Parameters
This template accepts the following parameters:
 * name : name of language #REQUIRED
 * altname : additional name of the language
 * nativename : native or a second additional name (if nativename is to be used, and altname parameter MUST be defined)
 * acceptance : questionable acceptance/status of the language: unattested, spurious, etc.
 * pronunciation : IPA pronunciation of the native name
 * states : countries in which it is mainly spoken
 * state : alias for states
 * region : geographic region in which it is mainly spoken
 * ethnicity : people for whom this is the ethnically native language; also good for the ethnic population if different from the number of speakers (although the names chosen for the articles on the people and on the language will generally be the same, it may be appropriate to pipe in the native name of the people here)
 * speakers :
 * date : date of estimate of number of speakers/signers (must start with a 4-digit year: see next)
 * dateprefix : any text wanted inside the parentheses before the date; a space must be explicitly included at the end
 * era : era of use of a historical language, such as one that developed into something else; 'speakers' will not display
 * extinct : date of extinction, or information about extinction; 'speakers' will not display
 * revived : Date and/or population of attempted revival of extinct language
 * revived-category : optional name (without "Category:") of appropriate subcategory of Category:Language revival (which is used by default if revived has a value); or   to suppress categorization
 * ref : A reference for the number of speakers, placed after the date, if any. This can be any inline citation or a predefined code such as e19, linglist, ne2010, etc. For more details, see the documentation at Template:Infobox language/ref.
 * refname : Name used in reference generated by certain 'ref' parameter values such as e19. It defaults to the value of the 'name' parameter or PAGENAME.
 * speakers2 : 2nd line (2nd estimate, 2nd country, L2 speakers, etc.)
 * familycolor : appropriate language family #REQUIRED
 * See table below for list of options. Please do not use other names, because they will not be recognised, and the table will be colored grey.
 * In most cases, 'familycolor' will trigger a default entry for the 'fam1' field, so that field is not necessary (you can continue will 'fam2'), but you can override this by entering something under 'fam1'. For areal colors (American, Khoisan, Paleosiberian, etc.), you will be prompted for a 'fam1' entry if you do not provide one. If 'isolate' or 'unclassified' is used, the fam1–xx tree will not display.

 * creator : name of language creator
 * created : year of first creation
 * setting : the use or setting for a created language
 * posteriori : natural-language sources of a created language
 * dia1 :
 * dia20 : primary dialects
 * dialects : whatever you want to say; dia1–xx will not display

 * stand6 : sixth standardized register
 * standards : whatever you want to say
 * script : the writing system(s) used for the language by literate speakers
 * sign : signed forms (manually coded language)
 * nation : list of countries in which it is an official language
 * minority : list of countries in which it is a recognised/protected minority language
 * agency : regulatory body or language academy for the language

 * iso1comment : for comments to not interfere with the link
 * iso2 : the ISO 639-2 code for the language (not for its family)
 * iso2b : the ISO 639-2 bibliographic code
 * iso2t : the ISO 639-2 terminological code
 * iso2comment : for comments to not interfere with the link(s)
 * iso3 : the ISO 639-3 code for the language.
 * Field will display even if left empty, unless 'lc1' etc. is used.
 * Use 'none' if the language (not dialect) has no iso3 code, and the article will be added to Category:Languages without iso3 codes.
 * Leave empty for a dialect that has no iso3 code, but the language it belongs to does; in this case, also use |isoexception=dialect.
 * Leave empty for a historical variety that has no iso3 code, but its modern version does; in this case, also use |isoexception=historical.
 * Leave blank for a protolanguage, and use |isoexception=protolanguage.

 * Leave empty for a dialect that has no iso3 code, but the language it belongs to does; in this case, also use |isoexception=dialect.
 * Leave empty for a historical variety that has no iso3 code, but its modern version does; in this case, also use |isoexception=historical.
 * Leave blank for a protolanguage, and use |isoexception=protolanguage.
 * Use 'linglist' if it has an iso3 code, but this is maintained at Linguist List instead of at SIL. Add the code itself under |linglist=. (This is not necessary if the SIL page provides its own link to the Linguist List page.)


