C933103 added a comment. Well, as mentioned, the code cmg previously suggested as possible alternative is actually not appropriate according to email exchanges you have conducted with professors that know more about these terminology. And given the email exchange also confirmed that the current ISO language codes for Mongolian languages doesn't really make much sense either, it would also be wrong to use individual language code for such purpose. So following the convention already used by others should be the most sensible way to represent such text string in the wiki. But then, if certain member of Langcom stand firm on their position and unwilling to change, then no amount of sensibility can force them to change.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: C933103Cc: Badaa, ChristianKl, C933103, jhsoby, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Badaa added a comment. Thanks @C933103 . The dialects and languages are different terms in ISO standard. In every language (whatever individual or macro) has multiple dialects. I think dialects are not relevant in this scope. Buryat and Oirat people can also communicate with Mongolian script or orally (after some hours). As already mentioned, actual problem is they use different scripts. Technically, it's easier to handle such scripts (Mongolian script, Mongolian cyrillic, Buryat (cyrillic), Khalmik (cyrillic) etc.) as individual languages. That is probably the reason why Buriat (bua) is defined as individual language. Defining Mongolian as macro language is non-sense. Oh my God. Bua is now also macro language. That is too exaggerated!

Popolon added a comment. I agree with you on the point that Phags'pa is only a writing of the Yuan dynasty, the official language is at this time Khalkh or it's classical Mongolian version. The scripts are generally the same in Mongolian central dialects (if we don't think about frontier between (Russia/Outer-Mongolia)-cyrillic script and China-mongolian script). They are mutually understandable. https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/蒙古語方言列表 I won't repeat the likely problem answers again, unless if your both are even concerning this zhwiki list article. 方言 means dialect, not language. We can extend codes later to them, but after having at least at first main languages. The mvf is a well established/formalized form of Mongolian, in china, referenced in few dictionaries. And it would be very helpful to represent inner mongolian names. It is already used in at least en.wiktionary.org and fr.wiktionary.org. They are very distinct Mongolian languages groups from central Mongolian, like Buryat, Kalmyk (also called oirat). There are also languages that are very far from central mongolian: Yugur, divisied in two groups, one with more Mongolian/turkic proximities (Western Yugur), and the other that is a dialect of Mandarin with mongolian vocabulary (Eastern Yugur). Tu/Monguer, a mongolian language, that mix Chinese and Tibetan dialects. Mongolian from North of Afghanistan or from Kalmykia (eastern Europe) are probably very different from their central Asian counterparts. In the link given, they say that beside Khalkh/Halh, in China there are 3 important mongolian groupes : http://www.zlck.com/蒙古语/方言.html ① Inner mongolian dialect (内蒙古方言) with lot of varieties, used as main language in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. (In this group, Chalkhar/察哈尔 (mvf) is the main/official one). ② Buryat (巴尔虎-布里亚特方言, bxu for its chinese form), with ③ Kalmyk aka Oirat (卫拉特方言, xal) spoken in Xinjiang (aka related to Zungars), Qinghai (aka related to Qoshots, aka Zungars that estabished to Qinghai lake in 15th century) and Gansu (I suppose Qoshotos/Zungats at the border between of Gansu with Xinjiang or Qinghai). The Eastern Europe (Kalmykia, around the Volga river) is probably very different. Like Quebec dialect of French is very different from French one, Brazilian from Portuguese, American English from UK/Ireland English etc... Don't know which variety of mongolian is spoken in Afghanistan. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Linguistic_map_of_the_Mongolic_languages.pngTASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: PopolonCc: Badaa, ChristianKl, C933103, jhsoby, thiemowmde, Liuxinyu970226, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

