မေႃႇၵျူး:etymology languages

This module provides etymology-only languages. It has a separate data module, Module:etymology languages/data, which stores information for etymology-only language codes.

It exports several functions that behave similarly to the ones in Module:languages: getByCode, getByCanonicalName, and makeObject. Etymology language objects returned by getByCode, getByCanonicalName, or makeObject also have many methods that behave like the methods of a language object from Module:languages: getAllNames, getAncestors, getAncestorChain, hasAncestor, getCanonicalName, getDisplayForm, getCategoryName, getCode, getOtherNames, getRawData, getType, getWikidataItem, getWikipediaArticle, makeWikipediaLink, and toJSON.

getCategoryName differs from the corresponding regular-language method in that it does not append the word "language" to the return value, since etymology language categories don't have the word "language" in them.

getParentCode is a unique method (distinct from getAncestors) that returns the parent value from Module:etymology languages/data.
