Missing languages: bjs, jam
[edit]missing are bjs and jam, see eg Melicoccus bijugatus--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- I've added Jamaican Creole (language code "jam") as it's a language spoken by several millions of people, and now has a fairly well standardized writing system and orthography. However, I didn't add Bajan Creole ("bjs") since it's primarily a spoken language with no standardised written form (i.e. in general still uses standard English for print). Due to the lack of standardisation, Bajan spelling may vary widely from person to person, and there is much dialectal variation throughout the island. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 09:58, 2 May 2025 (UTC).
- @Tommy Kronkvist: Just a heads up, "Patois: {{{jam}}}" is now popping up everywhere where Japanese vernacular names are used. It looks like you accidentally wrote {{{ja|}}} instead of {{{jam|}}} on the "jam" line? Monster Iestyn (talk) 10:57, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Monster Iestyn: Indeed I did. It's now corrected – thanks for notifying me!
- As a side note, "Jamaican Creole" would be a better name for the language. "Patois" or sometimes "Patwah" is often used by the native speakers, but "Jamaican Creole" is used by linguists. From a linguistic viewpoint, "patois" is mainly used as general term for a whole bunch of different (Creole) languages and dialects. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk)‚ 11:11, 2 May 2025 (UTC).

Kotava language
[edit]Can you add Kotava language? Its ISO code is "avk". Kotavusik (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Kotava is an international constructed language and have a Wikipedia ( avk.wikipedia.org ). The denomination of plants and animals is well developed in Kotava. Please add Kotava language to Wikispecies. Kotavusik (talk) 08:53, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
The Saami languages with actual orthographies
[edit]| Not done, as discussed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:17, 2 May 2025 (UTC) |

The names for these languages in their own language are listed in the Phabricator task WMHack19: Add Saami + Romani languages to Wikidata. Northern and Inari Saami have their own wikipedias, the rest are in the incubator. Northern Saami also has country-specific codes in some wikimedia projects: se-fi, se-no, and se-se. It would be useful if these are also added, if possible. The rest of the Saami languages not listed above do not have official orthographies and should not be added imo to prevent people from adding non-existing spellings to Wikispecies. Thank you for adding the 8 listed above! Yupik (talk) 20:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I can provide sources of vernacular names in these languages if needed. --Eryk Kij (talk) 00:27, 11 June 2024 (UTC) [items added: Eryk Kij (talk) 08:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 11:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 04:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 10:47, 15 June 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 12:48, 16 June 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 12:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 09:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 04:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 04:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 10:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 16:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 15:03, 9 August 2024 (UTC); Eryk Kij (talk) 10:02, 10 April 2025 (UTC)]
On Phabricator, I also created a task requesting display of several glossonyms/endonyms of the above-mentioned languages. --Eryk Kij (talk) 14:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- @エリック・キィ: Do you intend to use all 380 of these languages? It seems unlikely. I'm minded to refuse this, on the basis that there is no evidence of there being any volunteers willing or wanting to use them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:33, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: I admit that the above-mentioned list includes some languages yet to be used for my future activity. However, I would like to use them indeed and I have already done in some entries. Source examples are as follows:
- Adema (1991) [Cupaniopsis spp. (Sapindaceae); Papuasia & Pacific]; e.g. Cupaniopsis kajewskii
- Beentje (1994) [woody plants and liana; Kenya]; e.g. Chassalia discolor, Pavetta sphaerobotrys subsp. tanaica
- Hauman (1958) [Sapindaceae; DRC]; e.g. Deinbollia cauliflora, Placodiscus paniculatus
- Hou (1978) [Anacardiaceae spp.; Malesia and Papuasia]; e.g. Campnosperma brevipetiolatum
- Kostermans & Bompard (1993) [Mangifera spp. (Anacardiaceae); Malesia and Papuasia]; e.g. Mangifera minor
- Molino et al. (2022) [tree species; Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana]; e.g. Talisia hemidasya
- Petit (1955) [Mussaenda sp. (Rubiaceae); DRC]; e.g. Mussaenda leucophylla
- Record (1945) [woody plants; Papuasia]; e.g. Mangifera minor
- van Welzen (1989) [Guioa spp. (Sapindaceae); mainly Malesia & Papuasia]; e.g. Guioa acuminata, G. comesperma
- So, I request anew addition of languages at least used in the above-mentioned entries. For someone interested, I also give incomplete information of additional name sources of useful plants I have not yet employed effectively; Bouquet (1969) [Congo Republic]; Kerharo & Bouquet (1950) [Côte d'Ivoire & Burkina Faso]; Raponda-Walker & Sillans (1961) [Gabon]; RELMA-ICRAF series [Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda]; Staner (1941) [DRC]. --Eryk Kij (talk) 10:02, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Request to enable Sambalpuri [spv] on species translation
[edit]I would really appreciate it if Sambalpuri will be added to the list of supported languages.
Thanks Rocky 734 (talk) 15:40, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Done —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:43, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, Thanks @Koavf for adding Sambalpuri. I have added a local name of mango in Sambalpuri, but the language name is displayed as "spv", instead of "ସମ୍ବଲପୁରୀ". Rocky 734 (talk) 03:09, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- I believe this cannot be resolved locally. I created phab:T392971 and took the liberty of adding you as a subscriber. Please let me know what else I can do for you. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:56, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
