This module exists primarily to provide correct htmlHTML markup for non-Englishnon–English language text where that text is used in the English Wikipedia. It has a secondary purpose of providing correct visual rendering for this non-English text. The module consolidateswas developed to consolidate processing for {{tlx|lang}}, the {{cl|lang-x_templatestlx|{{tld|lang-??langx}}}} (most), and {{tlx|transltransliteration}} templates into a single source and usesto use a clearly defined data set extracted from international standards. It provides error checking and reporting to ensure that the HTML rendered is correct for browsers and screen readers.

Other templates that get language name support from this module are:

The data set is specified in [[Module:Language/name/data]] and its included data modules:

* {{tlx|native name}}

:;language code-and-name data

::[[Module:Language/data/iana languages]] – from IANA [https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry language-subtag-registry file]

==Data set==

::[[Module:Language/data/ISO 639-3]] – from [http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/download.asp sil.org UTF-8 Complete Code Tables Set]

::The data set is specified in [[Module:LanguageLang/data/wp languages]] –and sourcingits for theincluded data in this module is unknownmodules:

:;* language scripttag-and-name data

::** [[Module:LanguageLang/data/iana scriptslanguages]] – from IANA [https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry language-subtag-registry file]

:;* language regionscript data

::** [[Module:LanguageLang/data/iana regionsscripts]] – from IANA language-subtag-registry file

:;* language variantregion data

::** [[Module:LanguageLang/data/iana suppressed scriptsvariants]] – from IANA language-subtag-registry file

* suppressed-script data

** [[Module:Lang/data/iana suppressed scripts]] – from IANA language-subtag-registry file

The data set also includes supplementary data modules:

:;* override and other non-standard data

::** [[Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms]] – maps three character ISO 639-2, -2T, -3 codes to two character ISO 639-1 codes – from [httphttps://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages]

::[[Module:Lang/data]] – For example, when IANA disagrees with ISO 639-3 or when the standard language name is cumbersome or contains information not suitable for use in article space, the <code>override</code> table can hold that language information

** [[Module:Lang/tag from name]] – reversed language tag-and-name data so that the language name is the key and the language tag is the value

::[[Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms]] – maps three character ISO 639-2, -2T, -3 codes to two character ISO 639-1 codes – from [http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages]

== Testcases ==

The module does not require the myriad {{tld|ISO 639 name ??}} templates, {{tlx|Language with name}}, {{tlx|Language with name and transliteration}}, and {{tlx|transl}}. It provides error checking and reporting to ensure that the html rendered is correct for browsers and screen readers.
