{{Template shortcut|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}}}

'''{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}''' is designed for use in the reference section of a language article. It links to the appropriate article at ''[[Ethnologue]]'', {{ordinal|{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}}} edition.

== Usage ==
; One parameter
: Replace <code>xyz</code> with the [[ISO 639-3]] code for the language. The page name will be used as the [[link text]]
: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|xyz}}
: {{tlc|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}|xyz}}

; Two parameters
: Replace <code>ABC</code> with the link text to be displayed. This may be useful if the ''Ethnologue'' name differs from the page name of the Wikipedia article.
: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|xyz|ABC}}
: {{tlc|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}|xyz|ABC}}

; No parameters
: The template will revert to a generic citation and link to ''Ethnologue'' 
: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
: {{tlc|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}}}

== Examples ==
; One parameter
: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng}}
: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng}}

; Two parameters
: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng|English}}
: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng|English}}

; No parameters
: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
: {{ {{BASEPAGENAME}} }}

==Note==
For a reference to the ''Ethnologue'' population figures, enter "e{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}" in the <code>ref</code> parameter of {{tl|Infobox language}}. This will automatically generate a reference based on this template, and is easier for other editors to update.
