ଛାଞ୍ଚ:langprefix

The following documentation is located at Template:langprefix/doc. ^[edit]

This template returns the prefix to the language template. That is, it returns whatever string needs to be prefixed to the language code, so that when prepended to the language code, it gives the name of the language template for that code. This is used to differentiate regular languages from proto-languages and conlangs.

Usage

{{langprefix|en}} returns nothing (empty string).
{{langprefix|tlh}} returns conl:
{{langprefix|ine}} returns proto:

Adding a language

To add a language, create a subpage of this template, with the code as its name. Then write proto: or conl: in the subpage. See for example: {{langprefix/gem-pro}}.
