Add Láadan language (ldn) to monolingual codes and lexeme language codes
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Add Láadan language (ldn) to monolingual codes and to the list of language codes supported for lexeme values.

There is a Wikipedia Incubator in it: Wp/ldn/Main Page

It is needed for lexemes and for toponyms from the language in mainspace -- for instance, name (P2561) of Arkansans (Q100699808)

The alphabet is a variant of Latin, with native label "Láadan".

If it’s needed for lexemes, then it doesn’t sound like we only want to add it to the monolingual language codes…

Yeah, this is fine – sorry about the delay!

Sorry, I spoke too quickly (I mixed it with another language). According to the enwiki article on the language, it is a constructed language that is an "experiment in feminist linguistics" – i.e. it doesn't seem to be a general-purpose language with general use outside of hobbyist communities. I would therefore like to know more about what the intended use of the language on Wikidata is. That being said, it should still be fine at least for lexemes, and probably also for monolingual text.

(Removing Patch-For-Review because the previously attached patch was edited to exclude Láadan before being merged. If LangCom approves, this will need a new patch.)
