Add lexeme language code "pks" for Pakistan Sign Language
Closed, ResolvedPublic0 Estimated Story Points

Description

This is a sign language that can be written with Sign Writing; this could be implemented the same way as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286213 "bzs" for Brazilian Sign Language for lexemes. There are a number of good resources online for it to add lexeme content.

Language code: pks
Autonym: اشارہ
Item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22964057
Example lexeme: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L1037110
Example item requiring monolingual text (for native label of city): https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q173985

The written autonym provided is one given in Zeshan (2000) Sign Language in Indo-Pakistan. It is a word shared among most languages of Pakistan and used a stand in for the signed autonym in writing.

Event Timeline

Just adding a note here that we now have a property for Pakistan Sign Language lexemea on Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P11652

At the moment it is not possible to add statements containing text in this language or glosses on senses with the specific language code.

Can you please add the other information required as lined out on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/4981/ ? Thank you!

I have also updated the autonym since finding some additional information for this.

@jhsoby @Amire80 this looks good to me. What are your thoughts?

I might be too early for this one, but it isn't showing up for me

It's available in the Special:NewLexeme dropdown

It works for lexemes but hasn't been added for monolingual text yet.

Sorry, this was just for lexemes, so all good from me :)

@Arian_Bozorg I could have made it more clear but this was not just for lexemes. I gave a specific example where it would be used for monolingual text.

I was also under the impression that all lexeme languages are supposed to be available in monolingual text.

As far as I can tell this is still not resolved—the language code was not available for monolingual text when I tried.
