Returns a date string reflecting the date the subtag was added to the registry.

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("ja") |> LangTags.SubTag.added()
"2005-10-16"

Indicates if the given string is a subtag that represents a collection of languages

A collection is typically related by some type of historical, geographical, or linguistic association.

Unlike a macrolanguage, a collection can contain languages that are only loosely related and a collection cannot be used interchangeably with languages that belong to it.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.collection?("cdd")
true

Returns an list of comments, if any, otherwise returns an empty list.

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("nmf") |> LangTags.SubTag.comments()
["see ntx"]

Returns a date string reflecting the deprecation date if the subtag is deprecated, otherwise returns nil.

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("in") |> LangTags.SubTag.deprecated()
"1989-01-01"

Returns the list of description strings (a subtag may have more than one description)

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("ro") |> LangTags.SubTag.descriptions()
["Romanian", "Moldavian", "Moldovan"]

Returns true if subtag is of “extlang” type, false otherwise.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.extlang?("acm")
true

If found, returns a map for the given subtag, nil otherwise.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.find("tlh", "language")
%{"Record" => %{"Added" => "2005-10-16",
    "Description" => ["Klingon", "tlhIngan-Hol"], "Subtag" => "tlh",
    "Type" => "language"}, "Subtag" => "tlh"}
iex> LangTags.SubTag.find("ef", "script")
nil

Return the subtag code formatted according to the case conventions defined in RFC 5646 section 2.1.1.

• language codes are made lowercase, for example: mn for Mongolian
• script codes are made lowercase with the initial letter capitalized, for example: Cyrl for Cyrillic
• country codes are capitalized, for example: MN for Mongolia

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("mn") |> LangTags.SubTag.format()
"mn"
iex> LangTags.script("cyrl") |> LangTags.SubTag.format()
"Cyrl"
iex> LangTags.region("mn") |> LangTags.SubTag.format()
"MN"

Returns true if subtag is of “language” type, false otherwise.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.language?("af")
true

Indicates if the given string is a macrolanguage as defined by ISO 639-3.

A macrolanguage is a cluster of closely related languages that are sometimes considered to be a single language.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.macrolanguage?("kpe")
true

Creates a new subtag as a map

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.new("es", "language")
LangTags.SubTag.new("es", "language")
iex> LangTags.SubTag.new("es", "script")
** (ArgumentError) non-existent subtag 'es' of type 'script'.

Returns a preferred subtag as a map if the subtag is deprecated.

Examples

# `ro` is preferred over deprecated `mo`.
iex> LangTags.language("mo") |> LangTags.SubTag.preferred()
%{"Record" => %{"Added" => "2005-10-16",
    "Description" => ["Romanian", "Moldavian", "Moldovan"], "Subtag" => "ro",
    "Suppress-Script" => "Latn", "Type" => "language"}, "Subtag" => "ro"}

Indicates if the given string represents a code reserved for private use in the ISO 639 standard.

Subtags with this scope can be used to indicate a primary language for which no ISO 639 or registered assignment exists.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.private_use?("qaa..qtz")
true

Returns true if subtag is of “region” type, false otherwise.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.region?("ad")
true
iex> LangTags.SubTag.region?("en")
false

Returns the subtag scope as a string, or “individual” if the subtag has no scope.

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("zh") |> LangTags.SubTag.scope()
"macrolanguage"
iex> LangTags.language("nah") |> LangTags.SubTag.scope()
"collection"

Returns a Subtag map representing the language’s default script.

For subtags of type language or extlang, returns a Subtag map representing the language’s default script. See RFC 5646 section 3.1.9 for a definition of Suppress-Script.

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("af") |> LangTags.SubTag.script() == LangTags.SubTag.new("Latn", "script")
true
iex> LangTags.language("ae") |> LangTags.SubTag.script()
nil

Returns true if subtag is of “script” type, false otherwise.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.script?("aghb")
true

Indicates if the given string represents a special language code.

These are subtags used for identifying linguistic attributes not particularly associated with a concrete language. These include codes for when the language is undetermined or for non-linguistic content.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.special?("zxx")
true

Get the subtag type

See RFC 5646 section 2.2 for type definitions.

Examples

iex> LangTags.language("af") |> LangTags.SubTag.type() == "language"
true

Returns true if subtag is of “variant” type, false otherwise.

Examples

iex> LangTags.SubTag.variant?("1901")
true
