Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
An inline formatting template, based on {{lang}}, for indicating the language in which a native name has been given. By default, the native name is displayed in italics, followed by the language's name in a smaller-sized parenthesis. For example:
- Deutschland (German)
The template's defaults can be overridden and the parenthesis excluded, in which case there may be no visible changes to the text where it's used. An HTML span, however, still identifies the native name as a linguistic element, meaning that web browsers and screen readers can select a particular font, formatting, pronunciation, etc., for it.
Syntax
- Common
{{native name|<IETF language tag>|<the native name>}}
The code for the example at the start of this documentation would, therefore, be:
{{native name|de|Deutschland}}
Parameters
Required parameters shown in bold italics.
| Parameter name | Description and example/s |
|---|---|
| [first unnamed] | The IETF language tag code for the native language. French, for instance, is "fr"; Spanish is "es"; Arabic is "ar"; etc. |
| [second unnamed] | The native name, in the native language (with accents, etc.). |
| italics (or italic) |
Set to "off" or "no" to disable displaying the native name in italics.
|
| paren (or icon) |
Set to "omit", "off" or "no" to suppress the appearance of the native language's name in a parenthesis after the native name.
|
| nbsp | Set to "omit" or "no" to suppress the addition of a second space between the native name and the native language's name in brackets. Generally works in tandem with the italics or italic and/or paren or icon switches, as the automatic addition of the second space prevents the native name in italics from appearing to lean into the following bracket.
|
| parensize (previously fontsize) |
Use to specify a font-size for the parenthesis.
|
| nolink | Set to anything (e.g. "on") to suppress the appearance of the native language's name as a link. |
| script (deprecated) | when needed, include ISO 15924 in {{{1}}} IETF language tag; e.g. 'sr-Cyrl' |
- More complex examples
Code and result for the same name "Deutschland" above but with italics and nbsp switched off, nolink switched on and a parensize of 90%:
{{native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|nbsp=omit|nolink=on|parensize=90%}}- Deutschland (German)
Retaining no italics but suppressing the parenthesis:
{{native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|paren=omit}}- Deutschland
This result is the same as if the {{lang}} template had been used.
Other examples
| Code | Result | ||
|---|---|---|---|
{{Infobox settlement
| name = The Hague
| native_name = {{native name|nl|Den Haag}}
}}

{{Infobox country
