Asked [10 years ago](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/listing-available-analyzers-via-api/16472/3). The "command" or "index" or whatever it was, "sgen", either appears no longer to exist, or no longer to work that way.

I'm doing a project where users should be able to stipulate "set of such and such languages" in a list in a config file. At the moment this just fails when you try to `PUT` the mappings (and the error message states at least one language having caused the error, i.e. because there is no off-the-shelf analyzer for "klingon" or whatever...).

If there is no way to obtain a neat list, can someone think of a command which can be submitted for each individual language string? I.e. returning a response saying "works!" or "not yet" (e.g. for Klingon)?

NB before submitting this question I did just double-check at the list of languages to ensure that Klingon is NOT in fact currently available. It's only a matter of time obviously.

The API used in that old post is the [get index settings API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-get-settings.html), which in the example was used to list the full settings for the `sgen` index.

This naturally only lists the analysers that have been configured for a specific index. As far as I know there is no API that list all available/possible analysers. You can after all craete your own as well as add new ones through plugins.
