\section{Introduction} \pkg{Polyglossia} is a package for facilitating multilingual typesetting with \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX. Basically, it can be used as an alternative to \pkg{babel} for performing the following tasks automatically: \begin{enumerate} \item Loading the appropriate hyphenation patterns. \item Setting the script and language tags of the current font (if possible and available), via the package \pkg{fontspec}. \item Switching to a font assigned by the user to a particular script or language. \item Adjusting some typographical conventions according to the current language (such as afterindent, frenchindent, spaces before or after punctuation marks, etc.). \item Redefining all document strings (like “chapter”, “figure”, “bibliography”). \item Adapting the formatting of dates (for non-Gregorian calendars via external packages bundled with polyglossia: currently the Hebrew, Islamic and Farsi calendars are supported). \item For languages that have their own numbering system, modifying the formatting of numbers appropriately (this also includes redefining the alphabetic sequence for non-Latin alphabets).\footnote{% This is done by bundled sub-packages such as \pkg{arabicnumbers}.} \item Ensuring proper directionality if the document contains languages that are written from right to left (via the package \pkg{bidi}, available separately). \end{enumerate} % Several features of \pkg{babel} that do not make sense in the \XeTeX\ world (like font encodings, shorthands, etc.) are not supported. Generally speaking, \pkg{polyglossia} aims to remain as compatible as possible with the fundamental features of \pkg{babel} while being cleaner, light-weight, and modern. The package \pkg{antomega} has been very beneficial in our attempt to reach this objective. \paragraph{Requirements} The current version of \pkg{polyglossia} makes use of some convenient macros defined in the \pkg{etoolbox} package by \TA{Philipp Lehmann} and \TA{Joseph Wright}. Being designed for \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX, it obviously also relies on \pkg{fontspec} by \TA{Will Robertson}. For languages written from right to left, it needs the package \pkg{bidi} (for \XeTeX) or \pkg{luabidi} (for \LuaTeX) by \TA{Vafa Khalighi} (\textarabic{وفا خليقي}) and the \pkg{bidi-tex GitHub Organisation}. Polyglossia also bundles three packages for calendaric computations (\pkg{hebrewcal}, \pkg{hijrical}, and \pkg{farsical}). \section{Setting up multilingual documents} \subsection{Activating languages} The default language of a document is specified by means of the command \displaycmd{\setdefaultlanguage\oarg{options}\marg{lang}}{\setdefaultlanguage} (or, equivalently, \Cmd\setmainlanguage). Secondary languages are specified with \displaycmd{\setotherlanguage\oarg{options}\marg{lang}.}{\setotherlanguage} All these commands allow you to set language-specific options.\footnote{% Section~\ref{specific} documents these options for the respective languages.} It is also possible to load a series of secondary languages at once (but without options) using \displaycmd{\setotherlanguages\marg{lang1⟩,⟨lang2⟩,⟨lang3⟩,⟨…}.}{\setotherlanguages} % All language-specific options can be modified locally by means of the language-switching commands described in section \ref{languageswitching}. \paragraph{Note} In general, it is advisable to activate the languages \emph{after} all packages have been loaded. This is particularly important if you use right-to-left scripts or languages with babel shorthands. \subsection{Supported languages} Table~\ref{tab:lang} lists all languages currently supported. Those in \TR{red} have specific options and/or commands that are explained in section \ref{specific} below. \begin{table}[ht]\centering \caption{\label{tab:lang}Languages currently supported in \pkg{polyglossia}} % Produced with tools/insert-language-list.rb -- JS, 2019-11-01 % Edited by hand -- JS, 2019-11-01 \begin{tabular}{lllll} \toprule \TX{afrikaans} & danish & \TX{hungarian} & \TX{marathi} & \TX{slovenian} \\ albanian & divehi & icelandic & \TX{mongolian} & \TX{sorbian} \\ amharic & \TX{dutch} & interlingua & nko & \TX{spanish} \\ \TX{arabic} & \TX{english} & \TX{italian} & \TX{norwegian} & swedish \\ \TX{armenian} & \TX{esperanto} & japanese & occitan & \TX{syriac} \\ asturian & estonian & kannada & \TX{persian} & tamil \\ basque & \TX{finnish} & khmer & piedmontese & telugu \\ \TX{belarusian} & \TX{french} & \TX{korean} & polish & \TX{thai} \\ \TX{bengali} & friulian & \TX{kurdish} & \TX{portuguese} & \TX{tibetan} \\ bosnian & \TX{gaelic} & \TX{lao} & romanian & turkish \\ breton & galician & \TX{latin} & romansh & turkmen \\ bulgarian & \TX{georgian} & latvian & \TX{russian} & \TX{ukrainian} \\ \TX{catalan} & \TX{german} & lithuanian & \TX{sami} & urdu \\ coptic & \TX{greek} & macedonian & \TX{sanskrit} & \TX{uyghur} \\ \TX{croatian} & \TX{hebrew} & \TX{malay} & \TX{serbian} & vietnamese \\ \TX{czech} & \TX{hindi} & malayalam & \TX{slovak} & \TX{welsh} \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \paragraph{Version Notes} The support for Amharic\new{1.0.1} should be considered an experimental attempt to port the package \pkg{ethiop}; feedback is welcome. Version 1.1.1\new{1.1.1} added support for Asturian, %\footnote{ Provided by Kevin Godby and Xuacu Saturio.}, Lithuanian, %\footnote{ Provided by Kevin Godby and Paulius Sladkevičius.}, and Urdu. %\footnote{ Provided by Kamal Abdali.} % Version 1.2\new{1.2.0} introduced Armenian, Occitan, Bengali, Lao, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Turkmen.\footnote{% See acknowledgements at the end for due credit to the various contributors.} Version 1.43\new{1.43} brought basic support for Japanese (this is considered experimental, feedback is appreciated). In version 1.45\new{1.45}, support for Kurdish and Mongolian as well as some new variants (Canadian French and English) have been added. Furthermore, for consistency reasons, some language have been renamed (\emph{farsi}\textrightarrow\emph{persian}, \emph{friulan}\textrightarrow\emph{friulian}, \emph{magyar}\textrightarrow\emph{hungarian}, \emph{portuges}\textrightarrow\emph{portuguese}, \emph{samin}\textrightarrow\emph{sami}) or merged (\emph{bahasai}\slash\emph{bahasam}\textrightarrow\emph{malay}, \emph{brazil}\slash\emph{portuges}\textrightarrow\emph{portuguese}, \emph{lsorbian}\slash\emph{usorbian}\textrightarrow\emph{sorbian}, \emph{irish}\slash\emph{scottish}\textrightarrow\emph{gaelic}, \emph{norsk}\slash\emph{nynorsk}\textrightarrow\emph{norwegian}). The old names are still supported for backwards compatibility reasons. Version 1.46\new{1.46} introduces support for Afrikaans, Belarusian, Bosnian and Georgian. Version 1.52\new{1.52} introduces support for Uyghur. \subsection{Relation to and use of Babel language names}\label{sec:babelnames} If you are familiar with the \pkg{babel} package, you will note that \pkg{polyglossia}'s language naming slightly differs. Whereas \pkg{babel} has a unique name for each language variety (\eg\emph{american} and \emph{british}), \pkg{polyglossia} differentiates language varieties via language options (\eg \emph{english}, ¦variant=american¦). Furthermore, \pkg{babel} sometimes uses abbreviated language names (\eg\emph{bahasam} for Bahasa Malayu) as well as endonyms, \ie language names coming from the designated languages (such as \emph{bahasa}, \emph{canadien} or \emph{magyar}). As opposed to this, \pkg{polyglossia} always uses spelled-out (lower-cased) English language names. Please refer to table~\ref{tab:bbllang} for the differing language names in both packages. \begin{table} \caption{\label{tab:bbllang}Babel-polyglossia language name matching} \begin{minipage}[t]{1\columnwidth} \small\centering \begin{tabular}{lll} \toprule \textbf{Babel name} & \textbf{Polyglossia name} & \textbf{Polyglossia options}\tabularnewline \midrule acadien & french & variant=acadian \\ american & english & variant=american [\emph{default}] \\ australian & english & variant=australian \\ austrian & german & variant=austrian, spelling=old \\ bahasa & malay & variant=indonesian [\emph{default}] \\ bahasam & malay & variant=malaysian \\ brazil & portuguese & variant=brazilian \\ british & english & variant=british \\ canadian & english & variant=canadian \\ canadien & french & variant=canadian \\ classiclatin\footnote{In \pkg{babel} currently only selectable via dot modifier (\emph{latin.classic}).} & latin & variant=classic \\ farsi & persian & \\ ecclesiasticlatin\footnote{In \pkg{babel} currently only selectable via dot modifier (\emph{latin.ecclesiastic}).} & latin & variant=ecclesiastic \\ friulan & friulian & \\ german\footnote{Due to the name conflict only available in \pkg{polyglossia} as \emph{germanb} (which is a \pkg{babel} synonym).} & german & spelling=old \\ irish & gaelic & variant=irish [\emph{default}] \\ kurmanji & kurdish & variant=kurmanji \\ lowersorbian & sorbian & variant=lower \\ magyar & hungarian & \\ medievallatin\footnote{In \pkg{babel} currently only selectable via dot modifier (\emph{latin.medieval}).} & latin & variant=medieval \\ naustrian & german & variant=austrian \\ newzealand & english & variant=newzealand \\ ngerman & german & variant=german [\emph{default}] \\ norsk & norwegian & variant=bokmal \\ nswissgerman & german & variant=swiss \\ nynorsk & norwegian & variant=nynorsk [\emph{default}] \\ polutonikogreek & greek & variant=polytonic \\ portuges & portuguese & variant=portuguese [\emph{default}] \\ samin & sami & \\ scottish & gaelic & variant=scottish \\ serbianc & serbian & script=Cyrillic \\ slovene & slovenian & \\ spanishmx & spanish & variant=mexican \\ swissgerman & german & variant=swiss, spelling=old \\ uppersorbian & sorbian & variant=upper [\emph{default}] \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{minipage} \end{table} For convenience reasons, \pkg{polyglossia} also supports the use of babel names\new{1.46} (for the few justified exceptions, please refer to the notes in table~\ref{tab:bbllang}). The babel names listed in table~\ref{tab:bbllang} can be used instead of the corresponding polyglossia name\slash options in \cmd\setdefaultlanguage\ and \cmd\setotherlanguage\ as well as in the \pkg{polyglossia} and \pkg{babel} language switching commands\slash environments documented in section~\ref{sec:langcmds} and \ref{sec:babelcmds} (\eg \cmd\textaustrian\ is synonymous to ¦\textgerman[variant=austrian,spelling=old]¦). However, unless you have special reasons, we strongly encourage you to use the \pkg{polyglossia} names. \subsection{Using IETF language tags}\label{sec:langtags} \pkg{Polyglossia}\new{1.47} also supports the use of language tags that conform to the IETF BCP-47 \emph{Best Current Practice}.\footnote{Please refer to \url{https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47} and \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag} for details.} Thus, you can use tags such as ¦en-GB¦ (for British English) or ¦de-AT-1901¦ (for Austrian German, old spelling) in \cmd\setdefaultlanguage\ and \cmd\setotherlanguage\ as well as in the language switching command \cmd{\textlang\marg{tag}}, the environment \cmd{\begin\{lang\}\marg{tag}} \ldots\ \cmd{\end\{lang\}} and the \pkg{babel} language switching commands\slash environments documented in section~\ref{sec:babelcmds}. Table~\ref{tab:BCP47-polyglossia} lists the currently supported tags. \bgroup\small\addfontfeatures{Numbers={Monospaced,Lining}} \begin{longtable}[c]{lll}

