Description

There are 3 sources:

core, a public method in a languages/ class
config, not exposed through a public method, but in IS
Wikibase extension, not exposed through a public method, but in WikibaseRepo class

We should provide an API method to get these languages as a languace code / autonym JSON array.

@Harmonia_Amanda wanted to get such the list and the three sources to mix is a little confusing.

matej_suchanek closed this task as a duplicate of T198202: Add API to check language code validity / get all valid language codes.Aug 24 2018, 2:51 PM

TL;DR of the linked task (thanks @matej_suchanek!): this will be available as api.php?action=query&meta=wbcontentlanguages. You can optionally specify the context (term, monolingualtext, term-lexicographical; default: term) and which properties to return for each language (language code, autonym, and/or name in user language; default: language code). Currently live on Beta Wikidata (API sandbox), should be deployed to Wikidata next Wednesday evening.
