-===== Note on the wiki's use on colour codes =====
-The colour codes correspond with descriptions of language vitality given by three websites: the website of Unesco's Atlas for languages in danger, the online Ethnologue, and the Endangered Languages website. Each website uses its own, unrelated, system to rate a language's vitality, using terms such as "vulnerable", "endangered", "critically endangered", etc. Mercator's wiki chooses to represent these vitality descriptions with colour codes, so that the viewer can quickly get an idea of the language's vitality.