\egroup \subsection{Global options} \pkg{Polyglossia} can be loaded with the following global package options: \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.1.1]{babelshorthands} Globally activates \pkg{babel} shorthands whenever available. Currently shorthands are implemented for Afrikaans, Belarusian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, Georgian, German, Italian, Latin, Mongolian, Russian, Slovak, and Ukrainian. Please refer to the respective language descriptions (sec.~\ref{specific}) for details. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse{localmarks} redefines the internal \LaTeX\ macros \cmd\markboth\ and \cmd\markright\ to the effect that the header text is explicitly set in the currently active language (\ie wrapped into \cmd\foreignlanguage\{\meta{lang}\}\{\meta{\ldots}\}). In earlier versions of \pkg{polyglossia},\new{1.2.0} this option was enabled by default, but we now realize that it causes more problems than it helps (since it breaks if a package or class redefines \cmd\markboth\ or \cmd\markright), so it is now disabled by default. For backwards compatibility, the option \xpgoption{nolocalmarks} which used to switch off the previous default, and now equals the default, is still available. \item \xpgoptkey[1.50]{luatexrenderer}{renderer}[Harfbuzz] determines which font renderer is used with \LuaTeX\ output. The correct font renderer is essential particularly for non-Latin scripts. By default, \pkg{polyglossia} uses the \xpgvalue{Harfbuzz} renderer that has been introduced to \LuaTeX\ in 2019 (\TeX Live 2020), as this gives the best results generally. If you want to use a different renderer, you can specify this here (or individually for specific fonts via the optional argument of the font selection commands). Please refer to the \pkg{fontspec} manual for supported values and for details on how to change the renderer for individual fonts.\\ \xpgoption{luatexrenderer=none} disables \pkg{polyglossia}'s automatic renderer setting. \item \xpgboolkeytrue{verbose} determines whether info messages and (some of the) warnings issued by \LaTeX, \pkg{fontspec} and \pkg{polyglossia} are output. \end{itemize} \section{Language-switching commands}\label{languageswitching} \subsection{Recommended commands}\label{sec:langcmds} For each activated language the command \cmd{\text\meta{lang}\oarg{options}\marg{…}} \DescribeMacro{\text\meta{lang}} (as well as the synonymous \DescribeMacro{\textlang}% \cmd{\textlang\oarg{options}\marg{lang}\marg{…}}\new{1.46}) becomes available for short insertions of text in that language. For example ¦\textrussian{\today}¦ and ¦\textlang{russian}{\today}¦ yield \textrussian{\today} The commands switch to the correct hyphenation patterns, they activate some extra features for the selected language (such as extra spacing before punctuation in French), and they translate the date when using \cmd\today. They do not, however, translate so-called \textit{caption strings}, \ie ``chapter'', ``figure'' etc., to the local language (these remain in the currently active `outer' language). The\DescribeEnv{\meta{lang}}\ environment \meta{lang}, which is also available for any activated language (as well as the equivalent \DescribeMacro{lang}% \cmd{\begin\{lang\}\oarg{options}\marg{lang}} \dots{} \cmd{\end\{lang\}}\new{1.47}), is meant for longer passages of text. It behaves slightly different than the \cmd{\text\meta{lang}} and \cmd\textlang\ commands: It does everything the latter do, but additionally, the caption strings are translated as well, and the language is also passed to auxiliary files, the table of contents and the lists of figures/tables. Like the commands, the environment provides the possibility of setting language options locally. For instance the following allows us to quote the beginning of Homer’s \textit{Iliad}: \begin{Verbatim}[formatcom=\color{xpgblue}] \begin{quote} \begin{greek}[variant=ancient] μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε, πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προί̈αψεν ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλή, ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε Ἀτρεί̈δης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς. \end{greek} \end{quote} \end{Verbatim} \vspace{-.5\baselineskip} \begin{quote} \begin{greek}[variant=ancient] μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε, πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προί̈αψεν ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλή, ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε Ἀτρεί̈δης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς. \end{greek} \end{quote} \noindent\DescribeEnv{Arabic} Note that for Arabic one cannot use the environment ¦arabic¦, as \cmd\arabic\ is defined internally by \LaTeX. In this case we need to use the environment ¦Arabic¦ instead. \subsection{Babel commands}\label{sec:babelcmds} Some macros defined in \pkg{babel}’s \file{hyphen.cfg} (and thus usually compiled into the \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX\ format) are redefined, but keep a similar behaviour. \begin{itemize} \item \DescribeMacro{\selectlanguage}\cmd{\selectlanguage\oarg{options}\marg{lang}} \item \DescribeMacro{\foreignlanguage}\cmd{\foreignlanguage\oarg{options}\marg{lang}\marg{…}} \item \DescribeEnv{otherlanguage}\cmd{\begin\{otherlanguage\}\oarg{options}\marg{lang}} \dots{} \cmd{\end\{otherlanguage\}} \item \DescribeEnv{otherlanguage*}\cmd{\begin\{otherlanguage*\}\oarg{options}\marg{lang}} \dots{} \cmd{\end\{otherlanguage*\}} \item \DescribeEnv{hyphenrules}\cmd{\begin\{hyphenrules\}\oarg{options}\marg{lang}} \dots{} \cmd{\end\{hyphenrules\}}\new{1.50} \end{itemize} % \cmd\selectlanguage\marg{lang} and the ¦otherlanguage¦ environment are identical to the \meta{lang} environment, except that \cmd\selectlanguage\marg{lang} does not need to be explicitly closed. The command \cmd\foreinlanguage\marg{lang}\marg{…} and the ¦otherlanguage*¦ environment are identical with the use of the \cmd\text\meta{lang} or \cmd\textlang\ command, with the one notable exception that they do not translate the date with \cmd\today. The \meta{hyphenrules} environment only switches the hyphenation patterns to the one associated with the language \meta{lang} (or the language variety as specified via \meta{options}). It does no further language-specific change. Since the \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX\ format incorporate \pkg{babel}’s \file{hyphen.cfg}, the low-level commands for hyphenation and language switching defined there are in principal also accessible. Note, however, that the availability of such low-level commands is not guaranteed, as \file{hyphen.cfg}, which is out of \pkg{polyglossia}'s control, is (or at least has been) subject to regular change. \subsection{Other commands} The following commands are probably of lesser interest to the end user, but ought to be mentioned here. \begin{itemize} \item \DescribeMacro{\selectbackgroundlanguage}\cmd{\selectbackgroundlanguage\marg{lang}}: this selects the global font setup and the numbering definitions for the default language. \item \DescribeMacro{\resetdefaultlanguage}\cmd{\resetdefaultlanguage\oarg{options}\marg{lang}} (experimental): completely switches the default language to another one in the middle of a document: \textit{this may have adverse effects}! \item \Cmd\normalfontlatin: in an environment where \cmd\normalfont\ has been redefined to a non-latin script, this will reset to the font defined with \cmd\setmainfont\ etc. In a similar vein, it is possible to use \Cmd\rmfamilylatin, \Cmd\sffamilylatin, and \Cmd\ttfamilylatin. \item \Cmd\latinalph: Representation of counter as a lower-case letter: 1 = a, 2 = b, etc. \item \Cmd\latinAlph: Representation of counter as a upper-case letter: 1 = A, 2 = B, etc. \end{itemize} \subsection{Setting up alias commands} By means of the macro \displaycmd{\setlanguagealias\oarg{options}\marg{language}\marg{alias}}{\setlanguagealias}\new{1.46} you can define alias commands for specific language (variants). \Eg \begin{quote} \begin{verbatim} \setlanguagealias[variant=austrian]{german}{AT} \end{verbatim} \end{quote} % will define a command \cmd{\textAT} as well as an environment ¦{AT}¦ which will link towards the command ¦\textgerman[variant=austrian]¦ and the environment ¦{german}[variant=austrian]¦, respectively. The aliases can also be used in the language switching commands described in section~\ref{sec:langcmds} and \ref{sec:babelcmds}. Note, though, that the usual restrictions for command names apply, so something such as ¦de-AT¦ or ¦de_AT¦ will not work since ¦-¦ and ¦_¦ are not allowed in command names (the same holds true for any non-ASCII character and for digits). For the latter case, and for the case where an alias would clash with an existing command (\eg ¦\fi¦) or a \cmd{\text\meta{\ldots}} command (\eg \cmd\textit), a starred version \Cmd{\setlanguagealias*} is provided which does neither define a \cmd{\text\meta{alias}} command nor an \meta{alias} environment, but which will set up the alias for everything else, including \cmd{\textlang\marg{alias}} and \cmd{\begin\{lang\}\marg{alias}}. \pkg{Polyglossia} comes with some aliases predefined, namely aliases for \pkg{babel} language names (see sec.