TASK DESCRIPTION This is a spin-off ticket from T289776 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289776>, requesting proper language support in Wikidata for two languages specifically: 1. nso - Sepedi / Sesotho sa Leboa / Pedi / Northern Sotho 2. nr / nbl - isiNdebele / Southern Ndebele / Ndebele of South Africa (there’s also 'Northern Ndebele' [nd / nde], also called isiNdebele / Ndebele, spoken in Zimbabwe — adding both would be good as well) They are both among the 11 official languages of South Africa. Sepedi also has its own Wikipedia. They both already have Qitems: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33890 for Sepedi https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13155057 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q36785 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q35613 for isiNdebele (and northern and southern) Note that they currently have different levels of support in Wikidata, so a patch likely will be more than adding the ISO codes at one place only. Specifically: - Sepedi (nso) lexemes can be added through a counterintuitive workaround by abusing the ’spelling variant of the Lemma’ box and typing nso. - There’s no such option for any of the four possible isiNdebele ISO codes. Note also that they show up in the “Lexeme’s language” dropdown list by various names, which I all tried just in case it might influence the system’s behaviour. I made two screencasts that show one instance of these attempts each: Sepedi, trying to add ‘website’: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VYofNFXzFW-E1wS-1bZh-72EFrgX2z65/view?usp=sharing isiNdebele, trying to add ‘computer’: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1klWgYNDMR_ZMZLUXAPQo5ACdUPfWFNdT/view?usp=sharing TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T317193 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Keet10 Cc: Keet10, mrephabricator, Astuthiodit_1, JKieserman, DMartin-WMF, karapayneWMDE, Invadibot, Aseleste, gengh, Nikolay_Komarov, GrounderUK, maantietaja, AndrewEells, ItamarWMDE, Nintendofan885, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Mahir256, QZanden, YULdigitalpreservation, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Nikki, Verdy_p, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331, ori
