	The <code>sc</code> parameter is handled by the transliteration module, and how it is handled is specific to that module. Some transliteration modules may tolerate {{code|lua|nil}} as the script, others require it to be one of the possible scripts that the module can transliterate, and will show an error if it's not one of them. For this reason, the <code>sc</code> parameter should always be provided when writing non-language-specific code.

It should not be used in real modules or templates, only for testing. All uses of this parameter are tracked by [[Template:tracking/module_override]].

--[==[Finds the language whose canonical name (the name used to represent that language on Wiktionary) or other name matches the one provided.

Otherwise, it returns {{code|lua|nil}}, unless <code class="n">paramForError</code> is given, in which case an error is generated.