~\ref{sec:babelnames}) and for IETF BCP-47 language tags (the latter via \cmd{\setlanguagealias*}; see sec.~\ref{sec:langtags}). \section{Font setup} With polyglossia it is possible to associate a specific font with any script or language that occurs in the document. That font should always be defined as \cmd{\⟨script⟩font}\ or \cmd{\⟨language⟩font}. For instance, if the default font defined by \cmd\setmainfont\ does not support Greek, then one can define the font used to display Greek with:\\ \centerline{ \cmd\newfontfamily\cmd{\greekfont[Script=Greek,\meta{…}]\marg{font}}. } Note that polyglossia will use the font defined as is, so assure to do all necessary settings (please refer to the \pkg{fontspec} documentation for details). For instance, if \cmd\arabicfont\ is explicitly defined, then the option ¦Script=Arabic¦ should be included in that definition. If a specific sans serif or monospace (`teletype') font is needed for a particular script or language, it can be defined by means of \new{1.2.0} \cmd{\⟨script⟩fontsf} or \cmd{\⟨language⟩fontsf} and \cmd{\⟨script⟩fonttt} or \cmd{\⟨language⟩fonttt}, respectively. Whenever a new language is activated, \pkg{polyglossia} will first check whether a font has been defined for that language or – for languages in non-Latin scripts – for the script it uses. If it is not defined, it will use the currently active font and – in the case of OpenType fonts – will attempt to turn on the appropriate OpenType tags for the script and language used, in case these are available in the font, by means of \pkg{fontspec}’s \cmd\addfontfeature. If the current font does not appear to support the script of that language, an error message is displayed. \section{Adapting hyphenation} \subsection{Hyphenation exceptions} \TeX\ provides the command \cmd\hyphenation\marg{exceptions} to globally define hyphenation exceptions which override the hyphenation patterns for specified words. The command takes as argument a space-separated list of words where hyphenation points are marked by a dash (if no dash is used, the respective word is not hyphenated at all): \begin{quote} \begin{minipage}{\textwidth} \begin{verbatim} \hyphenation{% po-ly-glos-sia LaTeX } \end{verbatim} \end{minipage} \end{quote} % These exceptions, however, apply to all languages. In addition to this, \pkg{polyglossia} provides the command\new{1.45} \displaycmd{\pghyphenation\oarg{options}\marg{lang}\marg{exceptions}}{\pghyphenation} which can be used to define exceptions that only apply to a specific language or language variant, respectively. \subsection{Hyphenation thresholds} \pkg{Polyglossia} sets reasonable defaults for the hyphenation thresholds of each language, \ie the number of characters that must at least be there at the beginning or end of a word before it is hyphenated (\cmd\lefthyphenmin\ and \cmd\righthyphenmin\ in \TeX). For instance, with English, this threshold is 2 at the beginning (`left') and 3 at the end (`right'), so a word will not be hyphenated within the first two characters at the beginning and the last three characters at the end. To change this value, \pkg{polyglossia} provides the command\new{1.50} \displaycmd{\setlanghyphenmins\oarg{options}\marg{lang}\marg{l}\marg{r}}{\setlanghyphenmins} % where \meta{lang} is to be replaced with the respective language name or alias, \meta{options} can be used to delimit the modification to a particular variety (\eg via \texttt{variant} or \texttt{spelling}), \meta{l} with the left threshold value (\eg \texttt{3}), and \meta{r} with the right threshold value (\eg \verb|\setlanghyphenmins[spelling=old]{german}{4}{4}|). This setting can be changed repeatedly in the preamble and the document body. It applies to all subsequent text in the respective language (variety), but only after the next language switch. \subsection{Hyphenation disabling} In some very specific contexts (such as music score creation), \TeX\ hyphenation is something to avoid completely as it may cause troubles. \pkg{Polyglossia} provides two functions: \Cmd\disablehyphenation\ and \Cmd\enablehyphenation. Note that if you select a new language while hyphenation is disabled, it will remain disabled. If you re-enable it, the hyphenation patterns of the currently selected language will be activated. \section{Language-specific options and commands}\label{specific} This section gives a list of all languages for which options and end-user commands are defined. Note the following conventions: \begin{itemize} \item The preset value of each option (\ie the setting that applies by default, if the option is not explicitly set) is given in \xpgpresetvalue{italics}. \item If an option key may be used without a value, the value that applies for value-less keys is marked by a preceding \xpgdefaultvalue{asterisk}. \end{itemize} For instance, \texttt{babelshorthands = *true} or \texttt{\textit{false}} means that \xpgvalue{babelshorthands} is \xpgvalue{false} by default in the respective language, and that passing \xpgvalue{babelshorthands} (without value) is equivalent to passing \xpgvalue{babelshorthands=true}. \subsection{afrikaans}\label{afrikaans} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.1.1]{babelshorthands} If this is turned on, the following shorthands defined for fine-tuning hyphenation and micro-typography of Afrikaans words are activated: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"-¦] adds a hyphenation point that does still allow for hyphenation at the points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to \cmd\- in default \TeX). \item[\texttt{"\textasciitilde}] for a hyphen sign without a breakpoint. Useful for cases where the hyphen should stick at the following syllable. \item[¦"|¦] disables a ligature at this position. \item[¦""¦] allows for a line break at this position (without hyphenation sign). \item[¦"/¦] a slash that allows for a subsequent line break. As opposed to \cmd\slash, hyphenation at the breakpoints preset in the hyphenation patterns is still allowed. \end{shorthands} \end{itemize} \subsection{arabic}\label{arabic} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey{calendar}{\xpgpresetvalue{gregorian} or \xpgvalue{islamic} (= \xpgvalue{hijri})} \item \xpgchoicekey{locale}{\xpgpresetvalue{default}\footnote{ % For Egypt, Sudan, Yemen and the Gulf states.}, \xpgvalue{mashriq}\footnote{ % For Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine.}, \xpgvalue{libya}, \xpgvalue{algeria}, \xpgvalue{tunisia}, \xpgvalue{morocco}, \xpgvalue{mauritania}} This setting influences the spelling of the month names for the Gregorian calendar, as well as the form of the numerals (unless overriden by the following option). \item \xpgchoicekey{numerals}{\xpgpresetvalue{mashriq} or \xpgvalue{maghrib}} The latter is the default when \xpgvalue{locale=algeria}, \xpgvalue{tunisia}, or \xpgvalue{morocco}. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.50]{abjadalph} Set this to true if you want the alphabetic counters to be output using \cmd\abjadalph\ rather than \cmd\abjad. Note that this limits the counter scope to 28 (see \cmd\abjadalph\ below). \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.0.3]{abjadjimnotail} Set this to true if you want the \textit{abjad} form of the number three to be \textarabic{ج‍} – as in the manuscript tradition – instead of the modern usage \textarabic{ج}. \end{itemize} \paragraph*{Commands:} \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\abjad outputs Arabic \textit{abjad} numbers according to the Mashriq varieties. Example: ¦\abjad{1863}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjad{1863}}. \item \Cmd\abjadmaghribi outputs Arabic \textit{abjad} numbers according to the Maghrib varieties. Example: ¦\abjadmaghribi{1863}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjadmaghribi{1863}}. \item \Cmd\abjadalph\new{1.50} steps through the Arabic alphabet, thus it can only be used up to 28. Example: ¦\textarabic{\abjadalph{18}}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjadalph{18}}. \item \Cmd\aemph to emphasize text with \cmd\overline.\new{1.2.0} ¦\textarabic{\aemph{اب}}¦ yields \textarabic{\aemph{اب}}. This command is also available for Farsi, Urdu, etc. \end{itemize} \subsection{armenian}\label{armenian} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey[1.45]{variant}{\xpgvalue{eastern} or \xpgpresetvalue{western}} \item \xpgchoicekey[1.45]{numerals}{\xpgvalue{armenian} or \xpgpresetvalue{arabic}} \end{itemize} \subsection[belarusian]{belarusian\new{1.46}}\label{belarusian} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse{babelshorthands} If this is turned on, the following shorthands are activated: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"-¦] adds a hyphenation point that does still allow for hyphenation at the points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to \cmd\-). \item[¦"=¦] adds an explicit hyphen with a breakpoint, allowing for hyphenation at the other points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to plain ¦-¦). \item[\texttt{"\textasciitilde}] for a hyphen sign without a breakpoint. Useful for cases where the hyphen should stick at the following syllable. \item[¦"|¦] disables a ligature at this position. \item[¦""¦] allows for a line break at this position (without hyphenation sign). \item[¦",¦] thinspace for initials with a breakpoint in following surname. \item[¦"‘¦] for German left double quotes (looks like ,,). \item[¦"’¦] for German right double quotes (looks like “). \item[¦"<¦] for French left double quotes (looks like <<). \item[¦">¦] for French right double quotes (looks like >>). \end{shorthands} There are also three shorthands for the Cyrillic dash (\textrussian{тире}), which is shorter than the emdash but longer than the endash (namely 0.8\,em). Note that, since it is not covered by unicode, this character is faked by telescoping two endashes: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"---¦] Cyrillic dash for the use in normal text. This requires preceding space in input (trailing space is optional) and prints with a non-breakable thin space before and after the dash. \item[¦"--\textasciitilde¦] Cyrillic dash for the use in compound names (surnames). As opposed to ¦"---¦ this removes any space before and after the dash. \item[¦"--*¦] Cyrillic dash for denoting direct speech. This adds a larger space after the dash. Space before the dash is output as is. \end{shorthands} \item \xpgchoicekey{numerals}{\xpgpresetvalue{arabic}, \xpgvalue{cyrillic-alph} or \xpgvalue{cyrillic-trad}} Uses either Arabic numerals or Cyrillic alphanumerical numbering. The two Cyrillic variants differ as follows: \begin{itemize} \item \xpgvalue{cyrillic-alph} steps through the Cyrillic alphabet. Thus it can only be used up to 30. \item \xpgvalue{cyrillic-trad} (= \xpgvalue{cyrillic}) uses a traditional Cyrillic alphanumeric system.