Modul:family tree/etymology languages/doc

Creates a version of Module:etymology languages/data in which there is just one code per language. Codes that have the same language data are reduced to the most language-codiest one. For instance, Austrian German has three codes (Austrian German, AG., de-AT) by which it can be accessed in etymology templates like {{cog}}. de-AT is chosen as the only language code for Austrian German because it looks the most like a language code.

The following criteria are used successively to weed out candidates for language-codiest code:

1. The code must consist of letters and hyphens.
2. The code must not contain an uppercase letter followed by a lowercase letter.
3. The code must be as short as possible.
