This module is used by {{tlx|Wikt-lang}}. It is inspired by the templates [[wikt:Template:m|{{((}}m{{))}}]] and [[wikt:Template:l|{{((}}l{{))}}]] and their associated modules on Wiktionary. It has a Wiktionary link function that links to the correct section of the Wiktionary entry, and applies correct language formatting and italics. The language-tagging function does most of what {{t|Lang}} does, except that italics can't be customized and categories aren't added.
This module is used by {{tlx|Wikt-lang}}. It is inspired by the templates [[wikt:Template:m|{{((}}m{{))}}]] and [[wikt:Template:l|{{((}}l{{))}}]] and their associated modules on Bharationary. It has a Bharationary link function that links to the correct section of the Bharationary entry, and applies correct language formatting and italics.

The module uses [[Module:Wikt-lang/data]] to retrieve the language name for a language code, and to perform the necessary entry-name replacements (for instance, removing macrons from Latin entry names). These are unfortunately not automatically retrieved from Wiktionary's [[wikt:Category:Language data modules|Wikt-lang data modules]]. For language codes that do not have a <code>name</code> value in this module, the language name is fetched with <code>mw.language.fetchLanguage</code>. When <code>mw.language.fetchLanguage</code> does not fetch the correct language name (or any language name at all), please add it to [[Module:Wikt-lang/data]], and similarly when the correct entry name is not generated, please add the entry name replacements to the module.
