Where did this query come from? I suspect (given that it results in 253 languages) that these are all supported langauges for adding item names to Wikidata, but I'm curious how we know. Or are we not caring if they are supported in Wikidata? Either way, a little explanation of the "why" here would be good.

This query was generated by ChatGPT. I now realize that this query is not correct because many of the most common languages are missing. I add some solutions in the issue #157.


headers = {"Accept": "application/sparql-results+json"}
response = requests.get(
self.WIKIDATA_SPARQL_URL,
params={"query": query},
headers=headers,
timeout=50,
)
Language.objects.create(
wikidata_code="en",
wikidata_id="Q1860",
en_label="english",
autonym="english",
data = response.json()

for item in data["results"]["bindings"]:
wikidata_code = item["ISO639code"]["value"]
wikidata_id = item["language"]["value"].split("/")[-1]
en_label = item["languageLabel"]["value"]
autonym = item["autonym"]["value"]

self.stdout.write(
wikidata_code, "-", wikidata_id, "-", en_label, "-", autonym
)

Language.objects.update_or_create(
wikidata_code=wikidata_code,
defaults={
"wikidata_id": wikidata_id,
"en_label": en_label,
"autonym": autonym,
},
