Template:User iso15924

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{User iso15924|Arab|2}} →

Arab-2 ع‎This user has an intermediate understanding of the Arabic script.

Usage

{{User iso15924|<code>|<level>}}

Replace <code> with the four-letter ISO 15924 code and <level> with the corresponding knowledge level.

Note that this template is for demonstrating your knowledge of a script and not languages written in that script. For instance {{User iso15924|Spanish}} or {{User iso15924|de}} are both incorrect, and not just because a four-letter code has not been used. Spanish and German are both written in Latin script, so the ability to read both languages would be covered by a single template of {{User iso15924|Latn}}. Conversely a Serbian speaker might have both {{User iso15924|Cyrl}} and {{User iso15924|Latn}} to show that they can read the one language written in both Cyrillic and Latin script.
