Lewis, M. Paul, ed. (2009). Ethnologue: Languages of the World (16th ed.). Dallas, Texas: SIL International.

This template is designed for use in the reference section of a language article. It links to the appropriate article at the 16th edition of Ethnologue.[The coding needs to be fixed; currently it links to the 17th edition]

{{Ethnologue16|xyz}} (or {{E16|xyz}})

Replace xyz with the ISO 639-3 code for the language. A second, optional parameter is accepted:

{{Ethnologue16|xyz|ABC}}

Replace ABC with wording for the template to display, thus:

ABC at Ethnologue (16th ed., 2009).

If this parameter is omitted, the page name will be used, thus:

Ethnologue16 at Ethnologue (16th ed., 2009).

Specifying the wording may be useful if the Ethnologue name differs from the page name of the Wikipedia article. If no parameter is supplied, the template will revert to a generic citation and link to Ethnologue, though a pipe is required, thus:

Lewis, M. Paul, ed. (2009). Ethnologue: Languages of the World (16th ed.). Dallas, Texas: SIL International..

Note संपादन करीं

For a reference to the Ethnologue population figures, enter "e16" in the ref parameter of the language infobox. This will autogenerate a reference based on this template, and is easier for other editors to update.

  • {{Ethnologue17}}, for references to the current edition.
  • {{Ethnolink}}, which is more convenient for inline identification when the data is not date-dependent.
  • {{Ethnologue15}}, for references to the previous edition.
