--- Comment #3 from Donald Lancon <dc...@obkb.com> 2011-09-27 07:09:16 UTC --- After I posted my comment I noticed that there are actually a great many languages for which the "localname" is the same as the "name". A full list appears below, in case someone needs it (and doesn't feel like generating it themselves). Some of these are actually "legitimate" duplications, in that the name in English really is the same as in the native language (e.g., af = Afrikaans). Most of the rest seem to be missing a proper name in English (e.g., bxr = "Буряад"), wherever that should be specified. But some actually seem to be missing a proper _native_ language name (although I haven't done any research to reveal exactly which ones those would be). Presumably, based on the above comments, anyone who can actually fix the problem(s) would be able tell what information is missing where. In the list below I've given my suggestions [in brackets] for what the English versions should be when they differ from the native names, based on my own (somewhat old) records. I haven't "verified" the native names, although Wikipedia articles could obviously be used to do this. (As you may know, the naming of languages can be a contentious topic...) af = Afrikaans ak = Akan als = Alemannisch ["Alemannic"] bcl = Bikol Central ["Central Bicolano"] be-x-old = Беларуская (тарашкевіца) ["Belarusian (Tarashkevitsa)"] bi = Bislama bjn = Bahasa Banjar ["Banjar"] bxr = Буряад ["Buryat (Russia)"] cbk-zam = Chavacano de Zamboanga ["Zamboanga Chavacano"] ceb = Cebuano cho = Choctaw diq = Zazaki eo = Esperanto fiu-vro = Võro gag = Gagauz hif = Fiji Hindi ho = Hiri Motu ia = Interlingua ie = Interlingue ig = Igbo io = Ido jbo = Lojban kg = Kongo kl = Kalaallisut ["Greenlandic"] kr = Kanuri lad = Ladino lbe = Лакку ["Lak"] lij = Líguru ["Ligurian"] lmo = Lumbaart ["Lombard"] map-bms = Basa Banyumasan ["Banyumasan"] mg = Malagasy nds-nl = Nedersaksisch ["Dutch Low Saxon"] nov = Novial nrm = Nouormand ["Norman"] oc = Occitan pag = Pangasinan pcd = Picard pdc = Deitsch ["Pennsylvania German"] pfl = Pälzisch ["Palatinate German"] pih = Norfuk / Pitkern ["Norfolk"] rmy = Romani roa-tara = Tarandíne ["Tarantino"] rw = Kinyarwanda sco = Scots stq = Seeltersk ["Saterland Frisian"] tl = Tagalog tpi = Tok Pisin tw = Twi vec = Vèneto ["Venetian"] vls = West-Vlams ["West Flemish"] vo = Volapük wo = Wolof zh-min-nan = Bân-lâm-gú ["Min Nan"] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
