From: ietf-languages-bounces(_at_)alvestrand(_dot_)no [mailto:ietf-languages-
bounces(_at_)alvestrand(_dot_)no] On Behalf Of John Cowan
The whole question of what is a language, a variant or dialect of a
language, or a suitable substitute for a language, would benefit
some
thought in any tagging scheme, though I agree the problem is not
generally soluble.
See the editor's draft of ISO 639-3 at http://tinyurl.com/6kky2 ...
I would say that all of clause 4.2 is relevant; in addition to 4.2.1, I
would especially include 4.2.2, in relation to which I have presented
ideas that led to the inclusion of the Extensions subtag in the proposed
draft. (I originally thought of it as a way to capture some existing
registered tags as part of a consistent scheme rather than merely as
ad-hoc tags, but I think it may be more generally useful as well for
dealing with some of the issues regarding different perceptions of what
is a language.) I'm afraid I don't have time at the moment to elaborate
further.
