Usage edit

* {{ISO 639|(2-letter code)|(3-letter code)}}

Enter the ISO 639-1 (2 letter) code if exists for the language, else use || to skip it, and the ISO 639-3 (3 letter) code.

Should then be followed by {{ethnologue}} and/or {{Linguist List}} as appropriate. Some entries will have a number of calls to ethnologue for variants. (See Nahuatl for an example.)
