 The basic usage is like this:
 
+Using ES module system:
 .. code-block:: js
 
+		import { getAutonym } from '@wikimedia/language-data';
+
+		// Returns English
+		getAutonym( 'en');
+
+Using CommonJS module system:
+.. code-block:: js
 		const languageData = require('@wikimedia/language-data');
 
 		// Returns English
 		languageData.getAutonym( 'en');

 The exposed methods are similar to the methods present in the PHP `LanguageUtil <api/languagedata/languageutil.html>`_ class.
