ଛାଞ୍ଚ:languagex

The following documentation is located at Template:languagex/doc. ^[edit]

This template is almost identical to including the language template directly, but it allows appendix-only language codes such as those used for proto-languages and conlangs to be used. Its use is preferred over raw transclusion if it is used in less resource-intensive situations (that is, isn't included many hundreds of times on one page).
