TASK DESCRIPTION Currently monolingual text statements and lexemes have separate lists of additional languages. There are multiple monolingual text properties designed for use on lexemes. Therefore all lexeme language codes should be usable for monolingual text statements. By definition, monolingual text statements include text. If we can represent something as a monolingual text statement, it contains content which could have lexemes. Therefore all monolingual text language codes should be usable for lexemes. Advantages of combining the two lists: - More consistent data representation - right now we have to use one language code in some situations and another in others. - More predictable for users - users don't expect language codes to sometimes work and sometimes not work. - Easier to maintain - there would be fewer lists of languages to update. Potential issues: - What about special language codes which aren't for a particular language? Monolingual text allows `und`, `mis`, `mul` and `zxx`. We already have `mis` for lexemes but what about the others?
