View Source

Struct describing a single language.

Fields

  • code - ISO 639-1 two-letter base code (e.g. "en", "fr")
  • name - canonical English name (e.g. "French")
  • native_name - endonym / what speakers call it themselves (e.g. "Français")
  • direction - writing direction, :ltr or :rtl
  • has_gender - whether the language uses grammatical gender
  • genders - list of gender codes the language uses; [] when has_gender is false. Common values are "m" (masculine), "f" (feminine), "n" (neuter), and "c" (common) — used by Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, and Swedish, where masculine and feminine have merged into a single common gender. Pattern-match all four.

%BeamlabLanguages.Language{
  code: "fr",
  name: "French",
  native_name: "Français",
  direction: :ltr,
  has_gender: true,
