Usage

{{language|code|level}}

  • Code = the two/three code acronym for the language
  • Level = a number/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

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.

Categorization

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 name of a language, and # is a number between 0–5 or an N.
