The name used here for ASL is incorrectly capitalised. It's a proper noun so each letter should be capitalised - American Sign Language is not the only American sign language.

We could add ext-curl to require-dev in composer.json to attempt to prevent #322

I updated an autonym in YAML, and ran php src/util/ulsdata2json.php. Nothing changed in the language-data.json file.

I'm running this version of PHP:

aaharoni@macdavid language-data % php --version

Many names of Chinese variants here have parentheses. Here's the full current list:

cjy-hans: [Hans, [AS], 晋语（简化字)]
gan-hans: [Hans, [AS], 赣语（简体）]
hak-hans: [Hans, [AS], 客家语（简体）]
hak-hant: [Hant, [AS], 客家語（繁體）]
zh-cn: [Hans, [AS], 中文（**大陆）]
zh-hans: [Hans, [AS], 中文（简体）]
zh-hant: [Hant, [AS], 中文（繁體）]
zh-hk: [Hant, [AS], 中文（香港）]
zh-mo: [Hant, [AS], 中文（澳門）]
zh-my: [Hans, [AS], 中文（马来西亚）]
zh-sg: [Hans, [AS], 中文（新加坡）]
zh-tw: [Hant, [AS], 中文（台灣）]

One small issue is in cjy-hans: it has ASCII closing parentheses, while all the rest have fullwidth parentheses on both sides.

But a bigger issue is that I wonder whether the parentheses are needed at all. Can these names be written without parentheses? Or is it more natural with parentheses?

Unfortunately I don't know Chinese. For what it's worth, cdo-hani has no parentheses ("閩東語漢字"), and I can find some others without parentheses, e.g. "客家語繁體" (even if I remove Wikipedia and translatewiki from the results).

The autonym for Choctaw is "Chahta" (= Choctaw) or "Chahta anumpa" (= Choctaw language)

See https://choctawschool.com/media/369055/New%20Choctaw%20Dictionary.pdf, https://choctawschool.com/lesson-of-the-day/peopleperson/person-choctaw-teacher.aspx, https://choctawschool.com/lesson-of-the-day/choctaw/chahta-anumpa-ya-the-choctaw-language.aspx

zh: [Hans, [AS, PA, AM], 中文]

"Hans",

According to the current status in Wikipedia-zh and other Wikimedia Projects in zh , should this be Hani instead of Hans ?

taq-tfng is listed as "Latn"

09ab602 moved entry point file index.js to src folder. But that non-default path is not given in package.json. This makes the package unusable

I am trying to use $.uls.data.getScript() to determine which languages should be rendered as SignWriting, but the only sign language it knows about is ase for ASL, which means I'm having to maintain my own list of languages instead.

If a language code contains a script tag, getScript, getDir and isRtl should not need the code to be defined, because it already contains the information they need.

e.g. For mis-arab (uncoded language, Arabic script):

$.uls.data.getScript("mis-arab"); currently returns Zyyy instead of Arab.

$.uls.data.getDir("mis-arab"); currently returns ltr instead of rtl.

$.uls.data.isRtl("mis-arab"); currently returns false instead of true.

This package does not appear to be on npm.

Could someone with the appropriate access publish this package?
