to change it to "Speakers".You can use the language template to show the genetic classification of a language as a descending staircase of language families, from the broadest to the most specific.
If you would prefer to enter some other information in this box (for example, disputed), use this parameter instead:
The template can also display a staircase of ancestral forms:
|iso3=none
to return the text none and add the article to Category:Languages without iso3 codes (if iso3comment is also used, that will display in place of none)|isoexception=dialect
.|isoexception=historical
.|isoexception=protolanguage
.Some languages have a number of ISO 639-3 codes, one for each dialect of that language. If you try putting all of these codes in the usual iso3 = parameter, it will get quite messy. Instead, use the following parameters:
Lc entries will be automatically linked to the Ethnologue site. Wikipedia articles on the dialects may be linked from the ld entries.
For languages with an ISO 639-3 macrolanguage code and several individual codes, use iso3 for the macrolanguage and lcn, ldn for the individual codes.
This template is appropriate to use for constructed languages. The following parameters can be used:
Using these parameters, or setting familycolor=Conlang, automatically sets the coloured bars of the infobox to black
background with white fonts, and removes the states and region parameters from use (nation is also disabled). If the iso2 parameter is left undefined, it is treated as being iso2=art. For conlangs, the family or famn parameters are used to describe the hierarchy of purpose of the language, whereas posteriori is used to describe the a posteriori sources on which the conlang draws.
You should not put large images at the top of the language template: they just make it very messy. You can place a small image at the top of the template using the following parameters:
If you have a larger image or two, such as a map, you can place them at the bottom of the template, spanning both columns, with the following parameter:
The usual image markup applies for both images. Alt text is for visually impaired readers, and the caption is for all readers; typically they should have little in common (see WP:ALT).
For languages spoken in smaller areas, where the location of the language can be reasonably approximated by a point on the map, then a pushpin map can be added:
|coordinates=
) position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the map automatically. To show multiple pushpin maps, provide a list of maps separated by #, e.g., California#USAAlternativeMap

With 8,000 articles, manual review is insufficient. The following automating tracking categories should catch some of the more common errors. They also produce lists of articles that should be reviewed occasionally, because they lack population data or the data is dated.
