Usage

{{language|code|level}}

  • Code* = the two/three code acronym for the language
  • Level = A number/letter 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

See Wikipedia: List of ISO 639-1 codes, and look at the column saying "639-1". If your language isn't there, see Wikipedia: List of ISO 639-2 codes, and look at the Alpha-3 column. If it still isn't there, look at the ISO 639-3 codes list and click a letter. If it isn't there yet, write the language's name in English. You may also ask someone.
