As stated under parameters, the language should be set with an ISO 639 language code.

However, if necessary, this can be specified even further with an ISO 15924 script code and/or an ISO 3166-1 country code. Script codes can be used if the text is in a script other than that associated with the language. Country codes can be used to specify the text's country of origin.

This template makes use of the WebFonts extension installed on this project. This extension allows for the proper display of languages where the standard font is either unavailable or of insufficient quality.

The language parameter will determine which font is used. In some cases, multiple fonts are available; the preferred font can be selected with the font parameter. If the font parameter is not used, the default font for that language will be selected.
