Module:Swadesh/documentation

This module is responsible for automating the display of Swadesh lists.

See {{Swadesh list auto}} for how to use this module on Swadesh list pages.

Data format

The data submodules should return a table of words indexed by their index on the 207-word Swadesh list. Indexes may be left out at will. The values should be a list of terms (explained below).

For example:

m[1] = {{term = "I"}}
m[2] = {{term = "you"}}

A term is a table with the following keys (all of which are technically optional, but at least either term or tr must be provided in practice:

term: The term in the specified language.
alt: The text to display, if not the same as the term to link to.
tr: The transliteration. If none is provided, one is automatically generated when appropriate.
ts: The transcription.
id: The sense ID (provided by {{senseid}} or {{etymid}}).
ipa: The IPA transcription of the word. Only displayed if the table contains only the specified language. Not displayed by default for reconstructed languages even if specified.
notes: A short note displayed after the entry (or as an asterisk with a tooltip on Swadesh list tables with multiple languages).
nolink: Pass true to disable the link to the term.

In addition, the returned table may also have a key nativename that contains the name of that language in that language.
