README

Rinvex Language is a simple and lightweight package for retrieving language details with flexibility. A whole bunch of data including name, native, iso codes, language family, language script, language cultures, and other attributes for the 180+ known languages worldwide at your fingertips.

⚠️ This package is renamed and now maintained at rinvex/languages, author suggests using the new package instead.

echo $english->getIso6392();

// Get language ISO 639-3 code: eng
echo $english->getIso6393();

// Get language script details: {"name": "Latin","iso_15924": "Latn","iso_numeric": "215","direction": "ltr"}
echo $english->getScript();

// Get language script name: Latin
echo $english->getScriptName();

// Get language script ISO 15924 code: Latn
echo $english->getScriptIso15924();

// Get language script ISO numeric code: 215
echo $english->getScriptIsoNumeric();

// Get language script direction: ltr
echo $english->getScriptDirection();

// Get language family details: {"name": "Indo-European","iso_639_5": "ine","hierarchy": "ine"}
echo $english->getFamily();

// Get language family name: Indo-European
echo $english->getFamilyName();

// Get language family ISO 6395 code: ine
echo $english->getFamilyIso6395();

// Get language family hierarchy: ine
echo $english->getFamilyHierarchy();

// Get language scope: individual
echo $english->getScope();

// Get language type: living
echo $english->getType();

// Get language cultures: {"en-US": {"name": "English (United States)","native": "English (United States)"}, {...}}
echo $english->getCultures();

// Get language specific culture: {"name": "English (United States)","native": "English (United States)"}
echo $english->getCulture('en-US');


// Get all languages
$languages = languages();

// Get all language scripts
$language_scripts = language_scripts();

// Get all language families
$language_families = language_families();

// Get languages with where condition (language script: Latin)
$whereLanguages = \Rinvex\Language\LanguageLoader::where('script.name', 'Latin');

Notes:

• Rinvex Language is framework-agnostic, so it's compatible with any PHP framework whatsoever without any dependencies at all, except for the PHP version itself ^7.1.3. Awesome, huh? 😃
• Rinvex Language provides the global helpers for your convenience and for ease of use, but in fact it's just wrappers around the underlying LanguageLoader class, which you can utilize and use directly if you wish
