Template:ISO 639-2

ISO 639-2: [[ISO-639-2:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]

---

For

A shortcut template which creates an interwiki link to the ISO 639-2 Identifier Documentation of the requested two-letter (alpha-2) language code on the ISO 639-2 Registration Authority website (one of the three language code sets) at LoC.gov/standards/iso639-2/ from the Library of Congress at Washington, DC in the United States (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), one of the official language standards authorities of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).[1] Specifically, this language template creates a basic unformatted interwiki link, visually very similar to a normal 'internal' wikilink; meaning this can be used within conventional textual prose of any article here on WikiIndex.

Usage

Code

{{ISO 639-2|zh}}

Output

ISO 639-2: zh
