This module implements fetching of language-specific information and processing text in a given language.

There are two types of languages: full languages and etymology-only languages. The essential difference is that only
full languages appear in L2 headings in vocabulary entries, and hence categories like [[:Category:French nouns]] exist
only for full languages. Etymology-only languages have either a full language or another etymology-only language as
their parent (in the parent-child inheritance sense), and for etymology-only languages with another etymology-only
language as their parent, a full language can always be derived by following the parent links upwards. For example,
"Canadian French", code 'fr-CA', is an etymology-only language whose parent is the full language "French", code 'fr'.
An example of an etymology-only language with another etymology-only parent is "Northumbrian Old English", code
'ang-nor', which has "Anglian Old English", code 'ang-ang' as its parent; this is an etymology-only language whose
parent is "Old English", code "ang", which is a full language. (This is because Northumbrian Old English is considered
a variety of Anglian Old English.) Sometimes the parent is the "Undetermined" language, code 'und'; this is the case,
for example, for "substrate" languages such as "Pre-Greek", code 'qsb-grc', and "the BMAC substrate", code 'qsb-bma'.

It is important to distinguish language ''parents'' from language ''ancestors''. The parent-child relationship is one
of containment, i.e. if X is a child of Y, X is considered a variety of Y. On the other hand, the ancestor-descendant
relationship is one of descent in time. For example, "Classical Latin", code 'la-cla', and "Late Latin", code 'la-lat',
are both etymology-only languages with "Latin", code 'la', as their parents, because both of the former are varieties
of Latin. However, Late Latin does *NOT* have Classical Latin as its parent because Late Latin is *not* a variety of
Classical Latin; rather, it is a descendant. There is in fact a separate 'ancestors' field that is used to express the
ancestor-descendant relationship, and Late Latin's ancestor is given as Classical Latin. It is also important to note
that sometimes an etymology-only language is actually the conceptual ancestor of its parent language. This happens,
for example, with "Old Italian" (code 'roa-oit'), which is an etymology-only variant of full language "Italian" (code
'it'), and with "Old Latin" (code 'itc-ola'), which is an etymology-only variant of Latin. In both cases, the full
language has the etymology-only variant listed as an ancestor. This allows a Latin term to inherit from Old Latin
using the {{tl|inh}} template (where in this template, "inheritance" refers to ancestral inheritance, i.e. inheritance
in time, rather than in the parent-child sense); likewise for Italian and Old Italian.

Full languages come in three subtypes:
* {regular}: This indicates a full language that is attested according to [[WT:CFI]] and therefore permitted in the
			 main namespace. There may also be reconstructed terms for the language, which are placed in the
			 {Reconstruction} namespace and must be prefixed with * to indicate a reconstruction. Most full languages
			 are natural (not constructed) languages, but a few constructed languages (e.g. Esperanto and Volapük,
			 among others) are also allowed in the mainspace and considered regular languages.
* {reconstructed}: This language is not attested according to [[WT:CFI]], and therefore is allowed only in the
				   {Reconstruction} namespace. All terms in this language are reconstructed, and must be prefixed with
				   *. Languages such as Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Germanic are in this category.
* {appendix-constructed}: This language is attested but does not meet the additional requirements set out for
						  constructed languages ([[WT:CFI#Constructed languages]]). Its entries must therefore be in
						  the Appendix namespace, but they are not reconstructed and therefore should not have *
						  prefixed in links. Most constructed languages are of this subtype.

Both full languages and etymology-only languages have a {Language} object associated with them, which is fetched using
the {getByCode} function in [[Module:languages]] to convert a language code to a {Language} object. Depending on the
options supplied to this function, etymology-only languages may or may not be accepted, and family codes may be
accepted (returning a {Family} object as described in [[Module:families]]). There are also separate {getByCanonicalName}
functions in [[Module:languages]] and [[Module:etymology languages]] to convert a language's canonical name to a
{Language} object (depending on whether the canonical name refers to a full or etymology-only language).

Textual strings belonging to a given language come in several different ''text variants'':
# The ''input text'' is what the user supplies in wikitext, in the parameters to {{tl|m}}, {{tl|l}}, {{tl|ux}},
  {{tl|t}}, {{tl|lang}} and the like.
# The ''display text'' is the text in the form as it will be displayed to the user. This can include accent marks that
  are stripped to form the entry text (see below), as well as embedded bracketed links that are variously processed
  further. The display text is generated from the input text by applying language-specific transformations; for most
  languages, there will be no such transformations. Examples of transformations are bad-character replacements for
  certain languages (e.g. replacing 'l' or '1' to [[palochka]] in certain languages in Cyrillic); and for Thai and
  Khmer, converting space-separated words to bracketed words and resolving respelling substitutions such as [กรีน/กฺรีน],
  which indicate how to transliterate given words.
# The ''entry text'' is the text in the form used to generate a link to a Wiktionary entry. This is usually generated
  from the display text by stripping certain sorts of diacritics on a per-language basis, and sometimes doing other
  transformations. The concept of ''entry text'' only really makes sense for text that does not contain embedded links,
  meaning that display text containing embedded links will need to have the links individually processed to get
  per-link entry text in order to generate the resolved display text (see below).
# The ''resolved display text'' is the result of resolving embedded links in the display text (e.g. converting them to
  two-part links where the first part has entry-text transformations applied, and adding appropriate language-specific
  fragments) and adding appropriate language and script tagging. This text can be passed directly to MediaWiki for
  display.
# The ''source translit text'' is the text as supplied to the language-specific {transliterate()} method. The form of
  the source translit text may need to be language-specific, e.g Thai and Khmer will need the full unprocessed input
  text, whereas other languages may need to work off the display text. [FIXME: It's still unclear to me how embedded
  bracketed links are handled in the existing code.] In general, embedded links need to be removed (i.e. converted to
  their "bare display" form by taking the right part of two-part links and removing double brackets), but when this
  happens is unclear to me [FIXME]. Some languages have a chop-up-and-paste-together scheme that sends parts of the
  text through the transliterate mechanism, and for others (those listed in {contiguous_substition} in
  [[Module:languages/data]]) they receive the full input text, but preprocessed in certain ways. (The wisdom of this is
  still unclear to me.)
# The ''transliterated text'' (or ''transliteration'') is the result of transliterating the source translit text.
  Unlike for all the other text variants except the transcribed text, it is always in the Latin script.
# The ''transcribed text'' (or ''transcription'') is the result of transcribing the source translit text, where
  "transcription" here means a close approximation to the phonetic form of the language in languages (e.g. Akkadian,
  Sumerian, Ancient Egyptian, maybe Tibetan) that have a wide difference between the written letters and spoken form.
  Unlike for all the other text variants other than the transliterated text, it is always in the Latin script.
  Currently, the transcribed text is always supplied manually be the user; there is no such thing as a
  {lua|transcribe()} method on language objects.
# The ''sort key'' is the text used in sort keys for determining the placing of pages in categories they belong to. The
  sort key is generated from the pagename or a specified ''sort base'' by lowercasing, doing language-specific
  transformations and then uppercasing the result. If the sort base is supplied and is generated from input text, it
  needs to be converted to display text, have embedded links removed (i.e. resolving them to their right side if they
  are two-part links) and have entry text transformations applied.
# There are other text variants that occur in usexes (specifically, there are normalized variants of several of the
  above text variants), but we can skip them for now.