% \footnote{See \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_numerals}.} It supports numbers up to 999\,999. \end{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey{spelling}{\xpgpresetvalue{modern} or \xpgvalue{classic} (= \xpgvalue{tarask})} With ¦spelling=classic¦, captions and dates adhere to the Taraškievica (or Belarusian classical) orthography rather than the standard orthography. \end{itemize} \condbreak{\baselineskip} \paragraph*{Commands:} \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\Asbuk: produces uppercased Cyrillic alphanumerals, for environments such as ¦enumerate¦. It steps through the Cyrillic alphabet and thus it can only be used up to 30. The command takes a counter as argument, \eg ¦\textbelarusian{\Asbuk{page}}¦ produces \textrussian{\Asbuk{page}}. \item \Cmd\asbuk: same as \cmd\Asbuk\ but in lowercase. \item \Cmd\AsbukTrad: same as \cmd\Asbuk\ but using the traditional Cyrillic alphanumeric numbering which supports numbers up to 999\,999.\\ \Eg ¦\textbelarusian{\AsbukTrad{page}}¦ produces \textrussian{\AsbukTrad{page}}. \item \Cmd\asbukTrad: same as \cmd\AsbukTrad\ but in lowercase. \end{itemize} \subsection[bengali]{bengali\new{1.2.0}}\label{bengali} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey{numerals}{\xpgvalue{Western}, \xpgvalue{Bengali}, or \xpgpresetvalue{Devanagari}} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse{changecounternumbering} Use specified numerals for headings and page numbers. \end{itemize} \subsection{catalan}\label{catalan} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.1.1]{babelshorthands} Activates the shorthands \texttt{"l} and \texttt{"L} to type geminated l or L. \end{itemize} \paragraph*{Commands:} \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd{\l.l} and \Cmd{\L.L}\new{1.1.1} can be used to type a geminated l, as in \textit{co\l.laborar}, similar to \pkg{babel} (the glyph U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT is used as a geminating sign). \end{itemize} \subsection{croatian}\label{croatian} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.47]{babelshorthands} If this is turned on, the following shorthands for fine-tuning hyphenation and micro-typography of Croatian words are activated. \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"|¦] disables a ligature at this position. \item[¦"=¦] for an explicit hyphen with a breakpoint, allowing for hyphenation at the other points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to plain ¦-¦). \item[\texttt{"\textasciitilde}] for a hyphen sign without a breakpoint. Useful for cases where the hyphen should stick at the following syllable. \item[¦"-¦] adds a hyphenation point that does still allow for hyphenation at the points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to \cmd\-). \item[¦""¦] allows for a line break at this position (without hyphenation sign). \item[¦"/¦] a slash that allows for a subsequent line break. As opposed to \cmd\slash, hyphenation at the breakpoints preset in the hyphenation patterns is still allowed. \end{shorthands} Furthermore, the following shorthands generate easy access to Croatian digraphs (ligatures): \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"dz¦] Generates the ligature \charifavailable{01C6}{dž}\ if the font provides it. If not, the two characters are output separately. Also available for ¦"Dz¦ (\charifavailable{01C5}{Dž}) and ¦"DZ¦ (\charifavailable{01C4}{DŽ}). \item[¦"lj¦] Generates the ligature \charifavailable{01C9}{lj}\ if the font provides it. If not, the two characters are output separately. Also available for ¦"Lj¦ (\charifavailable{01C8}{Lj}) and ¦"LJ¦ (\charifavailable{01C7}{LJ}). \item[¦"nj¦] Generates the ligature \charifavailable{01CC}{nj}\ if the font provides it. If not, the two characters are output separately. Also available for ¦"Nj¦ (\charifavailable{01CB}{Nj}) and ¦"NJ¦ (\charifavailable{01CA}{NJ}). \end{shorthands} Finally, there are also four shorthands for quotation marks: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"`¦] for Croatian left double quotes („). \item[¦"'¦] for Croatian right double quotes (”). \item[¦">¦] for Croatian left guillemets (»). \item[¦"<¦] for Croatian right guillemets («). \end{shorthands} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.47]{disableligatures} If this is \xpgvalue{true}, all Croatian ligatures (for digraphs such as \charifavailable{01C6}{dž}) will be replaced by single characters. This can be useful if the ligatures on your font are broken (if the font does not have them, they are automatically replaced). \item \xpgboolkeytrue[1.53]{localalph} If \xpgvalue{true}, alphanumeric counters will use a locally established version which excludes the characters \meta{q}, \meta{w}, \meta{x} and \meta{y} from alphabetic counting. Obviously this limits the counting range to 22. \item \xpgboolkeytrue[1.51]{splithyphens} According to Croatian typesetting conventions, if a word with a hard hyphen (such as \emph{je-li}) is hyphenated at this hyphen, a second hyphenation character is to be inserted at the beginning of the line that follows the hyphenation (\emph{je-/-li}). By default, this is done automatically (if you are using \LuaTeX, the \pkg{luavlna} package is loaded to achieve this). Set this option to ¦false¦ to disable the feature. \end{itemize} \subsection{czech}\label{czech} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.45]{babelshorthands} If this is turned on, the following shorthands for Czech are activated: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"=¦] for an explicit hyphen sign which is repeated at the beginning of the next line when hyphenated, as common in Czech typesetting (only needed with ¦splithyphens=false¦). \item[¦"‘¦] for Czech left double quotes („). \item[¦"’¦] for Czech right double quotes (“). \item[¦">¦] for Czech left double guillemets (»). \item[¦"<¦] for Czech right double guillemets («). \end{shorthands} \item \xpgboolkeytrue[1.45]{splithyphens} According to Czech typesetting conventions, if a word with a hard hyphen (such as \emph{je-li}) is hyphenated at this hyphen, a second hyphenation character is to be inserted at the beginning of the line that follows the hyphenation (\emph{je-/-li}). By default, this is done automatically\new{1.46} (if you are using \LuaTeX, the \pkg{luavlna} package is loaded to achieve this). Set this option to ¦false¦ to disable the feature. \item \xpgboolkeytrue[1.45]{vlna} According to Czech typesetting conventions, single-letter words (non-syllable prepositions) must not occur at line ends. \pkg{Polyglossia} takes care of this automatically by default\new{1.46} (if you are using \LuaTeX, the \pkg{luavlna} package is loaded to achieve this). Set this option to ¦false¦ to disable the feature. \end{itemize} \subsection{dutch}\label{dutch} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.1.1]{babelshorthands} If this is turned on, the following shorthands defined for fine-tuning hyphenation and micro-typography of Dutch words are activated: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"-¦] adds a hyphenation point that does still allow for hyphenation at the points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to \cmd\- in default \TeX). \item[\texttt{"\textasciitilde}] for a hyphen sign without a breakpoint. Useful for cases where the hyphen should stick at the following syllable. \item[¦"|¦] disables a ligature at this position. \item[¦""¦] allows for a line break at this position (without hyphenation sign). \item[¦"/¦] a slash that allows for a subsequent line break. As opposed to \cmd\slash, hyphenation at the breakpoints preset in the hyphenation patterns is still allowed. \end{shorthands} In addition, the macro \Cmd\- is redefined to allow hyphens in the rest of the word (equivalent to ¦"-¦). \end{itemize} \subsection{english}\label{english} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey{variant}{\xpgpresetvalue{american} (= \xpgvalue{us}), \xpgvalue{usmax} (same as \xpgvalue{american} but with additional hyphenation patterns), \xpgvalue{british} (= \xpgvalue{uk}), \xpgvalue{australian}, \xpgvalue{canadian}\new{1.45}, or \xpgvalue{newzealand}} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse{ordinalmonthday} The default value is true for \xpgvalue{variant=british}. \end{itemize} \subsection{esperanto}\label{esperanto} \paragraph*{Commands:} \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\hodiau\ and \Cmd\hodiaun are special forms of \cmd\today. The former produces the date in Esperanto preceded by the article (\emph{la}), which is the most common date format. The latter produces the same date format in accusative case. \end{itemize} \subsection{finnish}\label{finnish} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.45]{babelshorthands} If this is turned on, the following shorthands for fine-tuning hyphenation and micro-typography of Finnish words are activated: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"-¦] adds a hyphenation point that does still allow for hyphenation at the points preset in the hyphenation patterns (as opposed to \cmd\-). \item[\texttt{"\textasciitilde}] for a hyphen sign without a breakpoint. Useful for cases where the hyphen should stick at the following syllable. \item[¦"|¦] disables a ligature at this position. \item[¦""¦] allows for a line break at this position (without hyphenation sign). \item[¦"/¦] a slash that allows for a subsequent line break. As opposed to \cmd\slash, hyphenation at the breakpoints preset in the hyphenation patterns is still allowed. \end{shorthands} \end{itemize} \subsection{french}\label{french} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey{variant}{\xpgpresetvalue{french} or \xpgvalue{canadian} (=~\xpgvalue{acadian})\new{1.45}, \xpgvalue{swiss}\new{1.47}} Currently, the only difference between the four variants is that \xpgvalue{swiss} uses \xpgvalue{thincolonspace=true} by default since this conforms to the Swiss conventions. \item \xpgboolkeytrue{autospacing} One of the most distinct features of French typography is the addition of extra spacing around punctuation and quotation marks (guillemets). By default, polyglossia adds these spaces automatically, so you don't need to enter them. This options allows you to switch this feature off globally. