A Schema.org Property

*This term is in the "new" area - implementation feedback and adoption from applications and websites can help improve our definitions.*

Of a [Person](https://schema.org/Person), and less typically of an [Organization](https://schema.org/Organization), to indicate a known language. We do not distinguish skill levels or reading/writing/speaking/signing here. Use language codes from the [IETF BCP 47 standard](http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47).
