PHP Languages
=============

[](#php-languages)

PHP Languages is a tiny package to help convert between languages names (such as English, French, German) and various ISO language codes (such as en, fr, de).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install PHP Languages, just run the following Composer command.

```
composer require jord-jd/php-languages
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Get a `Language` object by its English name, native name, or ISO code. You can also find every language in a family. Lookups trim surrounding whitespace and are case-insensitive.

```
use JordJD\Languages\Language;

$language = Language::getByName('German');
$language = Language::getByNativeName('Deutsch');
$language = Language::getByIso639_1('de');
$language = Language::getByIso639_2_t('deu');
$language = Language::getByIso639_2_b('ger');
$language = Language::getByIso639_3('deu');
$languages = Language::getByFamily('Indo-European');
$languages = Language::all();
```

The ISO methods also have aliases without underscores, such as `Language::getByIso6391('de')` and `Language::getByIso6393('deu')`. A single language lookup returns `null` when there is no match; family lookups return an empty array.

Once you have your `Language` object, you can access its various public properties to yield information about the language.

```
echo $language->family;         // Indo-European
echo $language->name;           // German
echo $language->nativeName;     // Deutsch
echo $language->iso639_1;       // de
echo $language->iso639_2_t;     // deu
echo $language->iso639_2_b;     // ger
echo $language->iso639_3;       // deu
```
