Required parameters

The following parameters are required:

language-code

The two-or-more-letter code of the language – e.g. en for English.

language-name

The name of the language, without wikilinks, corresponding to the title of the main article about the language – e.g. English language.

description

A description, with an English-language translation (if applicable), of the scope of the category, corresponding to the category's level as defined at Wikipedia:Babel.

Optional parameter

This template supports one optional parameter:

|N=no

This prevents the N-level category from being displayed and should be used for non-natural languages, such as programming languages, where a category for native speakers is not applicable.
