-====== Filling out the colour code table ======
+======= Language Vitality Table =======
-To fill out the colour codes for a specific language:
-  * look up a language's vitality rating on these three websites: [[http://www.unesco.org/languages-atlas/|UNESCO]], [[https://www.ethnologue.com/language/fry/|Ethnologue]], [[http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/lang/10425|Endangered Languages]];
+Some large platforms focus on (socio)linguistic data and resources on (endangered) languages. Several calculate the language vitality of the listed languages, for which the education of the language is (one) of the key factors ((Lewis, M. P., & Simons, G. F. (2010). Assessing endangerment: Expanding Fishman's GIDS. //Revue Roumaine de Linguistique// 55(2), 103–20. [[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228384852_Assessing_endangerment_Expanding_Fishman%27s_GIDS]]))((UNESCO Ad Hoc Expert Group on Endangered Languages. (2003). Language Vitality and Endangerment. //International Expert Meeting on the UNESCO Programme Safeguarding of Endangered Languages, Paris, 2003, // CLT/CEI/DCE/ELP/PI/2003/1. [[https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000183699]]))((Lee N.H. & Van Way J. (2016). Assessing levels of endangerment in the Catalogue of Endangered Languages (ELCat) using the Language Endangerment Index (LEI). //Language in Society//. 2016;45(2):271-292. doi:10.1017/S0047404515000962)). Information of such platforms are incorporated in the Wiki entries by means of the Language Vitality Table.
-  * look up these ratings in the table below to find out to what colour codes they correspond;
-  * fill out the vitality table on the language's fact sheet with the three colour codes: the colour codes can be inserted using the Media Manager (click the {{http://dokuwiki/lib/images/toolbar/image.png}}-button in the toolbar when editing a page). Once in the Media manager, the colour codes are located in the folder "endangerment".
+These are:
+  *[[https://en.wal.unesco.org/discover/languages|UNESCO World Atlas of Languages]] with the  UNESCO’s Language Vitality and Endangerment framework
+  *[[ https://glottolog.org/|Glottolog]] with the Agglomerated Endangerment Status (AES)
+  *[[http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/|Endangered Languages Project]] with the the Language Endangerment Index (LEI)
+  *[[https://www.ethnologue.com/|Ethnologue]] . The Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (EGIDS)
+===== Editing the language vitality table =====
+To edit the language vitality table:
+  - look up a language's vitality rating on these three websites (if availabe):
+    *[[https://en.wal.unesco.org/|UNESCO's vitality score]];
+    *[[https://www.ethnologue.com/|Ethnologue - EGIDS]]
+    *[[http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/|Endangered Languages Project - LEI]];
+    *[[https://glottolog.org|Glottolog - AES]] \\
+  -   look up ratings given by each database and match them in the table below to the corresponding colour codes;
+  -   fill in the vitality table with the corresponding colour codes, by adding images to the table. The colour code images can be inserted using the toolbar. The colour code images are located in the Media manager, in the folder "endangerment".
+  - add text (the label of vitality) to your image in between the {..}. For example: endangerment:yellow.png?nolink |Threatened

 ===== 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.
+The colour codes correspond with descriptions of language vitality given by four websites: the website of Unesco's Atlas for languages in danger, the online Ethnologue, the Endangered Languages website, and Glottolog.\\

+In 2024, the colour codes were updated on the Wiki, as changes were made in the scales of the public section of Ethnologue.
