Names of languages need to be added in the language dropdown
The names of the following languages are missing in the dropdown while adding/editing a title on the contribution page since these names have not yet been added. Because of this, many titles are tagged wrongly under other languages. That's wrong in all levels, and all that is needed is the addition of the language names so that the same appears on the front end for a contributor. Listed below the languages and titles which use entirely the languages mentioned.
- Ho (hoc): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14637834
- Kusunda (kgg): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12728670
- Bonda (bfw): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18233648
- Garhwali (gbm): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14546228"
Interestingly, the language codes do exist in IMDb's backend. Take the example of the Ho language from India. IMDb allows searching movies in this language:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title/?primary_language=hoc
But a contributor cannot add Ho as a language while submitting the details.
We would greatly appreciate adding these distinct and established languages (not dialects). Needless to say, it would be respectful to the native speakers who

Hi @openspeaksproject -
Thanks again for requesting these new language listings, I wanted to provide an update on the issue. We are so sorry it has taken this amount of time to resolve, due to our backlog we don't have the resources to add them at this given time, for this reason we are closing this thread but know that we are still tracking the issue language request and will pick it up when we have the bandwidth to handle it.
