Hi all,

In a "[Wikidata] How many languages supports Wikibase/Wikidata?" thread beginning May 26, Jan Macura writes

Hi all,

looking into [1] I read that Wikidata supports 358 languages. Is it still true? For example, I tried to add label in language coded as "nan" (defined in ISO 639-3) and it worked. However it didn't worked for e.g. "arb", which is also part of the ISO 639-3 standard. So how many?

Thanks
Jan

Thanks for helping to focus these unfolding Wikdaata language development questions, Markus.

Thanks
