Are these the ULS languages? That page is generated from the `P424` statements that users have added to Wikidata items. It doesn't say where the codes are used, so I think it's more confusing than helpful here.

The languages available for labels are: - all the languages from Names.php <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/browse/master/languages/data/Names.php> - plus the languages in `wmgExtraLanguageNames` in InitialiseSettings.php <https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/master/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php#L19242> (warning: large page) The easiest way to check whether a language can be used for labels (in my opinion) is to look at the language field on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:NewItem The languages available for monolingual text are: - all the languages available for labels (see above) - plus all the extra languages from this section of WikibaseContentLanguages.php <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/blob/master/lib/includes/WikibaseContentLanguages.php#L69> - excluding the languages from the next section in that file (direct link <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/blob/master/lib/includes/WikibaseContentLanguages.php#L131>) Only the languages which are in Names.php show up in the suggestions for monolingual text. The ticket for fixing that is T124758 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124758>. @jhsoby-WMNO: Should there be another subtask asking for `smn` and `sms` to be made available for labels?
