Returns a function that generates a list of all the languages that use a given transliteration module. Used by {{translit module documentation}} and {{module cat}}.
Receives the name of a module (minus the namespace Module:) and returns a table (array) of language objects.
require("Module:languages/byTranslitModule")("sa-translit") --> table containing objects for Sanskrit (sa), Punjabi (pa), Old Marathi (omr), Old Hindi (inc-ohi)
return function(translitModule)
local langs = {}
for code, data in pairs(require("Module:languages/data/all")) do
if data.translit == translitModule then
langs = data
elseif type(data.translit) == "table" then
for script, translit_data in pairs(data.translit) do
if translit_data == translitModule then
langs = data
end
end
end
end
local result = {}
local i = 0
for code, data in pairs(langs) do
i = i + 1
result = require("Module:languages").makeObject(code, data)
end
return result
end
