Manipuri
shouldnt this language name be changed to Meitei-lon, per the articles correct name, even if this is one of the common names for the language? if i dont get a response here, ill take this concern to a project page. i know enough not to just change a template, even an apparently routine change. ive never edited a template, and dont want to cause trouble.

It seems that in the official list
[1], it is called Manipuri. --

ok, that helps. i wont worry about it, and will let others more directly involved or knowledgeable take up any issues here.

Meitei is the preferred name even though not a government name. –

Indo-Aryan
I recommend that this template somehow denote which languages are
Indo-Aryan and which are not.--

But all articles with this template will already have {{
Indo-Aryan languages}}, etc. If we're going to have two sets of templates: one by state and another by family, then I think it makes sense to let them complement each other rather than overlap. One of them is organised along genetic subgroups, the other – according to state/region or official status. –

Solomonfromfinland, I don't think it is necessary to highlight which languages are Indo-Aryan here in this template. It is about the "Official status" of the languages. Other similar templates like
Template:Languages of Finland,
Template:Languages of Russia,
Template:Languages of Sweden, etc do not differentiate between Indo-European, Finno-Ugric and Altaic languages. Secondly, this kind of Indo-Aryan specific formatting might offend non-Indo-Aryan speakers. -

Yeah, bolding adds undue prominence and it also interferes with the way the template displays the name of the article it's transcluded on in bold. –

Uanfala: I believe we should restore it to the old version. What do you say? -
