It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This Lua module is used on approximately 1,720,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module depends on the following other modules:

This module holds various support tables used by Module:Lang.

lang_name_table – this table provides language name data used in the creation of categories and, for the {{lang-??}} templates, the language name annotation
override – this table overrides data in lang_name_table; commonly used when an en.wiki article title differs from the name for the standard's language
rtl_scripts – a list of ISO 15924 scripts that are written right-to-left; data taken from the table at ISO 15924#List of codes
translit_title_table – a table of tables that is used in the creation of the title= attribute of the <i>...</i> tags that wrap transliterated text; data adapted from {{transliteration}}
article_name – this table overrides lang_name_table and override for (typically) disambiguated en.wiki article names
