Wiktionary:Etymology/language templates
Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary
This page attempts to show all language codes (including dialect and family codes) used in Etymologies. It combines the auto-generated list of language codes and names from Wiktionary:Index to templates/languages with the dialect and language family code exceptions from Wiktionary:Language codes (this is a temporary substitute until an auto-generated list of templates in the "etyl:" namespace can be done, it is incomplete as the standard ISO 639-5 codes are not show).
[edit] Plain language templates
Language templates follow the ISO language code name.
These "straight" language templates are for use inside ====Translations==== tables, and consequently should not add the calling article to the corresponding language category.
They are also used by various structure templates to obtain the language name, e.g. the {{wikipedia}} template.
For entering etymologies in the ===Etymology=== sections of articles the Etymology Language templates should be used instead. They are listed on Wiktionary:Etymology#Etymology language templates
The template codes are from ISO 639-1 (two letter codes) and ISO 639-3 (3 letter codes). Where a language has both, the use of the two-letter code is preferred. There are also some codes used within the WMF projects for languages that have not yet been coded by ISO, for example {{fiu-vro}}. ISO 639-2 also defines some three letter codes; it defines "T" (terminology) codes which are all included in 639-3; and it defines twenty-two "B" (bibliographic) codes, not included in 639-3. The "B" codes are not used in the wiktionary.
Everything below the horizontal rule is written by 'bot.
As of 24 November 2008 there are 974 languages with templates.
