Languages#show info table? #21

Closed defseg closed 4 years ago

defseg commented 4 years ago

The language show page could stand to display some information about the language.

Family and genus
ISO 639-3 code
Macroarea and countries (probably don't want to try to do lat-long; languages are spoken in an area, not a point)

It might also be good to display information about the doculects:

Doculect name and (if present) dialect name - in the English (American) form we've been using so far
Number of consonants, vowels, and tones
Source author, title, and year

No country names. There's no neutral way to handle them, and taking sides in global political issues is entirely out of scope. Might do lat-long instead.
