Hi @Bertiebotts, thanks for taking the time to report this!

So your request is to make Spanish available under the Oceania region?

Hi @Aklapper, you understood correctly: please make Spanish available under the Oceania region. Maybe it will be bold to ask to include it under the Asia region, too... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language_in_the_Philippines)

Sorry for the delay, I was having problems with authentication on MediaWiki.

Relevant also for Philippines.

@Amire80 Sir, What is the code of Oceania region like Worldwide have WW?

PA, from "Pacific".

@Amire80 If I am not wrong. First, we need to change the region in langdb.yaml?

Yes, and then run ulsdata2json.php.

If so, then it should be included under the Asian region, too.

Well, wanting to be a guinea pig I added the region to langdb.yaml in https://github.com/wikimedia/language-data/pull/4 .
But did not manage to run ulsdata2json.php because Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() in /home/acko/coding/wikimedia/language-data/data/ulsdata2json.php:47. Seems to not check for dependencies to gracefully bail?

Probably not good first task.

http://php.net/manual/en/simplexml.installation.php that code is available by default in PHP.

Spanish should also be shown under the Asian region. Justification: the Philippines is an Asian country that still has a sizable Spanish-speaking population, an academy that regulates the use of the language, and cultural heritage stemming from three centuries of Spanish colonial rule. Despite losing its official status not so long ago, Spanish is enjoying a small revival that is also supported by the government.
Could you make the necessary addition, please?
