NAME
I18N::LangTags::List -- tags and names for human languages
SYNOPSIS
use I18N::LangTags::List;
print "Parlez-vous... ", join(', ',
I18N::LangTags::List::name('elx') || 'unknown_language',
I18N::LangTags::List::name('ar-Kw') || 'unknown_language',
I18N::LangTags::List::name('en') || 'unknown_language',
I18N::LangTags::List::name('en-CA') || 'unknown_language',
), "?\n";
prints:
Parlez-vous... Elamite, Kuwait Arabic, English, Canadian English?
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a function
"I18N::LangTags::List::name( langtag ) " that takes a
language tag (see I18N::LangTags) and returns the best
attempt at an English name for it, or undef if it can't
make sense of the tag.
The function I18N::LangTags::List::name(...) is not
exported.
This module also provides a function
"I18N::LangTags::List::is_decent( langtag )" that returns
true iff the language tag is syntactically valid and is
for general use (like "fr" or "fr-ca", below). That is,
it returns false for tags that are syntactically invalid
and for tags, like "aus", that are listed in brackets
below. This function is not exported.
The map of tags-to-names that it uses is accessible as
%I18N::LangTags::List::Name, and it's the same as the list
that follows in this documentation, which should be useful
to you even if you don't use this module.
ABOUT LANGUAGE TAGS
Internet language tags, as defined in RFC 3066, are a
formalism for denoting human languages. The two-letter
ISO 639-1 language codes are well known (as "en" for
English), as are their forms when qualified by a country
code ("en-US"). Less well-known are the arbitrary-length
non-ISO codes (like "i-mingo"), and the recently (in 2001)
introduced three-letter ISO-639-2 codes.
Remember these important facts:
o Language tags are not locale IDs. A locale ID is
written with a "_" instead of a "-", (almost?) always
matches "m/^\w\w_\w\w\b/", and means something
different than a language tag. A language tag denotes
perl v5.10.0 2008-09-30 1
I18N::LangTags::LPerl3Programmers ReferenI18N::LangTags::List(3p)
a language. A locale ID denotes a language as used in
a particular place, in combination with non-linguistic
location-specific information such as what currency is
used there. Locales also often denote character set
information, as in "en_US.ISO8859-1".
o Language tags are not for computer languages.
o "Dialect" is not a useful term, since there is no
objective criterion for establishing when two
language-forms are dialects of eachother, or are
separate languages.
o Language tags are not case-sensitive. en-US, en-us,
En-Us, etc., are all the same tag, and denote the same
language.
o Not every language tag really refers to a single
language. Some language tags refer to conditions:
i-default (system-message text in English plus maybe
other languages), und (undetermined language). Others
(notably lots of the three-letter codes) are
bibliographic tags that classify whole groups of
languages, as with cus "Cushitic (Other)" (i.e., a
language that has been classed as Cushtic, but which
has no more specific code) or the even less
linguistically coherent sai for "South American Indian
(Other)". Though useful in bibliography, SUCH TAGS
ARE NOT FOR GENERAL USE. For further guidance, email
me.
o Language tags are not country codes. In fact, they
are often distinct codes, as with language tag ja for
Japanese, and ISO 3166 country code ".jp" for Japan.
LIST OF LANGUAGES
The first part of each item is the language tag, between
{...}. It is followed by an English name for the language
or language-group. Language tags that I judge to be not
for general use, are bracketed.
This list is in alphabetical order by English name of the
language.
