Final ASCL language record. This is the terminal eight-digit code level in the 2025 Australian Standard Classification of Languages.
About this language code
ASCL language pages are the end point of the hierarchy. They are the most specific record level exposed in the official 2025 structure and should be used when the language has been identified precisely enough for final coding.
If your dataset is less precise, move back to the parent narrow group or sub family page and confirm whether a broader code is more appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
What is ASCL code 17111124?
Lingala is an eight-digit language record in ASCL 2025. It is the terminal code used when the language has been identified to the final record level.
Where would this code be used?
ASCL codes appear in ABS language coding, census-related work and administrative data collections where language needs a standard reference.
Should I use the parent group code instead?
Only if the dataset is less specific than the final language record. If the language is known, the end code is usually the better match.