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.46]{thincolonspace} With \xpgvalue{variant=swiss}, the default value is \xpgvalue{true}. If \xpgvalue{false}, a full (non-breaking) interword space is inserted before a colon. If \xpgvalue{true}, a thinner space -- as before \texttt{;}, \texttt{!}, and \texttt{?} -- is used. Note that this option must be set after the ¦variant¦ option. \item \xpgboolkeytrue{autospaceguillemets}[Up to version 1.44, the option was called \xpgvalue{automaticspacesaroundguillemets}. For backwards compatibility reasons, the more verbose old option is still supported.] If you only want to disable the automatic addition of spacing after opening and before closing guillemets (and not at punctuation), set this to \textit{false}. Note that the more general option \textit{autospacing} overrides this. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.45]{autospacetypewriter}[Babel's syntax \xpgvalue{OriginalTypewriter} is also supported.] By default, automatic spacing is disabled in typewriter font. If this is enabled, spacing in typewriter context is the same as with roman and sans serif font, depending on the \xpgvalue{autospacing} and \xpgvalue{autospaceguillemets} settings (note that this was the default up to v.~1.44). \item \xpgboolkeyfalse{frenchfootnote} If \xpgvalue{true}, footnotes start with a non-superscripted number followed by a dot, as common in French typography. Note that this might interfere with the specific footnote handling of classes or packages. Also note that this option is only functional (by design) if French is the main language. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.46]{frenchitemlabels} If \textit{true}, itemize item labels use em-dashes throughout, as common in French typography. Note that this option is only functional (by design) if French is the main language. Also, it might interfere with list packages such as \pkg{enumitem}. \item \xpgboolkeytrue[1.51]{frenchpart} By default, \pkg{polyglossia} modifies part headings to match French conventions (\emph{Première partie} rather than \emph{Partie I}). Next to the standard classes, specifics of \pkg{KOMA-script}, \pkg{memoir} and the \pkg{titlesec} package are taken into account. With other classes or packages, redefinition might fail if these have particular part settings.

By default, \pkg{polyglossia} tries hard to provide the correct order for different classes and packages (standard classes, \pkg{KOMA-script}, \pkg{memoir}, and \pkg{titlesec} package should work, as well as \pkg{fancyhdr} and \pkg{caption}). However, since the definition of these strings is not standardized, the redefinitions might not work and even interfere badly if you use specific classes or packages that redefine the respective strings themselves. In this case, you can disable some or all changes. The possibilities are: \begin{itemize} \item ¦all¦: Redefine figure and table captions, part and chapter headings, and running headers (=~default setting) \item ¦captions¦: Redefine figure and table captions only \item ¦headings¦: Redefine part and chapter headings only \item ¦headers¦: Redefine running headers only \item ¦hheaders¦: Redefine part and chapter headings as well as running headers \item ¦none¦: Do not redefine anything \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \paragraph*{Commands:} \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\ontoday\ (= \Cmd\ondatehungarian): special form of \cmd\today\ which produces a slightly different date format as used in prepositional phrases (such as ‘on February 10th’) in Hungarian. \end{itemize} \subsection{italian}\label{italian} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.2.0cc]{babelshorthands}% TODO: check version Activates the ¦"¦ character as a switch to perform etymological hyphenation when followed by a letter.

The \xpgvalue{classic} and the \xpgvalue{medieval} variant do not use the letters \emph{U} and \emph{v}, but only \emph{V} and \emph{u}. This concerns predefined terms like month names as well as the behaviour of the \cmd\MakeUppercase\ and the \cmd\MakeLowercase\ command. The ¦medieval¦ and the ¦ecclesiastic¦ variant use the ligatures \emph{\ae} and \emph{\oe}. See table \ref{tab:latin-spelling} for examples. Furthermore, the \xpgvalue{ecclesiastic} variant takes care for a punctuation spacing similar to French, but with smaller spaces, as provided for PDF\TeX\ by the \pkg{ecclesiastic} package. \begin{table} \centering \caption{\label{tab:latin-spelling}Spelling differences between the Latin language variants.\newline The capitalization of month names and the use of \emph{i/j} may be affected by the \xpgvalue{capitalizemonth} and the \xpgvalue{usej} option.} \begin{tabular}{llll} \toprule \textbf{classic} & \textbf{medieval} & \textbf{modern} & \textbf{ecclesiastic} \\ \midrule Ianuarii & Ianuarii & Ianuarii & ianuarii \\ Nouembris & Nouembris & Novembris & novembris \\ Praefatio & Præfatio & Praefatio & Præfatio \\ \addlinespace\multicolumn{4}{@{}l}{\cmd{\MakeUppercase\{Iulius\}} yields:} \\ IVLIVS & IVLIVS & IULIUS & IULIUS \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \item \xpgchoicekey[1.46]{hyphenation}{\xpgvalue{classic}, \xpgvalue{modern}, or \xpgvalue{liturgical}} There are three different sets of hyphenation patterns for Latin. Separate documention for them is available on the Internet.\footnote{\url{https://github.com/gregorio-project/hyphen-la/blob/master/doc/README.md\#hyphenation-styles}} Each of the four variants mentioned above has its default set of hyphenation patterns as indicated by table \ref{tab:latin-hyphenation}. Use the ¦hyphenation¦ option if the default style does not fit your needs. Note that the liturgical hyphenation patterns are the default of none of the language variants. To use them, you have to say \xpgvalue{hyphenation=liturgical} in any case. \begin{table} \caption{\label{tab:latin-hyphenation}Latin default hyphenation styles} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll} \toprule \textbf{Language variant} & \textbf{Default hyphenation style} \\ \midrule classic & classic \\ medieval & modern \\ modern & modern \\ ecclesiastic & modern \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.46]{ecclesiasticfootnotes} Use footnotes as provided by the \pkg{ecclesiastic} package, which typesets footnotes with ordinary instead of superior numbers and without indentation. As many ecclesiastic documents and liturgical books use footnotes that are very similar to the ordinary \LaTeX\ ones, we do not use this footnote style as default even for the ¦ecclesiastic¦ variant. Note that this option is only possible if Latin is the main language of your document. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.46]{usej} Use \emph{J/j} in predefined terms. The letter \emph{j} is not of ancient origin. In early modern times, it was used to distinguish the consonantic \emph{i} from the vocalic~\emph{i}. Nowadays, the use of \emph{j} has disappeared from most Latin publications. So ¦false¦ is the default value for all four language variants. Use this option if you prefer \emph{Januarii} and \emph{Maji} to \emph{Ianuarii} and \emph{Maii}. \item \xpgboolkey[1.46]{capitalizemonth} Capitalize the month name when printing dates (using the \cmd\today\ command). Traditionally, month names are capitalized. However, in recent liturgical books they are lowercase. So ¦true¦ is the default value for the variants ¦classic¦, ¦medieval¦, and ¦modern¦, whereas ¦false¦ is the default value for the ¦ecclesiastic¦ variant. \item \xpgboolkeyfalse{babelshorthands} Enable the following shorthands inherited from \pkg{babel-latin} and the \pkg{ecclesiastic} package. \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"<¦] for « (left guillemet) \item[¦">¦] for » (right guillemet) \item[¦"¦] If no other shorthand applies, ¦"¦ before any letter character defines an optional break point allowing further break points within the same word (as opposed to the \cmd\- command). \item[¦"|¦] the same as ¦"¦, but also possible before non-letter characters \item[¦'a¦] for á (a with acute), also available for é, í, ó, ú, ý, ǽ, and \'œ \item[¦'A¦] for Á (A with acute), also available for É, Í, Ó, Ú, \'V, Ý, Ǽ, and \'Œ \end{shorthands} The following shorthands are only available for the ¦medieval¦ and the ¦ecclesiastic¦ variant. \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"ae¦] for æ (ae ligature), also available for œ \item[¦"Ae¦] for Æ (AE ligature), also available for Œ \item[¦"AE¦] for Æ (AE ligature), also available for Œ \item[¦'ae¦] for ǽ (ae ligature with acute), also available for \'œ \item[¦'Ae¦] for Ǽ (AE ligature with acute), also available for \'Œ \item[¦'AE¦] for Ǽ (AE ligature with acute), also available for \'Œ \end{shorthands} \item \xpgboolkeyfalse[1.46]{prosodicshorthands} Enable shorthands for prosodic marks (macrons and breves) very similiar to those provided by \pkg{babel-latin} using the ¦withprosodicmarks¦ modifier. Note that the active ¦=¦ character used for macrons will cause problems with commands using \texttt{key=value} interfaces, such as the command ¦\includegraphics[scale=2]{...}¦. Use \cmd{\shorthandoff\{=\}} before such commands (and \cmd{\shorthandon\{=\}} thereafter) within every environment with prosodic shorthands enabled.

