You can record any language, dialect or language variety using Lingua Libre. Lingua Libre uses item to store information on language in a way equivalent to what Wikidata does. All existing languages are listed here.

If your language/dialect does not exist yet, you can create it by yourself. To do so, we have two options:

  • ask to an administrator (this is the recommended way). You can find a list of the administrators here.
  • create a new item by hand
