Languages Overview

Schema reference for Languages entities

Languages represent the languages in which scholarly works are written. OpenAlex automatically detects the language of each work.

Filter, sort, and group_by fields

The API supports filtering, sorting, and grouping on languages fields. See Filtering, Sorting, and Grouping for syntax.

Fields marked (deprecated) are .search filters — use the search parameter instead.
