## Language.\_\_init\_\_ {#init tag="method"}
Initialize a `Language` object.
Initialize a `Language` object. Note that the `meta` is only used for meta
information in [`Language.meta`](/api/language#meta) and not to configure the
`nlp` object or to override the config. To initialize from a config, use
[`Language.from_config`](/api/language#from_config) instead.