 * iso3comment : for comments to not interfere with the link
 * isoexception : a maintenance field to organize cleanup categories.
 * Excludes article from the Category:Language articles without language codes if set to any of the following values:
 * dialect (used for a dialect that does not itself have an ISO code, although the language it belongs to does; adds article to the Category:Dialects of languages with ISO 639-3 code)
 * historical (used for a historical language that does not itself have an ISO code, although its modern version does; adds article to the Category:Historical forms of languages with ISO codes)
 * protolanguage (used for protolanguages without ISO codes; adds article to the Category:Protolanguages without ISO codes)

Additional parameters
There are several more parameters that can be defined between the opening and closing lines. These are:
 * | altname = additional name of the language [not every one, but one a reader would be likely to look for]
 * | nativename = native name, or a second alternative name [most cases as of 2012 not actually the native name]
 * | states = countries in which it is mainly spoken (multigenerational communities) ← you do not have to define both this and region. Do not use flag icons except for national or official status (WP:INFOBOXFLAG).
 * | region = geographic region in which it is mainly spoken ← you do not have to define both this and states; use this parameter for a single statement about geographic distribution. It is not for the broader region where the states are located, but rather the regions within the country, or across countries, where it is spoken. (That is, do not add SE Asia if we state it's in Laos, or West Africa if we state it's in Mali.)
 * | speakers = the number of native speakers of the language. If unknown, enter $\langle?\rangle$ and do not enter NA for the date (this causes the article to be listed in the Category:Language articles with speakers set to 'unknown', a hidden maintenance category). If no native speakers, enter $\langlenone\rangle$. Otherwise, if no date is supplied, missing date will be displayed. Use   to round to 2 significant figures while retaining the exact figure from the reference.
 * | date = the date of publication of the estimate of the number of speakers.
 * Used for calculations for obsolete data, so needs to start with a 4-digit year. Exception: If $\langleNA\rangle$ is entered, nothing will display. If $\langleno date\rangle$ is entered, "no date" will display. Do not enter a date parameter at all if speakers is set to $\langlenone\rangle$.
 * Articles with old dates (currently ≥ 30 years) appear in Category:Language articles with old speaker data.
 * | ref = reference for the speaker data.
 * If $\langlee17\rangle$ is entered, this will automatically generate a reference to the Ethnologue 17 article that bears the ISO 639-3 code entered at 'iso3'.
 * To link to the auto-generated reference from elsewhere in the article, use.
 * $\langlee16\rangle$ and  or $\langlee15\rangle$ and   can be used to ref the 16th or 15th edition, for example for extinct languages which are no longer supported.
 * $\langlelinglist\rangle$ and  can be used to ref the MultiTree entry at the Linguist List.
 * $\langlene2007/ne2010\rangle$ and  can be used to ref the Swedish national encyclopedia, which we use for many of the world's top 100 languages
 * $\langleinali\rangle$ and  can be used to ref Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas
 * Similarly, aiatsis can be used to link to the  ref generated by the info box for the AIATSIS entry for Australian languages.  (For Glottolog and Maho's edition of the Guthrie list for Bantu languages,   or   needs to be added manually, as they do not provide population data.)
 * | speakers2 = a 2nd line for speaker data, such as L2 speakers, appearing after the date.
 * If this is a second line of L1 speakers, it should be arranged so that, if there are two dates cited, the oldest appears in the date parameter, for automated update calculations. Data from different countries should not be added together if they are not comparable: say if one is from 1973 and another from 2006, or if one is rounded to the nearest million and another is on the order of 10,000.
 * | iso1 = the ISO 639-1 code for the language
 * | iso2 = the ISO 639-2 code for the language; creates a link to the ISO page ← see just hereafter for the situation where a language has two ISO 639-2 codes
 * | iso3 = the ISO 639-3 code for the language; creates a link to the ISO page ← see below for the situation where multiple ISO 639-3 codes apply; if there is no ISO 639-3 code, set iso3=none to return the text none and add the article to a list of uncoded languages (if iso3comment is also used, that will display in place of none)
 * Only iso3 will appear (with a dash) if the code is omitted. If a language has two ISO 639-2 codes, one will be defined as the bibliographic code, and the other terminological. These can be added in separate fields using the following parameters:
 * | iso2b = the ISO 639-2 bibliographic code
 * | iso2t = the ISO 639-2 terminological code
 * | lingua = the Linguasphere code for the language
 * | linglist(2,3) = the Linguist List code(s) for the language. May be a proper ISO code maintained at Linguist List, or a local non-ISO code; creates a link to the Linguist List page.
 * | lingname(2,3) = the Linguist List name for the language, or other comment
 * | glotto(2–5) = the Glottolog code for the language. Generates a reference which can be accessed via name="Glottolog(2–5)". Enter "none" if Glottolog does not have a code for the language, "spurious" if Glottolog uses that term. [future: also "unattested"]
 * | glottoname(2–5) = the names to be used for the Glottolog reference(s). If there is more than one box on a page, then you need a different-numbered parameter for each, in order to generate separate footnotes.
 * | guthrie = the Guthrie code for Bantu languages. Generates a reference which can be accessed via name="Guthrie".
 * | aiatsis(2,3) = the AIATSIS code(s) for Australian languages. Generates a reference which can be accessed via name="AIATSIS".
 * | aiatsis(2,3)name = the AIATSIS name, if different from the entry at |name=.
 * | iso3comment = allows a comment in the ISO field that will not interfere with the link
 * | isoexception = handles exceptions to the handling of missing ISO codes; see details above.
 * | ietf = IETF language tag
 * | wikibook = Wikibooks e-book on this language
 * | module = Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one.

