Features/Language-List

The aim of this page is to build a comprehensive language list to replace the old list on the polyglotclub site.

Columns description

• old: OLD LIST. language name in English. DO NOT CHANGE
• old_lib: OLD LIST. autonym. DO NOT CHANGE
• ISO_639-3: Why several codes per language? there can be only one code per language.
• new: NEW LIST. MAIN language name in English. Length of this field should be short. WARNING: NOT EDITABLE in the future
• update: 'break', 'delete' or 'merge'
• rename: 1 for yes.

List

• When there is a 'break', I need to know which line is 'rename', if all new names are different from the old name. The line 'rename' must be the most spoken/common one. All users will receive this one on their profile
• Risk of duplicate: Example: Nepali (individual language) and Nepali (macrolanguage) : the user will not know the difference.
