# World languages

Repositories of World spoken languages.

## Languages included

The repository consists of languages stored in `JSON` format in the `dist` folder.

Including codes such as:

- `dist/639-1.json` [639-1](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:List_of_language_names_ordered_by_code)

- `dist/bcp-47.json` [Unicode BCP 47 locale identifier](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Canonical_Unicode_Locale_Identifiers) [Table](https://www.fincher.org/Utilities/CountryLanguageList.shtml) [Language designators with regions](https://lingohub.com/developers/supported-locales/language-designators-with-regions) WIP

## Naming convention

Basic gist:

- Use 2-letter codes from ISO 639-1 where they exist (en, fr, eo)

- Fall back to 3-letter codes from ISO 639-2 where there isn't one (ger, art, cel)

- Fall back to IANA-defined tags elsewise (i-tsu)

- Use country or region/dialect/subgroup subtags where necessary to distinguish some of the more general codes (sgn-US, cel-gaulish, art-loglan)

## Contributions

Any contribution is highly appreciated.
