Ontology notes

Our ontology makes use of a best-effort pseudo-method that combines a variety of language knowledge online sources, LLM language suggestions, and manual curation. This list can be inspected by accessing Module:NormalizationLanguage. Each entry is constructed around three key attributes:

• canonical: the standard English or most widely recognized language name.
• synonyms: alternative identifiers including ISO codes, abbreviations, and common variations.
• native: the language's endonym: the representation of the language's name in its self-identified name and/or writing system.

Within the module, entries are grouped according to language families to loosely follow established linguistic taxonomies. While the approach does not adhere to a formal algorithmic process, it is a pragmatic implementation of language identification on ICANNWiki.

This process is iterative and subject to refinement over time.