Cyrillic letters in math mode can be typed with the aid of text commands such as \cmd\textbf , \cmd\textsf , \cmd\textit , \cmd\texttt , etc. The macros \cmd\Prob , \cmd\Variance , \cmd\NOD , \cmd\nod , \cmd\NOK , \cmd\nok , \cmd\Proj\ print some rare Russian mathematical symbols. \subsection[sami]{sami\new{1.45}}\label{sami} Currently support for Sami is limited to Northern Sami. \subsection{sanskrit}\label{sanskrit} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey[1.0.2]{script}{\xpgpresetvalue{Devanagari}, \xpgvalue{Gujarati}, \xpgvalue{Malayalam}, \xpgvalue{Bengali}, \xpgvalue{Kannada}, \xpgvalue{Telugu}, or \xpgvalue{Latin}} The value is passed to \pkg{fontspec} in cases where the respective \cmd{\⟨script⟩font} is not defined.

Note that, since it is not covered by unicode, this character is faked by telescoping two endashes: \begin{shorthands} \item[¦"---¦] Cyrillic dash for the use in normal text. This requires preceding space in input (trailing space is optional) and prints with a non-breakable thin space before and after the dash. \item[¦"--\textasciitilde¦] Cyrillic dash for the use in compound names (surnames). As opposed to ¦"---¦ this removes any space before and after the dash. \item[¦"--*¦] Cyrillic dash for denoting direct speech. This adds a larger space after the dash. Space before the dash is output as is. \end{shorthands} \item \xpgboolkeytrue[1.52]{mathfunctions} By default, some specific math macros are defined for Ukrainian (see below).

Alternatively Roman numbers are common as well. By default, \pkg{polyglossia} uses ordinals. This option allows to change this. Choices are: \begin{itemize} \item ¦ordinal¦: Use ordinals for chapter and part headings (=~default setting) \item ¦roman¦: Use Roman numbering for chapter and part heading. \item ¦arabic¦: Use Arabic numbering for chapter and part heading (=~LaTeX default). \end{itemize} Note that this option only works if \xpgoption{swapstrings} is set to \xpgvalue{all}, \xpgvalue{headings} or \xpgvalue{hheaders}. The caveats for that options (see below) apply. \item \xpgchoicekey[1.53]{swapstrings}{\xpgdefaultvalue{\xpgpresetvalue{all}}, \xpgvalue{captions}, \xpgvalue{headings}, \xpgvalue{headers}, \xpgvalue{hheaders}, or \xpgvalue{none}} In Uyghur, table and figure caption strings need to be in a different order and format than in other languages. By default, \pkg{polyglossia} provides the correct for different classes and packages (standard classes, \pkg{KOMA-script}, \pkg{memoir}, and \pkg{titlesec} package should work, as well as \pkg{fancyhdr} and \pkg{caption}). However, since the definition of these strings is not standardized, the redefinitions might not work and even interfere badly if you use specific classes or packages that redefine the respective strings themselves. In this case, you can disable some or all changes. The possibilities are: \begin{itemize} \item ¦all¦: Redefine figure and table captions, part and chapter headings, and running headers (=~default setting) \item ¦captions¦: Redefine figure and table captions only \item ¦headings¦: Redefine part and chapter headings only \item ¦headers¦: Redefine running headers only \item ¦hheaders¦: Redefine part and chapter headings as well as running headers \item ¦none¦: Do not redefine anything \end{itemize} \end{itemize} % \paragraph*{Commands:} \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\uyghurordinal: outputs Uyghur ordinals. Supported input: integer numbers in the range of 1--100. \item \Cmd\uyghurord: same as \cmd\uyghurordinal\ but with counter as input (\eg ¦\textuyghur{\uyghurord{page}}¦). \end{itemize} \subsection{welsh}\label{welsh} \paragraph*{Options:} \begin{itemize} \item \xpgchoicekey{date}{\xpgvalue{long} or \xpgpresetvalue{short}} \end{itemize} \section{Modifying or extending captions, date formats and language settings} \pkg{Polyglossia} uses the following macros to define language-specific captions (\ie strings such as ``chapter''), date formats and additional language settings (\meta{lang} is to be replaces with the respective language name): \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd{\captions\meta{lang}} stores definitions of caption strings (such as, in the case of English, ¦\def\chaptername{Chapter}¦) \item \Cmd{\date\meta{lang}} stores definitions of date formats (usually redefinitions of \cmd\today, in some cases also definitions of additional date commands) \item \Cmd{\blockextras\meta{lang}} stores macros that are to be executed when the language \meta{lang} is activated via \cmd\selectlanguage\ command or the \meta{lang} environment \item \Cmd{\inlineextras\meta{lang}} stores macros that are to be executed when the language \meta{lang} is activated locally via \cmd\text\meta{lang} command \item \Cmd{\noextras\meta{lang}} stores macros that are to be executed when the language \meta{lang} is closed \end{itemize} % In order to redefine internal macros, we recommend to use the command \cmd\gappto. For compatibility with \pkg{babel} the command \cmd\addto\ is also available to the same effect. For instance, to change the \cmd\chaptername\ for language ¦lingua¦, you can do this: \begin{verbatim} \gappto\captionslingua{\def\chaptername{Caput}} \end{verbatim} % Note that this needs to be done after the respective language has been loaded with \cmd\setmainlanguage\ or \cmd\setotherlanguage. Specifically for package authors, analogous commands are provided which are only executed if a specific language \emph{variety} is used. As opposed to the macros above, these refer to babel names. Other than that, the function is identical: \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd{\captions@bbl@\meta{babelname}} \item \Cmd{\date@bbl@\meta{babelname}} \item \Cmd{\blockextras@bbl@\meta{babelname}} \item \Cmd{\inlineextras@bbl@\meta{babelname}} \item \Cmd{\noextras@bbl@\meta{babelname}} \end{itemize} % By default, these macros are undefined. If they are defined (\eg by an external package), they will be executed after their respective \meta{lang} counterpart and thus can be used to overwrite definitions of the former. Again, use \cmd\gappto\ to define\slash modify these macros. For instance, to add a new caption \cmd\footnotename\ to the Swiss variety of German (babel name ¦nswissgerman¦), you can do this: \begin{verbatim} \gappto\captions@bbl@nswissgerman{\def\footnotename{Fussnote}} \end{verbatim} % If you do this in a document preamble rather than in a package, you need to embrace the redefinition by \cmd\makeatletter\ and \cmd\makeatother\ due to the ¦@¦ in the macro names. Finally, as soon as the language has been switched (either inline or as a block), \pkg{polyglossia} executes the (by default empty) hook \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd{\polyglossia@language@switched} \end{itemize} to which you can append arbitrary code (via \cmd\gappto) that should be executed if (a particular) language is being activated. This is done before any of the above macros are issued (so you can still alter them), but at a point where \cmd\languagename, \cmd\babelname\ and \cmd\languageid\ are already set, so you can condition on specific languages in your code. This hook is particularly provided for package authors. \section{Script-specific numbering} Languages and scripts have specific numbering conventions. Some use decimal digits (\eg Arabic numerals), some use alphabetic or alphanumerical notation (\eg Roman numbering). In some cases, different conventions are available (\eg Mashriq or Maghrib numbering in Arabic script, Arabic or Hebrew [=~alphanumeric] numbering in Hebrew). If the latter is the case, \pkg{polyglossia} provides language options which allow you to select or switch to the suitable convention. With the appropriate language option set, \pkg{polyglossia} will automatically convert the output of internal \LaTeX\ counters to their localized forms, for instance to display page, chapter and section numbers. For manual input of numbers, macros are provided. These convert Arabic numeric input to the respective local decimal digit (see sec.