C933103 added a comment. @Popolon According to my understanding assuming they are correct understanding, using Arabic as analogy, what you propose would be like making different monolingual value for "Libyan Modern Standard Arabic", "Egyptian Modern Standard Arabic", "Tunisian Modern Standard Arabic". Yes, Libyan/Egyptian/Tunisian Arabic are all different and could be considered as different languages, however there are only one single literary standard here. Surely, there are different phonetic literary standard that more closely reflect individual languages, like the Cyrillic alphabet being used to spell different Mongolic languages, which would warrant the establishment of wiki in each of their individual languages, however there are only one Classical Mongolian Script just like there are only one Modern Standard Arabic. You can say mvf is closest to Classical Mongolian in the same way as Egyptian Arabic being closest to the standard of Modern Standard Arabic, however they are not equal.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: C933103Cc: Badaa, ChristianKl, C933103, jhsoby, thiemowmde, Liuxinyu970226, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Badaa added a comment. Hi, Thanks Gerard M. I just read the Terms and definitions of ISO 639-3. There are following sentences in paragraph 4.2.2 Individual languages: There is no one definition of “language” that is agreed upon by all and appropriate for all purposes. As a result, there can be disagreement, even among speakers or linguistic experts, as to whether two varieties represent dialects of a single language or two distinct languages. For this part of ISO 639, judgements regarding when two varieties are considered to be the same or different languages are based on a number of factors, including linguistic similarity, intelligibility, a common literature, the views of speakers concerning the relationship between language and identity, and other factors. The following basic criteria are followed. Two related varieties are normally considered varieties of the same language if speakers of each variety have inherent understanding of the other variety (that is, can understand based on knowledge of their own variety without needing to learn the other variety) at a functional level. Where spoken intelligibility between varieties is marginal, the existence of a common literature or of a common ethnolinguistic identity with a central variety that both understand can be strong indicators that they should nevertheless be considered varieties of the same language. Where there is enough intelligibility between varieties to enable communication, the existence of well- established, distinct ethnolinguistic identities can be a strong indicator that they should nevertheless be considered to be different languages. and under 4.2.4Dialects The linguistic varieties denoted by each of the identifiers in this part of ISO 639 are assumed to be distinct languages and not dialects of some language, even though for some purposes some users may consider a variety listed in this part of ISO 639 to be a “dialect” rather than a “language”. In this standard, the term dialect refers to any sub-variety of a language such as might be based on geographic region, age, gender, social class, time period, or the like. From these definitions, I would conclude Mongolian is an individual language rather than macro language. After all, it is correct my first assumption in previous comment. But I tend to think, to change/fix such an aged standard is almost impossible or? Thus, I read furthermore ISO 639-3, there are following: The dialects of a language are included within the denotation represented by the identifier for that language. Thus, each language identifier represents the complete range of all the spoken or written varieties of that language, including any standardized form. For applications in which it is necessary to identify dialects, a separate standard may be developed that provides identifiers for dialects, or that combines identifiers from this or other parts of ISO 639 with other distinguishing identificational qualifiers. See 4.7 for further discussion. ... 4.7Scriptsandregions Some languages are written in different scripts by different user communities. A single language identifier is provided for a language in this part of ISO 639 even though the language may be written in more than one script. For applications in which it is necessary to identify distinct writing systems of a single language, a separate standard may be developed that combines identifiers from this or other parts of ISO 639 with script identifiers from ISO 15924. ... In ISO 15924, Mongolian script is defined as Mong (145) see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15924 I also recognized that at least Firefox and Chrome (webkits) implemented the the lang attributes of "mn-Mong" for html tag. If I declare , then I see correct scrolling behavior for vertical layout.

Badaa added a comment. Hi, I am from Mongolia. What are the definitions of a macro language and a language? If a language is a (mainly spoken) system to communicate among people then Mongolian is not macro language. Because, I can communicate without any problems with mongolian people in Inner Mongolia (now in China) and the Mongolians in Buriat (now in Russia) even easier than the communication among German in Bayern, in NRW or in Berlin. If a language is a superordinate concept of scripts then Mongolian language has some totally different scripts like traditional (vertical Mongolian), Khalkh (Cyrillic), Buriat (Cyrillic), Halimag (known also as Kalmyk, Cyrillic and Latin) etc. In Mongolia, the official script is Cyrillic since 1947 and tried to revert to Mongolian script. Everyone in Mongolia learns at school both scripts Mongolian script and Cyrillic since 1980 until now. "Mongolian Language law" has been adopted and is effective since July 1st of 2015. In this law, Mongolian script will be introduced in stages and state and local government is to conduct their correspondence in both Cyrillic and Mongolian script. This provision is to be effective starting January 1st of 2025. In my opinion to disjoint too much is wrong way and exaggerated. The Mongolian is not macro language and could be very well handled like German. (de - German, de-AT - Austria, de-CH Switzerland) mn (ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ Mongolian vertical) mn-MN (Монгол Cyrillic) mn-CN (ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ Mongolian vertical) mn-RU (Буриад Cyrillic) etc. If scripts play in main role then Mongolian is a macro language and it should be handled as mn-Mong, mn-Cyrl etc. But before we to discuss further, we need to clarify and isolate what is a language and what is a script.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: BadaaCc: Badaa, ChristianKl, C933103, jhsoby, thiemowmde, Liuxinyu970226, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

C933103 added a comment. @GerardM but traditional mongolian script is like literary chinese, which is universal to every languages that were using it as their written form and thus it is invalid to say which language they belong to. Just like you can say Nihon Shoki is written in Chinese but you can't say it is written with Mandarin or Hakka. The situation with traditional Mongolian script is the same. And also, it would be incorrect [despite being a convention] to call those Mongolian text middle/classical Mongolian language just like you can't equate literary chinese to old/middle chinese, as there are still some changes being made to the written language that set the old language at that time apart from the written form continually being used.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: C933103Cc: C933103, jhsoby, thiemowmde, Liuxinyu970226, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, D3r1ck01, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

C933103 added a comment. @GerardM 0. According to the "Requirements for a new language code" linked above, the WIP requirement for a new language code is a valid IETF tag not a valid ISO code Macrolanguages in ISO 639-3 are still individual languages in ISO 639-2, and definition of macrolanguage in ISO 639-3 is "clusters of closely-related language varieties that [...] can be considered distinct individual languages, yet in certain usage contexts a single language identity for all is needed". and thus macrolanguages should be treated as an lanuage with valid language code.

