Adding languages
================
New languages must be added to the data/langdb.yaml file.
The file format is:
ISO 639 code: [writing system code, [regions list], autonym]
The writing system is indicated using ISO 15924 codes. Make sure that the code appears in the scriptgroups section towards the end of the file, and add it if it doesn't.
The list of region codes appears at the end of data/langdb.yaml.
The autonym is the name of the language in the language itself. In some cases, for example for extinct languages such as Jewish Babylonian Aramaic (tmr), the name can be something that is useful for modern users, but in most cases it should be the natural name in the language itself. Please do your best to verify that it's spelled correctly in reliable sources.
After adding a language to data/langdb.yaml, run `php ulsdata2json.php` in the data/ directory to generate the language-data.json file. Don't edit language-data.json manually.
