Language data

Data sources:

• Module:languages/data2, Module:languages/data3, Module:families/data

Extraction

The actual language data is stored in a submodule (ipanema-data). To update/regenerate the data manually:

$ apt-get install jq lua5.1 liblua5.1-dev luarocks # linux
$ brew install jq lua@5.1 luarocks # osx
$ make clean # delete stored data
$ make

Language codes

The Wiktionary language code is defined as follows:

1. If the language has a two-letter code in the ISO 639-1 standard, then that code is used.
2. If the language has a three-letter code in the ISO 639-3 standard, then that code is used.
3. If the language has a three-letter code in the ISO 639-2 standard, then that code is used. (rare)
4. 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.
