This template creates cognate lists. Languages are listed in order of relational distance (more closely related languages are listed first) and otherwise in alphabetical order.

== Usage ==

: {{para|1|opt=1}}
:: native language code
::: This will add cognate categories.
: {{para|code|term}}
:: cognate language code and term (inline parameters of {{temp|m+}} apply); <code><nobold:1></code> is automatically added
::: <code><pre:text></code>
:::: prefaces the cognate with text
: {{para|nocap|1}}
:: decapitalises intro text
: {{para|nocat|1}}
:: suppresses categorisation
: {{para|nopre|1}}
:: removes intro text
