One of the most common ways to display languages is the user language templates available at Babel. These consist of a box with the language's code, a number indicating the level of proficiency, and some accompanying text. Each template has the format user en-4, where 'en' is the code for the language (here English), and '-4' is the level of proficiency (here near-native). Native templates usually omit the number, e.g. user en. A full list of languages and levels is at Babel. The Babel page also contains an extremely easy-to-use template for displaying all your languages in a neat box on the right, an example of which is on this page. The box on the right was generated using userboxtop and userboxbottom, in order to keep this help page out of the user language categories (see below), but it could have been generated simply by adding  to the top of this section.

If this format looks familiar, this is because it has grown to encompass all sorts of abilities, viewpoints and trivia - see Userboxes - but languages were the original usage.

Each language template will also add you to a category of users who speak that language, as well as a subcategory for your proficiency level. For example, user en-4 will add you to Category:User en-4 and Category:User en. If you don't wish to use the language templates, you can still add yourself to those categories by writing somewhere in your page (by convention, usually the bottom). The part is there to put you in the correct place in the category - if omitted, your page will be placed under 'U' for 'User'.
