Description

Issues relating to:

  • internationalization, localization, translation of MediaWiki (e.g. language fallback)
  • the MediaWiki namespace
  • page language system (including Special:MyLanguage)
  • autonym of language (but not name of languages in other languages such as English - see MediaWiki-extensions-CLDR for that)

These features are parts of MediaWiki core.

If you read that discussion, you'll see that they wanted Ńkàtá, but something went wrong in the copying process and what should have been N-acute (U+0143) got replaced with N-dot (U+1E44).

If you read that discussion further, an Igbo speaker writes "Ṅkàtá" with dot.

O_Breixo added a comment to T150540: Fallback gl to es.

As a Galician and a native speaker of Galician, I think it is common sense that it should be Portuguese. Not only is it the language most similar to Galician, with the root of both languages ​​in Galician-Portuguese, but there are also many cases in which the Portuguese version is identical to Galician.
