=head1 NAME

I18N::LangTags::List -- tags and names for human languages

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use I18N::LangTags::List;
  print "Parlez-vous... ", join(', ',
      I18N::LangTags::List::name('elx') || 'unknown_language',
      I18N::LangTags::List::name('ar-Kw') || 'unknown_language',
      I18N::LangTags::List::name('en') || 'unknown_language',
      I18N::LangTags::List::name('en-CA') || 'unknown_language',
    ), "?\n";

prints:

Parlez-vous... Elamite, Kuwait Arabic, English, Canadian English?

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a function 
C<I18N::LangTags::List::name( I<langtag> ) > that takes
a language tag (see L<I18N::LangTags|I18N::LangTags>)
and returns the best attempt at an English name for it, or
undef if it can't make sense of the tag.

The function I18N::LangTags::List::name(...) is not exported.

This module also provides a function
C<I18N::LangTags::List::is_decent( I<langtag> )> that returns true iff
the language tag is syntactically valid and is for general use (like
"fr" or "fr-ca", below).  That is, it returns false for tags that are
syntactically invalid and for tags, like "aus", that are listed in
brackets below.  This function is not exported.

The map of tags-to-names that it uses is accessible as
%I18N::LangTags::List::Name, and it's the same as the list
that follows in this documentation, which should be useful
to you even if you don't use this module.

=head1 ABOUT LANGUAGE TAGS

Internet language tags, as defined in RFC 3066, are a formalism
for denoting human languages.  The two-letter ISO 639-1 language
codes are well known (as "en" for English), as are their forms
when qualified by a country code ("en-US").  Less well-known are the
arbitrary-length non-ISO codes (like "i-mingo"), and the 
recently (in 2001) introduced three-letter ISO-639-2 codes.

Remember these important facts:

=over

=item *

Language tags are not locale IDs.  A locale ID is written with a "_"
instead of a "-", (almost?) always matches C<m/^\w\w_\w\w\b/>, and
I<means> something different than a language tag.  A language tag
denotes a language.  A locale ID denotes a language I<as used in>
a particular place, in combination with non-linguistic
location-specific information such as what currency is used
there.  Locales I<also> often denote character set information,
as in "en_US.ISO8859-1".

=item *

Language tags are not for computer languages.

=item *

"Dialect" is not a useful term, since there is no objective
criterion for establishing when two language-forms are
dialects of eachother, or are separate languages.

=item *

Language tags are not case-sensitive.  en-US, en-us, En-Us, etc.,
are all the same tag, and denote the same language.

=item *

Not every language tag really refers to a single language.  Some
language tags refer to conditions: i-default (system-message text
in English plus maybe other languages), und (undetermined
language).  Others (notably lots of the three-letter codes) are
bibliographic tags that classify whole groups of languages, as
with cus "Cushitic (Other)" (i.e., a
language that has been classed as Cushtic, but which has no more
specific code) or the even less linguistically coherent
sai for "South American Indian (Other)".  Though useful in
bibliography, B<SUCH TAGS ARE NOT
FOR GENERAL USE>.  For further guidance, email me.

=item *

Language tags are not country codes.  In fact, they are often
distinct codes, as with language tag ja for Japanese, and
ISO 3166 country code C<.jp> for Japan.

=head1 LIST OF LANGUAGES

The first part of each item is the language tag, between
{...}.  It
is followed by an English name for the language or language-group.
Language tags that I judge to be not for general use, are bracketed.

This list is in alphabetical order by English name of the language.

=for reminder
 The name in the =item line MUST NOT have E<...>'s in it!!
