The Cutting Room Floor:Babel

Babel is an extension that allows you to denote languages you speak in a userbox on your talk page.

Syntax for babel is as follows:

 {{#babel: babelcode1 | babelcode2 | ... }}

Add one of the following codes for each language you speak or understand, separated by |, where xx is the ISO 639-1 code for the language. The general usage of each code level is as follows:

xx-0

If you don't understand the language at all.

xx-1

Basic ability - enough to understand written material or simple questions in this language.

xx-2

Intermediate ability - enough for editing or discussions.

xx-3

Advanced level - though you can write in this language with no problem, some small errors might occur.

xx-4

"Near-native" level - although it's not your first language from birth, your ability is something like that of a native speaker.

xx-5

Professional proficiency.

xx or xx-N

Native speakers who use a language every day and have a thorough grasp of it, including colloquialisms and idioms.
