This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.
Interface Languages gathers the twelve languages the atlas itself can be read in, a grouping about the site's own reach rather than about scripture, though several of its members carry a scriptural history of their own.
English is both the interface's source language and the language most of the world's major scriptures and esoteric literature have been translated into at least once, while also carrying original composition of its own, from the Book of Common Prayer to the founding texts of modern Wicca and Theosophy. Arabic sits on the list as the living, spoken and written register distinct from Classical Arabic, the fixed literary language of the Quran the atlas catalogues separately, though the line between the two is one of register more than a sharp break, since Modern Standard Arabic descends directly from it and still serves Quranic recitation and Friday sermons. Spanish is offered for readership rather than as a language of scriptural composition, yet it has been the liturgical language of the Roman Catholic mass across Spain and Latin America since the Second Vatican Council's vernacular reforms, and it carries the devotional writing of mystics such as Teresa of Avila.
For most of the remaining nine, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian, the entry exists chiefly so a reader can browse the atlas in that language, reflecting the size of a global readership rather than a special place in any one tradition's textual history.
