Locale::Codes::LangFam
NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
- use Locale::Codes::LangFam;
- $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
- $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa'
- @codes = all_langfam_codes();
- @names = all_langfam_names();
DESCRIPTION
The Locale::Codes::LangFam
module provides access to standard codes
used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
ISO 639-5.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
- $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
- $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
- alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.
This is the default code set.
