Add monolingual and lexeme language code ms-arab
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Please add "ms-arab" to the list of language codes supported for monolingual text values. This is for the Malay language written in Jawi (Arabic) script which is a co-official writing in Brunei and is used in Malaysia as well. I see other multiscript languages here also have different codes for different script like Tatar and Sindhi.

Language code: ms-Arab

Language name in ms-Arab: بهاس ملايو

Script used: Arab

Usage: Co-official writing in Brunei and is widely use in Malaysia

Wikidata ID: Q83942

Also I hope this code will be added in Wikidata Lexeme: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Q9237&namespace=146&limit=500

A bit of background: this comes after a discussion on Telegram, where I wondered by should ms-arab be used and not ms-x-Q83942, which already works. What convinced me that ms-arab is better is this response by @Mahir256:

As far as script codes for ms go, the use of the established "arab" subtag would be unambiguous in its reference to Jawi. If the official script code weren't distinguishing enough, then we would have reason to retain the private use code (and even then, BCP47 would allow us to tack on private use subtags to existing composed codes, so the use of arab would still not be entirely eliminated in that case)

@noarave There is also https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/663943 which gerritbot somehow doesn't want to link to this ticket.
