Annex 2 - ISO 639 codes for the major languages of the world
Introduction
More details on the use of all these languages is available via the languages and countries #tag cloud.
Considering that many languages with fewer native speakers are spoken in countries where French or Spanish are official languages, there is an additional utility for #fr2wiki and #fr2wiki. These wikis can serve as the source for translation into the native languages of these countries.
For instance for French, this would mean Afar (#aa2wiki), Aja-gbe (#ajg2wiki), Arabe algérien (#arq2wiki), Arabe tchadien (#shu2wiki), Bambara (#bam2wiki),Baoulé (#bci2wiki), Bariba (#bba2wiki), Bichelamar (#bi2wiki), Créole haïtien (#ht2wiki), Créole seychellois (#crs2wiki), Dan (#dnj2wiki), Dazaga (#dzg2wiki), Dendi (#ddn2wiki), Dioula (#dyu2wiki), Douala (#dua2wiki), Éwé (#ee2wiki), Ewondo (#ewo2wiki), Fang (#fan2wiki), Fon (#fon2wiki), Gen (#gej2wiki), Gourmantché (#gux2wiki), Haoussa (#ha2wiki), Hassanya (#mey2wiki), Kabiyè (#kbp2wiki), Kanembou (#kbi2wiki), Kanouri (#kr2wiki), Khassonké (#kao2wiki), Kikongo (#kg2wiki), Kikongo ya leta (#ktu2wiki), Kinyarwanda (#rw2wiki), Kirundi (#rn2wiki), Kituba (#ktu2wiki), Koyraboro Senni (#ses2wiki), Lingala (#ln2wiki), Malgache (#mg2wiki), Malinké de l’Ouest (#mlq2wiki), Mamara (#myk2wiki), Mandinka (#mnk2wiki), Moba (#mfq2wiki), Moré (#mos2wiki), Peul (#ff2wiki), Pidgin camerounais (#wes2wiki), Sango (#sg2wiki), Somali (#so2wiki), Soninké (#snk2wiki), Soso (#sus2wiki), Tamasheq (#taq2wiki), Tawellemmet (#ttq2wiki), Tshiluba (#lua2wiki), Wolof (#wo2wiki), Yoruba (#yo2wiki), Zandé (#zne2wiki) and Zarma (#dje2wiki).
Use the hashtag #xy2wiki when sharing content is in a certain language for which little online content is available. For instance #ajg2wiki for content in Adja.
Which languages in which countries?
All language pages included in languages and countries #tag cloud list as tags the countries in which they are used.
As a result, by looking up a country in the languages and countries #tag cloud, one can see which languages are spoken in it. For instance for Congo, Democratic Republic, the cloud includes the languages in the screenshot below.
Fulah for instance, is used in the countries listed in a screenshot of the Fulah - #ff2wiki page:
