This module is used to retrieve and manage Wiktionary's various language families and the information associated with them. See Wiktionary:Families for more information.
This module provides access to other modules. To access the information from within a template, see Module:families/templates.
The information itself is stored in Module:families/data. This module should not be used directly by any other module, the data should only be accessed through the functions provided by Module:families.
Finding and retrieving families
[සංස්කරණය]The module exports a number of functions that are used to find families.
export.makeObject
[සංස්කරණය]function export.makeObject(code, data)
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
export.getByCode
[සංස්කරණය]function export.getByCode(code)
Finds the family whose code matches the one provided. If it exists, it returns a Family
object representing the
family. Otherwise, it returns nil
.
export.getByCanonicalName
[සංස්කරණය]function export.getByCanonicalName(name)
Look for the family whose canonical name (the name used to represent that family on Wiktionary) matches the one
provided. If it exists, it returns a Family
object representing the family. Otherwise, it returns nil
. The
canonical name of families should always be unique (it is an error for two families on Wiktionary to share the same
canonical name), so this is guaranteed to give at most one result.
export.getByCategoryName
[සංස්කරණය]function export.getByCategoryName(name)
Look for the family whose category name (the name used in categories for that family) matches the one provided.
If it exists, it returns a Family
object representing the family. Otherwise, it returns nil
. In almost all cases,
the category name for a family is its canonical name plus the word "languages", e.g. "Indo-European" has the category
name "Indo-European languages". Where a canonical name ends with "languages" or "lects", the category name is identical
to the canonical name.
Family objects
[සංස්කරණය]A Family
object is returned from one of the functions above. It is a Lua representation of a family and the data associated with it. It has a number of methods that can be called on it, using the :
syntax. For example:
local m_families = require("Module:families")
local fam = m_families.getByCode("ine")
local name = fam:getCanonicalName()
-- "name" will now be "Indo-European"
Family:getCode
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getCode()
Return the family code of the family, e.g. "ine"
for the Indo-European languages.
Family:getCanonicalName
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getCanonicalName()
Return the canonical name of the family. This is the name used to represent that language family on Wiktionary,
and is guaranteed to be unique to that family alone. Example: "Indo-European"
for the Indo-European languages.
Family:getDisplayForm
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getDisplayForm()
Return the display form of the family. For families, this is the same as the value returned by
getCategoryName("nocap")
, i.e. it reads "name languages"
(e.g.
"Indo-Iranian languages"
). For full and etymology-only languages, this is the same as the canonical name, and
for scripts, it reads "name script"
(e.g. "Arabic script"
). The displayed text used in
makeCategoryLink()
is always the same as the display form.
Family:getAliases
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getAliases()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getVarieties
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getVarieties(flatten)
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getOtherNames
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getOtherNames()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getAllNames
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getAllNames()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getTypes
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getTypes()
Returns a table of types as a lookup table (with the types as keys).
The possible types are
family
: This object is a family.full
: This object is a "full" family. This includes all families but a couple of etymology-only
families for Old and Middle Iranian languages.
etymology-only
: This object is an etymology-only family, similar to etymology-only languages. There
are currently only two such families, for Old Iranian languages and Middle Iranian
languages (which do not represent proper clades and have no proto-languages, hence
cannot be full families).
Family:hasType
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:hasType(...)
Given a list of types as strings, returns true if the family has all of them.
Family:getFamily
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getFamily()
Returns a Family
object for the superfamily that the family belongs to.
Family:getFamilyCode
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getFamilyCode()
Returns the code of the family's superfamily.
Family:getFamilyName
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getFamilyName()
Returns the canonical name of the family's superfamily.
Family:inFamily
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:inFamily(...)
Check whether the family belongs to superfamily
(which can be a family code or object), and returns a boolean. If more than one is given, returns true
if the family belongs to any of them. A family is not considered to belong to itself.
Family:getParent
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getParent()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

Family:getParentChain
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getParentChain()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:hasParent
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:hasParent(...)
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getFull
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getFull()
If the family is etymology-only, this iterates through its parents until a full family is found, and the
corresponding object is returned. If the family is a full family, then it simply returns itself.
Family:getFullCode
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getFullCode()
If the family is etymology-only, this iterates through its parents until a full family is found, and the
corresponding code is returned. If the family is a full family, then it simply returns the family code.
Family:getFullName
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getFullName()
If the family is etymology-only, this iterates through its parents until a full family is found, and the
corresponding canonical name is returned. If the family is a full family, then it simply returns the canonical name
of the family.
Family:getProtoLanguage
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getProtoLanguage()
Return a Language
object (see Module:languages) for the proto-language of this family, if one exists.
Otherwise, return nil
.
Family:getProtoLanguageCode
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getProtoLanguageCode()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getProtoLanguageName

Family:getDescendantCodes
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getDescendantCodes()

Family:getDescendantNames
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getDescendantNames()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:hasDescendant
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:hasDescendant(...)
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getCategoryName
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getCategoryName(nocap)
Return the name of the main category of that family. Example: "Germanic languages"
for the Germanic languages,
whose category is at Category:Germanic languages.
Unless optional argument `nocap` is given, the family name at the beginning of the returned value will be
capitalized. This capitalization is correct for category names, but not if the family name is lowercase and
the returned value of this function is used in the middle of a sentence. (For example, the pseudo-family with
the code qfa-mix
has the name "mixed"
, which should remain lowercase when used as part of the category name
Category:Terms derived from mixed languages but should be capitalized in Category:Mixed languages.)
If you are considering using getCategoryName("nocap")
, use getDisplayForm()
instead.
Family:makeCategoryLink
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:makeCategoryLink()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.
Family:getWikidataItem
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getWikidataItem()
Returns the Wikidata item id for the family or nil
. This corresponds to the the second field in the data modules.
Family:getWikipediaArticle
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:getWikipediaArticle(noCategoryFallback, project)
Returns the name of the Wikipedia article for the family. `project` specifies the language and project to retrieve
the article from, defaulting to "enwiki"
for the English Wikipedia. Normally if specified it should be the project
code for a specific-language Wikipedia e.g. "zhwiki" for the Chinese Wikipedia, but it can be any project, including
non-Wikipedia ones. If the project is the English Wikipedia and the property wikipedia_article
is present in the data
module it will be used first. In all other cases, a sitelink will be generated from :getWikidataItem
(if set). The
resulting value (or lack of value) is cached so that subsequent calls are fast. If no value could be determined, and
`noCategoryFallback` is false
, :getCategoryName
is used as fallback; otherwise, nil
is returned. Note that if
`noCategoryFallback` is nil
or omitted, it defaults to false
if the project is the English Wikipedia, otherwise
to true
. In other words, under normal circumstances, if the English Wikipedia article couldn't be retrieved, the
return value will fall back to a link to the family's category, but this won't normally happen for any other project.
Family:makeWikipediaLink
[සංස්කරණය]function Family:makeWikipediaLink()
This function lacks a documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

return value will fall back to a link to the family's category, but this won't normally happen for any other project.
