In order to get you started looking at mapping Language names to Codes -- can you take the data from the latest Pakistan census and prepare a data file with the information for upload to LangNav.

Resources:

• Review the census processing guide
• On the Pakistani Bureau of Statistics website, find the language-related tables
  • An index of the census data is at this page: https://www.pbs.gov.pk/census/
  • The specific table with information is this pdf: https://www.pbs.gov.pk/wp-content/uploads/census_tables/tables/table_11_national.pdf
• Manual Census Intake spreadsheet.
  • Copy the template to a new sheet
  • Add metadata that describes the table
  • Add languages w/ population numbers
  • Add language codes
  • The language hierarchy view is what we looked at to help determine the correct language code
• Upload the file to the repository by adding pk2023.tsv to this folder https://github.com/Translation-Commons/lang-nav/tree/master/public/data/census/official
  • Also add a record of the new file in [censusList.txt](https://github.com/Translation-Commons/lang-nav/blob/master/public/data/census/official/censusList.txt) in the same folder.
  • Then when you look at Census entities in Pakistan (of course, on your local host) you will see a new item appear.
