Some examples are shown on the right
(red links indicate we have no person on WikiIndex who speaks that language at that level)

This user language template renders the appropriate specific language 'babel' user-box (examples shown right); as used in individual user pages of those who identify their spoken language(s), along with any 'parent' category and its associated sub-categories of category: Wiki People by Language. This template has two (2) input requirements – immediately after {{Language| . . ..

  • 1st — ISO 639 code – the two- (or three-) letter ISO 639 language code;
  • 2nd — level – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or N (for 'native').

Usage

{{Language|ISO 639 code|level=?}}
Where . . .

  • ISO 639 code — the two-or-three letter language code, and;
  • level=? — a number or letter indicating how well the language is spoken:
    • 0 — not able to speak
    • 1 — basic
    • 2 — intermediate
    • 3 — advanced
    • 4 — near native
    • 5 — professional
    • N — native

Find code

The English Wikipedia has articles on the ISO 639 language codes. To find the specific code for a language, see the list of ISO 639-1 codes; and in the table of languages, look at the column saying 639-1. If the language you seek is not there, see Wikipedia: List of ISO 639-2 codes, and look at the Alpha-3 column. If it still is not there, look at the ISO 639-3 codes list, and click a letter. Finally, if it is not there yet, write the name of the required languages in English. You may also ask someone.

Categorisation

All main language categories can be found at category: Wiki People by Language, and all sub-categories can be found at Category:LanguageSpeakers (#), where Language is the anglicised name of a language, and # is a number between 0–5 or an N.