Genetic classification
You can use the language template to show the genetic classification of a language at a glance. This classification is displayed as a descending staircase of language families, from the broadest to the most specific. To add the genetic classification use the following:
 * | fam1 = the broadest possible widely accepted language family of which the language is a part ← if this would be exactly the same as you have defined for familycolor, it may be omitted
 * | fam2 = a more specific sub-family
 * | fam3 = a more specific group

You can keep adding parameters in like fashion until you have completed the classification. If you would prefer to enter some other information in this box (for example, disputed), use this parameter instead:
 * | family = whatever you want to say (sequesters the repetition of the name of the language)

This can be set to "na" to avoid specifying a family relationship at all, an for a geographical group that has no single origin.

Ancestral forms may be useful when we have an article on them, or when they have been assigned ISO codes:
 * | ancestor = an ancestral form, such as Old English or Proto-Basque
 * | ancestor2/3 = intermediate ancestral forms, such as Middle English or Aquitanian

Optional parameters
Some parts of the template remain invisible unless they are specifically called. Only use these parameters if they are required. (Common variants of "Latin (alphabet)" redirect to Latin script. For the Latin alphabet itself, add an element such as .)
 * | fontcolor = colour of font against 'familycolor' ← the font colour is usually black, use this to change it if it is difficult to read
 * | pronunciation = pronunciation of the native name of the language in IPA → remember to enclose the transcription in an IPA template such as IPA-all
 * | nation = list of countries in which it is an official language
 * | minority = list of countries in which it is a recognised minority language. This is intended for legal protection and similar de jure recognition, not simply being listed on a census and other de facto recognition.
 * | agency = regulatory body or language academy for the language
 * | extinct = date of extinction, or information about extinction ← this replaces speakers
 * | revived =  date and/or population of attempted revival of extinct language
 * | revived-category =  (or | revived-cat = ) optional name (without "Category:") of appropriate subcategory of Category:Language revival (which is used by default if revived has a value); can be given as | revived-category = nocat  to suppress the categorization entirely, when the language has a separate article about its revival that is already in the category (e.g. Cornish revival is in Category:Celtic language revival, so undefined is used in the infobox at Cornish language).
 * | era = era of use of an ancestral form of a language ← this replaces speakers
 * | script = writing system(s) used to represent the language ← in the form script (instantiation), such as "Latin (English alphabet)"

Language with more than one ISO 639-3 code
Some languages have a number of ISO 639-3 codes, one for each dialect of that language. If you try putting all of these codes in the usual iso3 = parameter, it will get quite messy. Instead, use the following parameters:
 * | lc1 = language code of the first dialect
 * | ld1 = name of the first language dialect

For subsequent dialects, use lc2 and so forth. Lc entries will be automatically linked to the Ethnologue site. Wikipedia articles on the dialects may be linked from the ld entries..

For languages with an ISO 639-3 macrolanguage code and several individual codes, use iso3 for the macrolanguage and lcn, ldn for the individual codes.

Constructed languages
This template is appropriate to use for constructed languages. The following parameters can be used:
 * | creator = name of language creator
 * | created = year of first creation
 * | setting = the use or setting for the language
 * | posteriori = natural-language sources

Using these parameters, or setting familycolor=Conlang, automatically sets the coloured bars of the infobox to background with white fonts, and removes the states and region parameters from use (nation is also disabled). If the iso2 parameter is left undefined, it is treated as being iso2=art. For conlangs, the family or famn parameters are used to describe the hierarchy of purpose of the language, whereas posteriori is used to describe the a posteriori sources on which the conlang draws.