Popolon added a comment. Mong is for uiyghur-mongolian script. Classical mongolian, use this script, not soyombo or Phags-pa. Phags-pa was only used about 1 century. -Mong is probably not needed for this. Cyrillic is only used for buryat (in Republic of Buryatia), kalmyk (in Republic of Kalmykia), and khalkha language (in Outer Mongolia) as far I know, but at least khakha and kalmyk use mongolian script (in China, outer-Mongolia and kalmykia).

So until there are ISO-639-3 codes for these variants, this isn't really revelant.

The same way english/american/australian english should have separated entity (centre/theatre in english english, center/theater in american english for example. so en, should be banned too...

mn is used as language for standard mongolian in wikipedia (mn.wikipedia.org, tag in wikidata, so if it's not valide, this should be removed.
https://www.ethnologue.com/language/mvf for ethnologue, mvf, is only a geographical distinction, mvf is for china, mainly because in china they don't use cyrilic script for writting mongolian, but on some border cities with outer mongolia like Erenhot （chinese + mongolian script + cyrillic mongolian) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Erenhot_port.jpg On North-East of inner mongolia, (Manzhouli, and lot of cities in Hulunbuir, russian in cyrillic is used instead).
One of the dictionary I bought in Hailaer (Hulunbuir), one among several where it's wrote {{lang|zh|汉蒙词典}} / {{lang|mn-Mong|ᠬᠢᠲᠠᠳ ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ ᠲᠣᠯᠢ}} edited in Bejing. They uses mongolian script as the destination is inner-mongolia mongolians or other people that want to read/write their script, used officialy in inner-mongolia. https://book.douban.com/subject/1737776/
One of the several dictionnaries on the internet for mongolian (using several historical dictionaries) where mongolian script is used beside Cyrillic, sometimes latin script and tibetan (for words used in both languages) https://www.istb.univie.ac.at/mongol/mng/sub/ references used are text from gengis khan time to author time (19th century to today), covering all the mongolian areas. In cyrillic, buriat use more characters than standard mongolian/khalkha language, in oirat, there is another writing system called Todo bitchig.
An official site of the (outer) Mongolia government, that use mainly cyrillic mongolian, and display mongolian script version for every words and is still called mongol toli (mongolian dictionary, not khalkha dictionnary, there are several dialects in outer Mongolia too): https://mongoltoli.mn/

Nikki added a comment. @thiemowmde: The aim here, as I understand it, is to distinguish the two scripts, particularly because of the extra display support Mongolian script needs, not to distinguish the khk variety associated with Mongolia from the mvf variety associated with China. If that is right, I think having "mn-mong" would be the only option that fully meets the original aim. I don't know what the differences between khk and mvf are other than the preferred script, but I find it highly unlikely that separate codes would have been assigned if the only difference were the script. Mongolian script was previously used in Mongolia and it appears that there is also some modern usage of it (Mongolian bank notes and coins look to have Mongolian script on them). That implies that it would be wrong to assume all text using the Mongolian script is mvf which then implies that only having khk and mvf would be insufficient as a way to reliably distinguish scripts. It also seems to be very uncommon to specify which variety of Mongolian is being talked about when providing names (etc) in Mongolian script, judging by Wikipedia articles I've looked at. If the source only says that the name (etc) that I'd like to add is Mongolian in Mongolian script, I have no idea how I would determine that it is definitely khk or mvf - I would just be guessing and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. Without "mn-mong" and without sources providing enough information to select something more specific, people are likely to continue selecting "mn" for both Cyrillic and Mongolian script.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: NikkiCc: Nikki, thiemowmde, Liuxinyu970226, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, D3r1ck01, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Popolon added a comment. In my opinon, as a very beginner in mongolian language, every written words I seen in dictionaries (old one like Lessig or current one), seems to match with mvf one I seen on fr.wiktionary, wrote by a french in inner-Mongolia. (China), I learned with the pronunciation of Ulanbaatar (khalkha), as that's the only one available on methods in Europe, exchanged most with few friends from this city in France). In Inner Mongolia, I exchanged with Mongolians from Chifeng, the woman immediately said to her husband I spoke with an outer Mongolian pronunciation, but was able to understand and I understand that she said that. I exchanged during a short ride with a guy from Ordos, we can exchange some sentences without problems, we speak more in Chinese, as I have a better level in this language. Both this area are from south of inner Mongolia In Hailaer/Hulunbuir (far north-east) I meet a teacher that has a really different pronunciation for one word I known often used in lot of songs but we only exchanged in mandarin, she only pronounced this word. She give me a wechat/weixin account with Mongolian lessons from her area, and as far I read, everything seems to match (not read a lot). I bought some chinese<=>Mongolian dictionary, from inner Mongolia at this place, there is wrote Mongolian-Chinese dictionaries in both script (Chinese and Mongol), nothing dialect specific. Every word I seen (only few for now) matches words from dictionaries of outer Mongolia. In Chinese zh- (as zhongwen) for mandarin and it's dialects, writing is the same, pronunciation _expression_ are different. Khalkha and Chakhar. (one of the main language in Inner Mongolia used for mvf) are only dialects of standard khalkha Mongolian), this is not fixed with characters like Chinese, so these changes in pronunciation can probably be wrote differently, I still never matched the case, but I'm a very beginner. mn is for the Standard Khalkha Mongolian, in my sense, it can be used as zh is used for standard mandarin and all the dialects of mandarin, other han chinese language use a different code too (yue for Cantonese, wuu for Wu (Shanghai and around), nan for Minnan [[Mongolian language]] article in English, seems to confirm that. It should be nice to have at least this, for first and extend later if needed for mvf, and bua/xal that are different Mongolian languages.