~\ref{sec:decdigit}), alphanumeric representation (see sec.~\ref{abjad}) or whatever is appropriate (see sec.~\ref{sec:localnumber}). The possibilities are described in turn. \subsection{General localization of numbering}\label{sec:localnumber} As of 1.45,\new{1.45} \pkg{polyglossia} provides a generic macro \Cmd\localnumeral\ which converts numbers to the current local form (which might be script-specific decimal digit, an alphabetic numbering or something else). For instance in an Arabic environment ¦\localnumeral{42}¦ yields \textarabic{\localnumeral{42}}, whereas in an Hebrew environment, it results in \texthebrew[numerals=hebrew]{\localnumeral{42}} with ¦numerals=hebrew¦, and \texthebrew{\localnumeral{42}} with ¦numerals=arabic¦. Note that, as opposed to the various ¦digits¦ macros (described in sec.~\ref{sec:decdigit}), the argument of \cmd\localnumeral\ must consist of numbers only. For\new{1.45} the conversion of counters, the starred version \Cmd{\localnumeral*} is provided. This takes a counter as argument. For instance in an Arabic environment ¦\localnumeral*{page}¦ yields \textarabic{\localnumeral*{page}}. For scripts with alphanumeric numbering, the variants \Cmd{\Localnumeral} and \Cmd{\Localnumeral*} provide the uppercased versions.\medskip \noindent All these macros provide the following options: \begin{itemize} \item \DescribeMacro{[lang=]}\xpgchoicekey{lang}{\xpgpresetvalue{local}, \xpgvalue{main}, or \xpgvalue{\meta{language}}} Output number in the local form of the currently active language for ¦local¦, the main language of the document for ¦main¦, and any (loaded) language for \meta{language} (\eg ¦\localnumeral[lang=arabic]{42}}¦). \end{itemize} \subsection{Non-Western decimal digits}\label{sec:decdigit} In addition\new{1.1.1} to the generic macros described above, \pkg{polyglossia} provides language-specific conversion macros which can be used if the generic ones do not suit the need.\footnote{% A third method are so-called TECKit fontmappings. Those can be activated with the \pkg{fontspec} ¦Mapping¦ option, using ¦arabicdigits¦, ¦farsidigits¦ or ¦thaidigits¦. For instance if \cmd\arabicfont\ is defined with the option ¦Mapping=arabicdigits¦, typing \cmd{\textarabic\{2010\}} results in \textarabic{٢٠١٠}. Note that this method has some drawbacks, though, for instance when the value of a counter has to be written and read from auxiliary files. So please use this with care.} The macros have the form \cmd{\⟨script⟩digits}. They convert Arabic numerical input and leave every other input untouched. In an Arabic context, for instance, ¦\arabicdigits{9182/738543-X}¦ yields \textarabic{\arabicdigits{9182/738543-X}}. Currently, the following macros are provided: \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\arabicdigits \item \Cmd\bengalidigits \item \Cmd\devanagaridigits \item \Cmd\farsidigits \item \Cmd\kannadadigits \item \Cmd\khmerdigits \item \Cmd\laodigits \item \Cmd\nkodigits \item \Cmd\thaidigits \item \Cmd\tibetandigits \end{itemize} \subsection{Non-Latin alphabetic numbering}\label{abjad} For languages which use special (non-Latin) alphanumerical notation\footnote{% For instance, see \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals}, \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjad_numerals}, \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_numerals}, and \url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syriac_alphabet}.}, dedicated macros are provided. They work in a similar way than the \cmd{\⟨script⟩digits} macros described above: They take Arabic numerical input and output the respective value in the local alphabetic numbering scheme (most of these macros are equivalent to \cmd\localnumeral\ and \cmd\Localnumeral\ in the respective context). The following macros are provided: \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\abjad outputs Arabic \textit{abjad} numbers according to the Mashriq varieties. Example: ¦\abjad{1863}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjad{1863}}. \item \Cmd\abjadmaghribi outputs Arabic \textit{abjad} numbers according to the Maghrib varieties. Example: ¦\abjadmaghribi{1863}¦ yields \textarabic{\abjadmaghribi{1863}}. \item \Cmd\abjadsyriac outputs Syriac abjad numerals.\footnote{% A fine guide to numerals in Syriac can be found at \link{http://www.garzo.co.uk/documents/syriac-numerals.pdf}.}\\ Example: ¦\abjadsyriac{463}¦ yields \textsyriac{\abjadsyriac{463}}. \item \Cmd\armeniannumeral produces Armenian alphabetic numbering. Example: ¦\armeniannumeral{1863}¦ yields \textarmenian{\armeniannumeral{1863}}. \item \Cmd\belarusiannumeral produces Belarusian numbering, with uppercased variant (for alphanumerical variant) via \Cmd\Belarusiannumeral. Depending on the ¦numerals¦ option in the Belarusian language selection, this is either Arabic digit or Cyrillic alphanumercial output.\\ Example: With ¦numerals=latin¦ ¦\belarusiannumeral{19}¦ yields \textrussian{\russiannumeral{19}}, with ¦numerals=cyrillic-trad¦ ¦\belarusiannumeral{19}¦ results in \textrussian[numerals=cyrillic-trad]{\russiannumeral{19}},\\ with ¦numerals=cyrillic-alph¦ ¦\belarusiannumeral{19}¦ results in \textrussian[numerals=cyrillic-alph]{\russiannumeral{19}}. \item \Cmd\georgiannumeral produces Georgian alphabetic numbering.\\ Example: ¦\georgiannumeral{1863}¦ yields \textgeorgian{\georgiannumeral{1863}}. \item \Cmd\greeknumeral produces Greek alphabetic numbering, \Cmd\Greeknumeral outputs uppercased variants. Example: ¦\greeknumeral{1863}¦ yields \textgreek{\greeknumeral{1863}}, ¦\Greeknumeral{1863}¦ results in \textgreek{\Greeknumeral{1863}}. \item \Cmd\hebrewnumeral, \Cmd\Hebrewnumeral and \Cmd\Hebrewnumeralfinal generate variants of Hebrew alphanumeric numerals. The commands behave exactly as they do in \pkg{babel}: \cmd\hebrewnumeral\ outputs the numbers without any decoration, \cmd\Hebrewnumeral\ adds \textit{gereshayim} before the last letter, \cmd\Hebrewnumeralfinal\ uses in addition the final forms of Hebrew letters. Examples: ¦\hebrewnumeral{1750}¦ yields \texthebrew{\hebrewnumeral{1750}}, ¦\Hebrewnumeral{1750}¦ yields \texthebrew{\Hebrewnumeral{1750}}, and ¦\Hebrewnumeralfinal{1750}¦ yields \texthebrew{\Hebrewnumeralfinal{1750}}. \item \Cmd\mongoliannumeral produces Mongolian numbering, with uppercased variant (for alphanumerical variant) via \Cmd\Mongoliannumeral.

