+For internationalization; not used at en.wiki
+The language names taken from the IANA language-subtag-registry file are given in English. That may not be ideal.
+Translating ~8,000 language names is also not ideal.  MediaWiki maintains (much) shorter lists of language names
+in most languages for which there is a Wikipedia edition.  When desired, Module:Lang can use the MediaWiki
+language list for the local language.
+Caveat lector: the list of MediaWiki language names for your language may not be complete or may not exist at all.
+When incomplete, MediaWiki's list will 'fall back' to another language (typically English).  When that happens
+add an appropriate entry to the override table below.
+Caveat lector: the list of MediaWiki language names for your language may not be correct.  At en.wiki, the
+MediaWiki language names do not agree with the IANA language names for these ISO 639-1 tags.  Often it is simply
+spelling differences:
+	bh: IANA: Bihari languages MW: Bhojpuri – the ISO 639-3 tag for Bhojpuri is bho
+	bn: IANA: Bengali MW: Bangla – Bengali is the exonym, Bangla is the endonym
+	dv: IANA: Dhivehi MW: Divehi
+	el: IANA: Modern Greek MW: Greek
+	ht: IANA: Haitian MW: Haitian Creole
+	ky: IANA: Kirghiz MW: Kyrgyz
+	li: IANA: Limburgan MW: Limburgish
+	or: IANA: Oriya MW: Odia
+	os: IANA: Ossetian MW: Ossetic
+	"pa: IANA: Panjabi MW: Punjabi
+	"ps: IANA: Pushto MW: Pashto
+	"to: IANA: Tonga MW: Tongan
+	"ug: IANA: Uighur MW: Uyghur
+use the override table to override language names that are incorrect for your project
+To see the list of names that MediaWiki has for your language, enter this in the Debug colsole:
+	=mw.dumpObject (mw.language.fetchLanguageNames ('<tag>', 'all'))
+(replacing <tag> with the language tag for your language)
+Use of the MediaWiki language names lists is enabled when media_wiki_override_enable is set to boolean true.