Should we add it as a monolingual code to Wikibase, or favor khk and mvf? These are listed as known language codes in at least one extension (mvf only in Babel, which is not optimal).TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137810EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: thiemowmdeCc: thiemowmde, Liuxinyu970226, Lydia_Pintscher, GerardM, Aklapper, Zppix, Popolon, D3r1ck01, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T137810: [Task] Add monolingual language code mn-Mong
GerardM added a comment. Hoi, The practise of dropping upper case in the ISO-15934 is a MediaWiki practice that is incorrect. In the grand scheme of things it is only a minor matter. Mong is the correct code for the Mongolian script. The reason why mn-mong is not there is that it does not make sense to associate a scriot with a macro language, mn is in itself NOT a language it includes multiple languages and it is why it will not get support for a new language for a new project. So in conclusion, mn-mong can be understood to mean any Mongolian text written in the Mongolian script. In the current understanding of languages it is not precise and it is why it will not be approved for a new WMF project.

thiemowmde added a comment. Wow, that's a lot of information. ;-) Thank you very much. I did a search on our global code base: MediaWiki does have support for many …-cyrl and …-latn locales. There is never a country code attached. It's just "ku-latn", "kk-cyrl" and so on. Note that everything I found is lower case. I wonder why, because the wfBCP47 function MediaWiki core provides does support normalizing these codes, and normalizes them all to upper case "ku-Latn", "kk-Cyrl" and so on. I could not find a single mention of a code ending in …-mong, neither upper nor lower case. I was able to find a mention of mn-mong in an old version of ULS, which derives it's data from CLDR. But this code is missing in the current version. I wonder why? So these questions remain: How "official" is mn-Mong? Should we support it no matter what? What if we need to drop or change it later? Is this worth it? Should we add it in lower case, to be consistent with all the other lower case codes we already support?

GerardM added a comment. Hoi, mn is the code ISO-639 for the language, Mong is the CLDR code for the script and CN is a code for the country where it is practices. The correct LANGUAGE code is either khk or mvf because as a macro language that does not have an existing project it is not eligible.

Popolon added a comment. In language code, first part is language, second part is script (Mong|Han|Latn|Arab...) and the third the country, here CN (China), MN (Mongolia) The traditional Mongolian script is mainly used in Inner-Mongolia (China), but is since few year recognized again as official language in (outer) Mongolia. it is also used in Buryatia and Kalmykia (where this should probably be respectively bua-Mong, xal-Mong, Mongolian sub-languages using uyghur-mongolian script). So : mn is used mainly for Khalkha, official (outer) Mongolia Mongol language is generally seen as standard mongolian mn. mvf (peripheral mongolian) is generally used to specify that's one of the china mongolian languages. xal2 bua for buryat xal for oriat Mong is used for vertical "uyghur-mongolian" script (adapted from old-uyghur script) Cyrl is used for cyrillic writing, official in Mongolia and Mongolian inhabited republics of russian federation. Latn is generally used for latin transliteration ( there are case of Arab, Han transliteration too) Mongolians use lot of writing system in their history, but that was often used for about one century and/or specific cases : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_writing_systems uyghur mongolian, is the most used from Gengis Khan time to today (about 800 years). Manchus (and more generally several tungustic languages) use a variant of this system. CN is for China MN is for Mongolia RU is for russian federation (I don't believe there are specific code for RF republics).