Maps and images
You should not put large images at the top of the language template: they just make it very messy. You can place a small image at the top of the template using the following parameters:
 * | image = image name.png
 * | imagesize = 100px ← overrides the default image size
 * | imagealt = alt text
 * | imagecaption = caption
 * | imageheader = very simple description of image ('logo', 'map', 'script', etc.) ← this is placed in the left-hand column, and so needs to be short

If you have a larger image or two, such as a map, you can place them at the bottom of the template, spanning both columns, with the following parameter:
 * | map(2) = image name.png
 * | mapsize = 300px ← overrides the default image size
 * | mapalt(2) = alt text
 * | mapcaption(2) = caption

The usual image markup applies for both images. Alt text is for visually impaired readers, and the caption is for all readers; typically they should have little in common (see WP:ALT).

For languages spoken in smaller areas, where the location of the language can be reasonably approximated by a point on the map, then a pushpin map can be added:
 * |pushpin_map = The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (e.g. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinate fields (from coordinates) position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically. To show multiple pushpin maps, provide a list of maps separated by #, e.g., California#USA
 * | pushpin_image = (optional) Allows the use of an alternative map; the image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. Equivalent to   parameter in Template:Location map.
 * |pushpin_mapsize = (optional) Must be entered as only a number—do not use px. The default value is 250. Equivalent to  parameter in Template:Location map.
 * |pushpin_map_alt = (optional) Alt text for pushpin map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT. Equivalent to  parameter in Template:Location map.
 * |pushpin_map_caption = (optional) Fill out if a different caption from map_caption is desired. Equivalent to  parameter in Template:Location map.
 * pushpin_label (optional) The text of the label to display next to the identifying mark; a wikilink can be used. If not specified, the label will be the text assigned to the name parameter, and if the name parameter is not specified, the article title. (if none, no label is displayed). Equivalent to  parameter in Template:Location map.
 * pushpin_label_position (optional) The position of the label on the pushpin map relative to the pushpin coordinate marker. Valid options are {left, right, top, bottom, none}. If this field is not specified, the default value is right. Equivalent to  parameter in Template:Location map.

Footer notice
A notice or notices may be placed at the bottom of the infobox:
 * | notice=ipa ← places a notice about the Unicode fonts used for displaying IPA

Error-tracking categories
With 8,000 articles, manual review is insufficient. The following automating tracking categories should catch some of the more common errors. They also produce lists of articles that should be reviewed occasionally, because they lack population data or the data is dated.


 * ISO support
 * – [iso3=] is set to 'none', as it is not (yet) included in ISO. May have other codes.
 * – subcat: most conlangs do not qualify for ISO
 * – setting [iso3=none] and [ref=e17] generates an invalid reference
 * – no language code listed, but not specifically excluded from ISO with [iso3=none]
 * subcat – LingList codes some dialects with sub-ISO codes as "xxx-yyy"
 * – a normal exception, triggered by isoexception=dialect
 * – a normal exception, triggered by isoexception=historical
 * – a normal exception, triggered by isoexception=protolanguage
 * – triggered by [lc1=] without [lc2=] (once used as a way to provide comments; occasionally still appropriate with [iso3=] when a second but redundant ISO code is included)
 * – sometimes the 639-3 code is mistakenly copied into the  field
 * – a normal exception, triggered by isoexception=historical
 * – a normal exception, triggered by isoexception=protolanguage
 * – triggered by [lc1=] without [lc2=] (once used as a way to provide comments; occasionally still appropriate with [iso3=] when a second but redundant ISO code is included)
 * – sometimes the 639-3 code is mistakenly copied into the  field


 * Speaker and date issues
 * – no entry under [speakers=], and not extinct, a sign language, or a conlang
 * – entry error at [date=] (anything other than a 4-digit number at start)
 * – no entry at [date=]
 * – [date=no date], used when the source lacks a date
 * – [date=NA], used when a date does not apply
 * – currently set to > 25 years


 * Classification
 * – generally because [fam1=] is autofilled from [familycolor] to 'American', 'Australian', 'Papuan', 'Khoisan', 'Caucasian', 'Andamanese', or 'Paleosiberian'
 * – no or invalid familycolor
 * – family displayed as 'unknown' (sometimes triggered by SLs or conlangs)


 * Other
 * – manual cat: switch off (to "no") if you judge the article does not need one
 * – images need to be stripped of external file formatting
 * – detects any parameter not in the list, incl. for now anything over dia20
 * – category exists in template but has not been created
 * – category exists in template but has not been created
 * – category exists in template but has not been created
 * – category exists in template but has not been created
