Finding and retrieving languages
[မႄးထတ်း]The module exports a number of functions that are used to find languages.
Language objects
[မႄးထတ်း]A Language object is returned from one of the functions above. It is a Lua representation of a language and the data associated with it. It has a number of methods that can be called on it, using the : syntax. For example:
local m_languages = require("Module:languages")
local lang = m_languages.getByCode("fr")
local name = lang:getCanonicalName()
-- "name" will now be "French"
