Site.language returns the site's language, of course. Is there a simple way to get a List<string> or string[] with all language abbreviations of ISO 639 that are used by WMF projects (including projects like simple and zh-min-nan)?
Of course, it's no problem to get such a list by copy&paste from different Wikipedia or Wikimedia sites and include the list into the bot's source code. IMHO it's a better programmatical way to fill the list inside the application by a Site method. Juergen
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
you can find all interwiki codes that are recognized locally, delimited by '|' character.
These include not only the language codes but also tags like "betawikiversity".

Then wouldn't it be better to find relevant items in GetWikimediaProjects()? The following code will do the job:
var langs = (from s in siteObj.GetWikimediaProjects(true)
where Bot.CountMatches(s, ".", false) == 2
select s.Substring(0, s.IndexOf('.'))).Distinct().ToList();

GetWikimediaProjects() was my proposal two contribs ago. Thank you for the full code. (I don't know anything about LINQ and should use a loop instead of.) Juergen
PS. Is there a way to declare a thread finished?

Thank you. Site.generalData["interwiki"] works but it isn't a proper way (like you told). A better way could be
All the different prefixes give a list of used language abbreviations. Juergen
Execuse me, I don't quite understand. What different prefixes must give a list of language abbreviations? What the resultant list should look like?
I mean prefixes like these (as combined string - with colons or without):
The following items of Site.generalData["interwiki"] don't belong to the list of languages:

Maybe like this:
