Add monolingual language code lij-MC
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please add the language code lij-MC to the list of language codes supported for monolingual text values.
It stands for Q56422 / Monégasque
which uses latin and is one dialect of ligure used in Monaco which seems to be one more or less official language (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymne_Monégasque )

@Amire80 @jhsoby What's the opinion of LangCom? And if it can be added which code should be used?

lij-MC has few direct reference but I believe it's the correct since monegasque is a dialecte (-MC) derivated from ligurian (lij).

@Bouzinac Thanks. Forgot about dialects.
@Amire80 @jhsoby can Monegasque be added as a monolingual language?

How distinct is it from lij with no qualifiers? Do they have different spelling rules? Are there cases where the same thing would have to be written in both lij and lij-mc?

I'll take first 26 swadesh words between ligure and munegu, with, for
instance, this source

Oh, thank you so much for the link to the dictionary!

Le sentiment, peut-être illusoire, que l'introduction à un dictionnaire n'est jamais beaucoup consultée nous fait réduire la nôtre à l'essentiel. — I have to disagree with that, I love reading introductions to dictionaries :)

More to the point of this task, however, I'd love to learn how would this language be actually used in Wikidata. If it's for Lexemes, then the differences in spelling definitely justify adding it. If it's for values of properties in Wikidata, however, then I'd love to see some examples. I might be wrong, but I think that Lexemes and monolingual values are distinct.

I might be wrong, but I think that Lexemes and monolingual values are distinct.

Yes, they are distinct. Lexeme languages don't include language codes for monolingual languages.

I might be wrong, but I think that Lexemes and monolingual values are distinct.

Yes, they are distinct. Lexeme languages don't include language codes for monolingual languages.

So for lexemes it's definitely OK. For values, I'd probably approve it, too, but I would love an example.

For the values on Wikidata, here's two examples where it'd be useful.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the examples! OK to add it.

@Lydia_Pintscher Could you have someone check the Lexeme patch as well? It's blocking several other Lexeme language code tickets
@Raymond Could you check the CLDR patch?
