ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Ethnologue17/doc ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆଧାର ଦେଖିବେ

This template is designed for use in the reference section of a language article. It links to the appropriate article at ''[[Ethnologue]]''.

<pre>
{{Ethnologue17|xyz}} (or {{E17|xyz}})
</pre>

Replace <code>xyz</code> with the [[ISO 639-3]] code for the language. A second, optional parameter is accepted:

<pre>
{{Ethnologue17|xyz|ABC}}</pre>

Replace <code>ABC</code> with wording for the template to display, thus: 
:{{Ethnologue17|xyz|ABC}}. 
If this parameter is omitted, the page name will be used, thus: 
:{{Ethnologue17|xyz}}. 
Specifying the wording may be useful if the ''Ethnologue'' name differs from the page name of the Wikipedia article. If no parameter is supplied, the template will revert to a generic citation and link to ''Ethnologue'', though a pipe is still required, thus: 
:{{Ethnologue17|}}.

==Note==
For a reference to the ''Ethnologue'' population figures, enter "e17" in the <code>ref</code> parameter of the language infobox. This will autogenerate a reference based on this template, and is easier for other editors to update.

==See also==
*{{tl|Ethnolink}}, which is more convenient for inline identification when the data is not date-dependent.
*{{tl|Ethnologue16}}, for references to the previous edition.
*{{tl|Ethnologue15}}, for references to the edition before that.

The link format <code><nowiki>[[Ethnologue:xxx]]</nowiki></code> can also be used.