Consequently, the footnote rule also is to be placed right. Things get more tricky, though, if right-to-left and left-to-right scripts are mixed. Then you might want to put the footnotes on some pages left, on some right, or even mix positions on a page. Thus, footnote handling in right-to-left context sometimes needs manual intervention. This is described in what follows. \subsection{Horizontal footnote position} When right-to-left languages are used, the \cmd\footnote\ command becomes sensitive to the text directionality. The footnote is always placed on the side that is currently the origin of direction: on the left side of the page in LTR paragraphs and on the right in RTL paragraphs. For cases where this is not desired, two additional footnote commands are provided: \Cmd\RTLfootnote and \Cmd\LTRfootnote. \cmd\LTRfootnote\ always places the footnote on the left side, notwithstanding the current directionality. Likewise, \cmd\RTLfootnote\ always places it on the right side. Like \cmd\footnote, \cmd\RTLfootnote\ and \cmd\LTRfootnote\ provide an optional argument to customize the number. \subsection{Footnote rule length and position} The default placement of the footnote rule differs in \XeTeX\ and \LuaTeX\ output (this is due to differences in the \textsf{bidi} and \textsf{luabidi} packages). With \XeTeX, footnote rules are always placed left, which is often wrong in RTL context. With \LuaTeX, by contrast, the rule is placed always right if the main language is a right-to-left language, and always left if the main language is a left-to-right language, which is the right thing in many cases. In both cases, you can change the default behavior as follows: \begin{itemize} \item Put \Cmd\leftfootnoterule in the preamble to have all rules left-aligned. \item Put \Cmd\rightfootnoterule in the preamble to have all rules right-aligned. \item Put \Cmd\autofootnoterule in the preamble to have automatic placement depending on the context (see below for elaboration). \item Put \Cmd\textwidthfootnoterule in the preamble to have a rule that spans the whole text width. \end{itemize} With \cmd\autofootnoterule, the first footnote on the current page determines the placement. Note that this automatic can fail with footnotes at page boundaries that differ in directionality from the first footnote on the page. You can work around such cases by switching to \cmd\rightfootnoterule\ or \cmd\leftfootnoterule\ on these pages. Note also that the rule switches might interfere in bad ways with packages or classes that redefine footnotes themselves. This is also the reason why \cmd\autofootnoterule\ is not used by default. \section{Calendars} \subsection{Hebrew calendar (hebrewcal.sty)} The package \file{hebrewcal.sty} is almost a verbatim copy of \file{hebcal.sty} that comes with \pkg{babel}. The command \Cmd\Hebrewtoday\ formats the current date in the Hebrew calendar (depending of the current writing direction this will automatically set either in Hebrew script or in roman transliteration). \subsection{Islamic calendar (hijrical.sty)} This package computes dates in the lunar Islamic (Hijra) calendar.\footnote{ % It makes use of the arithmetical algorithm in chapter 6 of Reingold \& Gershowitz, \textit{Calendrical calculation: the Millenium edition} (Cambridge University Press, 2001).\label{reingold}} It provides two macros for the end-user. The command \displaycmd{\HijriFromGregorian\marg{year}\marg{month}\marg{day}}{\HijriFromGregorian} sets the counters ¦Hijriday¦, ¦Hijrimonth¦ and ¦Hijriyear¦. \Cmd\Hijritoday\ formats the Hijri date for the current day. This command is now locale-aware\new{1.1.1}: its output will differ depending on the currently active language. Presently \pkg{polyglossia}’s language definition files for Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Turkish and Malay provide a localized version of \cmd\Hijritoday. If the formatting macro for the current language is undefined, the Hijri date will be formatted in Arabic or in roman transliteration, depending of the current writing direction. You can define a new format or redefine one with the command \displaycmd{\DefineHijriDateFormat\marg{lang}\marg{code}.}{\DefineHijriDateFormat} The command \cmd\Hijritoday\ also accepts an optional argument to add or subtract a correction (in days) to the date computed by the arithmetical algorithm.\footnote{ % The Islamic calendar is indeed a purely lunar calendar based on the observation of the first visibility of the lunar crescent at the beginning of the lunar month, so there can be differences between different localities, as well as between civil and religious authorities.} For instance if \cmd\Hijritoday\ yields the date “7 Rajab 1429” (which is the date that was displayed on the front page of \href{http://www.aljazeera.net}{aljazeera.net} on 11th July 2008), ¦\Hijritoday[1]¦ would rather print “8 Rajab 1429” (the date indicated the same day on the site \href{http://www.gulfnews.com}{gulfnews.com}). \subsection{Farsi (jalālī) calendar (farsical.sty)} This package is an almost verbatim copy of ¦Arabiftoday.sty¦ (in the \pkg{Arabi} package), itself a slight modification of ¦ftoday.sty¦ in Farsi\TeX.\footnote{ % One day we may rewrite \pkg{farsical} from scratch using the algorithm in Reingold \& Gershowitz (ref.~n.\,\ref{reingold}).} Here we have renamed the command \cmd\ftoday\ to \Cmd\Jalalitoday. Example: today is \Jalalitoday. \section{Auxiliary commands} The macro \displaycmd{\charifavailable\marg{char code}\marg{substitution}}{\charifavailable}\new{1.47} checks whether the character with the specified \meta{char code} (\ie unicode utf-16 code without preceding ¦0x¦) exists in the current font. If so, the character is printed, if not, the \meta{substitution} is printed. Example: ¦\charifavailable{1E9E}{SS}¦ prints the capital version of the German letter ⟨ß⟩ if available (\ie \charifavailable{1E9E}{SS}), else it prints the substitution digraph SS. \section{Accessing language information} The following is specifically relevant to package authors who need information about the languages in use. In order to get such information, \pkg{polyglossia} provides the following macros: \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd\languagename\ stores the currently active (polyglossia) language name. \item \Cmd\mainlanguagename\ stores the (polyglossia) language name of the main document language. \item \Cmd\languagevariant\ stores the language variant if set. The macro is empty if no variant has been set. \item \Cmd\mainlanguagevariant\ stores the language variant of the main document language if set. The macro is empty if no variant has been set. \item \Cmd\babelname\ stores the corresponding name of the currently active language (variant) in \pkg{babel}. This might not only be useful if you want to support both \pkg{babel} and \pkg{polyglossia}, but also since this name is unique for a given language variety (\eg ngerman, german, swissgerman etc.). Note that this macro is also defined for languages that are not supported in \pkg{babel}. In that case, they are equal to the polyglossia language name. \item \Cmd\mainbabelname\ analogously stores the name of document's main language (variant) in \pkg{babel}. \item \Cmd{\languageid\marg{type}}\new{1.47} stores the identifier tag of the current language. Currently supported \meta{types}: \begin{itemize} \item ¦bcp-47¦ (alias ¦bcp47¦): IETF BCP-47 language identifier \end{itemize} \item \Cmd{\mainlanguageid\marg{type}}\new{1.47} stores identifier tag of the main language. Currently supported \meta{types}: see \cmd\languageid. \end{itemize} \bigskip \noindent If you want to have a full list of loaded languages/variants, use the following macros: \begin{itemize} \item \Cmd{\xpg@loaded}\ stores a comma-separated list of all loaded languages (polyglossia name) \item \Cmd{\xpg@vloaded}\ stores a comma-separated list of all loaded variants \item \Cmd{\xpg@bloaded}\ stores a comma-separated list of \pkg{babel} names of all language variants \item \Cmd{\xpg@bcp@loaded}\new{1.47}\ stores a comma-separated list of the BCP-47 IDs of all language variants \end{itemize} \bigskip \noindent Whether a language is loaded can be tested by \displaycmd{\iflanguageloaded\marg{lang}\marg{true}\marg{false}}{\iflanguageloaded} where \texttt{\meta{lang}} is a \pkg{polyglossia} language name, by \displaycmd{\ifbabellanguageloaded\marg{lang}\marg{true}\marg{false}}{\ifbabellanguageloaded} where \texttt{\meta{lang}} is a \pkg{babel} language name (see table~\ref{tab:bbllang} on p.~\pageref{tab:bbllang}), or by \displaycmd{\iflanguageidloaded\marg{type}\marg{id}\marg{true}\marg{false}}{\iflanguageidloaded}\new{1.47} where \meta{type} is a supported language id type (such as ¦bcp-47¦) and \meta{id} is a language id (such as ¦en-US¦; see table~\ref{tab:BCP47-polyglossia} on p.~\pageref{tab:BCP47-polyglossia}). \bigskip \noindent Finally, if you want to know whether a specific language option has been set, you can use \displaycmd{\iflanguageoption\marg{lang}\marg{opt. key}\marg{opt. value}\marg{true}\marg{false}}{\iflanguageoption}\new{1.47} \section{Revision history} \bgroup\footnotesize \subsection*{1.53 (12-04-2021)} \subsubsection*{New features} \begin{itemize} \item New option \xpgoption{localalph} for Croatian (\TXI{486}). \item Use ordinals in part and chapter headings.

I take this opportunity to thank the following individuals, whose splendid work has made my task almost trivial in comparision: \TA{Johannes Braams} and the numerous contributors to the \pkg{babel} package (in particular \TA{Boris Lavva} and others for its Hebrew support), \TA{Alexej Kryukov} (\pkg{antomega}), \TA{Will Robertson} (\pkg{fontspec}), \TA{Apostolos Syropoulos} (\pkg{xgreek}), \TA{Youssef Jabri} (\pkg{arabi}), and \TA{Vafa Khalighi} (\pkg{xepersian} and \pkg{bidi}). The work of \TA{Mojca Miklavec} and \TA{Arthur Reutenauer} on hyphenation patterns with their package \pkg{hyph-utf8} is of course invaluable. I should also thank other individuals for their assistance in supporting specific languages: \TA{Yves Codet} (Sanskrit), \TA{Zdenĕk Wagner} (Hindi), \TA{Mikhal Oren} (Hebrew), \TA{Sergey Astanin} (Russian), \TA{Khaled Hosny} (Arabic), \TA{Sertaç Ö. Yıldız} (Turkish), \TA{Kamal Abdali} (Urdu), and several other members of the \XeTeX\ user community, notably \TA{Enrico Gregorio}, who has sent me many useful suggestions and corrections and contributed the \cmd\newXeTeXintercharclass\ mechanism in xelatex.ini which is now used by polyglossia. More recently, \TA{Kevin Godby} of the \href{http://ubuntu-manual.org}{Ubuntu Manual} project has contributed very useful feedback, bug hunting and, with the help of translators, new language definition files for Asturian, Lithuanian, Occitan, Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu. It is particularly heartening to realize that this package is used to typeset a widely-read document in dozens of different languages! Support for Lao was also added thanks to \TA{Brian Wilson}. I also thank \TA{Alan Munn} for kindly proof-reading the penultimate version of this documentation. And of course my gratitude also goes to \TA{Jonathan Kew}, the formidable author of \XeTeX! \section{More acknowledgements (by the current development team)} Many thanks to all the people who have contributed bugfixes and new features to \pkg{polyglossia} since we took over.