The following methods exist on {Language} objects to convert between different text variants:
# {makeDisplayText}: This converts input text to display text.
# {lua|makeEntryName}: This converts input or display text to entry text. [FIXME: This needs some rethinking. In
  particular, {lua|makeEntryName} is sometimes called on display text (in some paths inside of [[Module:links]]) and
  sometimes called on input text (in other paths inside of [[Module:links]], and usually from other modules). We need
  to make sure we don't try to convert input text to display text twice, but at the same time we need to support
  calling it directly on input text since so many modules do this. This means we need to add a parameter indicating
  whether the passed-in text is input or display text; if that former, we call {lua|makeDisplayText} ourselves.]
# {lua|transliterate}: This appears to convert input text with embedded brackets removed into a transliteration.
  [FIXME: This needs some rethinking. In particular, it calls {lua|processDisplayText} on its input, which won't work
  for Thai and Khmer, so we may need language-specific flags indicating whether to pass the input text directly to the
  language transliterate method. In addition, I'm not sure how embedded links are handled in the existing translit code;
  a lot of callers remove the links themselves before calling {lua|transliterate()}, which I assume is wrong.]
# {lua|makeSortKey}: This converts entry text (?) to a sort key. [FIXME: Clarify this.]

--[==[
Returns the name of the Wikipedia article for the language. `project` specifies the language and project to retrieve
the article from, defaulting to {"zhwiki"} for the English Wikipedia. Normally if specified it should be the project
code for a specific-language Wikipedia e.g. "zhwiki" for the Chinese Wikipedia, but it can be any project, including
non-Wikipedia ones. If the project is the English Wikipedia and the property {wikipedia_article} is present in the data
module it will be used first. In all other cases, a sitelink will be generated from {:getWikidataItem} (if set). The
resulting value (or lack of value) is cached so that subsequent calls are fast. If no value could be determined, and
`noCategoryFallback` is {false}, {:getCategoryName} is used as fallback; otherwise, {nil} is returned. Note that if
`noCategoryFallback` is {nil} or omitted, it defaults to {false} if the project is the English Wikipedia, otherwise
to {true}. In other words, under normal circumstances, if the English Wikipedia article couldn't be retrieved, the
return value will fall back to a link to the language's category, but this won't normally happen for any other project.

Returns three values:
# The transliteration.
# A boolean which indicates whether the transliteration failed for an unexpected reason. If {{code|lua|false}}, then the transliteration either succeeded, or the module is returning nothing in a controlled way (e.g. the input was {{code|lua|"-"}}). Generally, this means that no maintenance action is required. If {{code|lua|true}}, then the transliteration is {{code|lua|nil}} because either the input or output was defective in some way (e.g. [[Module:ar-translit]] will not transliterate non-vocalised inputs, and this module will fail partially-completed transliterations in all languages). Note that this value can be manually set by the transliteration module, so make sure to cross-check to ensure it is accurate.
# A table of categories selected by the transliteration module, which should be in the format expected by {{code|lua|format_categories}} in [[Module:utilities]].
The <code>sc</code> parameter is handled by the transliteration module, and how it is handled is specific to that module. Some transliteration modules may tolerate {{code|lua|nil}} as the script, others require it to be one of the possible scripts that the module can transliterate, and will show an error if it's not one of them. For this reason, the <code>sc</code> parameter should always be provided when writing non-language-specific code.
The <code>module_override</code> parameter is used to override the default module that is used to provide the transliteration. This is useful in cases where you need to demonstrate a particular module in use, but there is no default module yet, or you want to demonstrate an alternative version of a transliteration module before making it official. It should not be used in real modules or templates, only for testing. All uses of this parameter are tracked by [[Wiktionary:Tracking/module_override]].
'''Known bugs''':
* This function assumes {tr(s1) .. tr(s2) == tr(s1 .. s2)}. When this assertion fails, wikitext markups like <nowiki>'''</nowiki> can cause wrong transliterations.
* HTML entities like <code>&amp;apos;</code>, often used to escape wikitext markups, do not work.]==]
