">Wiktionary:Language treatment</a> for more information. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mismatch_with_Wikimedia_codes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Mismatch_with_Wikimedia_codes-Language_codes"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Mismatch_with_Wikimedia_codes-Language_codes"></span>Mismatch with Wikimedia codes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Mismatch_with_Wikimedia_codes-Language_codes"></span></h4></div> <p>In a small number of cases, there is a mismatch between the (typically ISO-derived) code used by Wiktionary to represent a language and the code used by the Wikimedia Foundation. For example, Aromanian is represented on Wiktionary and in ISO 639-3 by the code <code>rup</code>, but the WMF uses the code <code>roa-rup</code> and locates the Aromanian Wikipedia at <a class="external text" href="https://roa-rup.wikipedia.org">roa-rup.wikipedia.org</a>. The templates such as <a href="/wiki/Template:wikipedia" title="Template:wikipedia">Template:wikipedia</a> which Wiktionary uses to link to its sister projects accept only Wiktionary codes. To enable linking to projects (such as the Aromanian Wikipedia) for which the WMF uses special codes, <a href="/wiki/Module:wikimedia_languages" title="Module:wikimedia languages">Module:wikimedia languages</a> maps Wiktionary codes to Wikimedia codes, and <a href="/wiki/Module:languages" title="Module:languages">Module:languages</a> performs the reverse mapping. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Language_families" data-mw-thread-id="h-Language_families-Language_information"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Language_families-Language_information"></span>Language families<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Language_families-Language_information"></span></h3></div> <div class="disambig-see-also-2 noprint" role="note"><i>Main article: <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:Families" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:Families">Wiktionary:Families</a></i></div> <p>Wiktionary sorts languages into families.

This category is named using the canonical name of the language, followed by the word "language". For example, the main category for English is <a href="/wiki/Category:English_language" title="Category:English language">Category:English language</a>. If the canonical name of the language already ends in the word "language", nothing is added (hence <a href="/wiki/Category:American_Sign_Language" title="Category:American Sign Language">Category:American Sign Language</a>). </p><p>The main category for a language will have a variety of subcategories, which organise terms in various ways. The most important is the "lemma" category tree, which organises all lemmas in a language by their part of speech. As Wiktionary is always being expanded and improved upon, not all languages have their own categories yet, and certain subcategories may still be empty or missing. Categories are created as needed, when new entries are added to them. When content is added in a language lacking a category, it can simply be created using the <code style="white-space:pre-wrap">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:auto_cat#top" title="Template:auto cat">auto cat</a>}}</code> template, as long as the name follows the standard format used by other languages. </p><p>Languages generally also have a page which contains information that is useful to users who want to create or edit entries in that language. This page is named "Wiktionary:About (canonical name of language)", for example <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:English_entry_guidelines" title="Wiktionary:English entry guidelines">Wiktionary:English entry guidelines</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:About_Spanish" title="Wiktionary:About Spanish">Wiktionary:About Spanish</a>. These pages contain a wide variety of information, depending on what other editors have found useful to note. They may explain which templates to use, specific conventions regarding spelling, pronunciation or transliteration, and more. By convention, a shortcut redirect is created to these pages for easy access, named <b>WT:A(language code)</b>. For example, <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:AEN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:AEN">WT:AEN</a> redirects to <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:About_English" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:About English">Wiktionary:About English</a> (for which the code is <code>en</code>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Storing_and_retrieving_language_information" data-mw-thread-id="h-Storing_and_retrieving_language_information"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Storing_and_retrieving_language_information"></span>Storing and retrieving language information<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Storing_and_retrieving_language_information"></span></h2></div> <div class="disambig-see-also-2 noprint" role="note"><i>Main article: <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:List_of_languages" title="Wiktionary:List of languages">Wiktionary:List of languages</a></i></div> <p>Templates and modules use a system for storing and retrieving the various pieces of information that may be associated with a language. The module <a href="/wiki/Module:languages" title="Module:languages">Module:languages</a> is used to retrieve all language-related information from other modules. This module cannot be used directly in a template, so instead there is another module named <a href="/wiki/Module:languages/templates" title="Module:languages/templates">Module:languages/templates</a>, which allows templates to access the information. </p><p>An overview of all basic information about a language, such as its canonical name, alternative names, code, family or scripts, can be looked up at <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:List_of_languages" title="Wiktionary:List of languages">Wiktionary:List of languages</a> (or <a href="/wiki/Wiktionary:LL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiktionary:LL">WT:LL</a> for short).

An example is <a href="/wiki/Category:Classical_Persian" title="Category:Classical Persian">Classical Persian</a>, which is given a code <code style="white-space:pre-wrap;" class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr">fa-cls</code>, but whose entries are listed under the ==Persian== header (corresponding to language code <code style="white-space:pre-wrap;" class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr">fa</code>). The term "etymology-only language" was originally appropriate, as these lects could generally only be used in etymology templates such as <code style="white-space:pre-wrap">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:inherited#top" title="Template:inherited">inh</a>}}</code>, <code style="white-space:pre-wrap">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:borrowed#top" title="Template:borrowed">bor</a>}}</code> and <code style="white-space:pre-wrap">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:derived#top" title="Template:derived">der</a>}}</code>, but their use has now been expanded well beyond these templates, and the term "etymology-only language" is now considered a misnomer.
