ފަންވަތް:Native name

Template:Native phrase redirects here.

ފަންވަތް ޑޮކިއުމަންޓޭޝަން[view] [edit] [history] [ޕާރޖް]

An inline formatting template, based on

{{lang}} and

{{ISO 639 name}}, for indicating the language in which a native name has been given. By default, the native name is displayed in italics, followed by the language's name in parentheses in a smaller font size. For example:

Deutschland  (language?)

The template's defaults can be overridden and the parentheses even excluded, in which case there may be no visible changes to the text where it's used. It still, however, identifies the native name as a linguistic element using the HTML span tag, which web browsers and screen readers can use to select an appropriate font, pronunciation, etc.

Usage

Syntax

Common

{{native name|ISO 639 language code|the native name}}

So, the code for the example at the start of this documentation would be:

{{native name|de|Deutschland}}

Parameters

Required parameters shown in bold italics.

Parameter name	Description and example/s
[first unnamed]	The ISO 639 code for the native language. French, for instance, is "fr"; Spanish is "es"; Arabic is "ar"; etc.
[second unnamed]	The native name, in the native language (with accents, etc).
italics (or italic)	Set to "off" (or "no") to disable displaying the native name in italics. |italics=off
paren (or icon)	Set to "off" (or "no") to suppress the appearance of the native language's name in brackets after the native name. |paren=off
nbsp	Set to "no" to suppress the addition of a second space between the native name and the native language's name in brackets. Generally works in tandem with the italics or italic and/or paren or icon switches, as the automatic addition of the second space prevents the native name in italics from appearing to lean into the following bracket. |nbsp=no
fontsize	Use to set a font-size for the language name in parentheses different from the default (85%). |fontsize=80%
nolink	Set to anything (usually "yes") to suppress the appearance of the native language's name as a link.

More complex examples

Code and result for the same name "Deutschland" above but with italics and nbsp switched off, nolink switched on and a fontsize of 80%:

{{native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|nbsp=off|nolink=yes|fontsize=80%}}

Deutschland (ފަންވަތް:ISO 639 name)

Retaining no italics but suppressing the parentheses:

{{native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|paren=off}}

Deutschland

This result is the same as if the

{{lang}} template had been used.

Other examples

Code	Result
{{Infobox settlement |name = The Hague |native_name = {{native name|nl|Den Haag}} }}	The Hague Den Haag  (language?)
{{Infobox country |conventional_long_name = French Republic |native_name = {{native name|fr|République française|paren=off}} }}	French Republic République française

Legend
[a] {{{1}}} = ISO 639 language code.
[b] {{{2}}} = the foreign-language placename. Displayed in italics unless
                                              italics (or italic) = off (or no).
[c] If paren (or icon) = off (or no), omit linked language name (in brackets).
[d] If placename in italics,
[e] then, unless nbsp=no, add an extra space after it (to stop italics leaning
                                             into the parenthesis that follows).
[f] If nolink set, display unlinked language name,
[g] else if a link for this language name exists, display it as
             "[[(name) language|(name)]]" (e.g. "([[French language|French]])"),
[h] else return the error query "(language?)".
