Re: [Ietf-languages] Language subtag registration form

[Leon Derczynski <[e-mail]>]

I believe this discussion was initiated by Michael Everson in July in order to bound/count Danish dialects, but nothing ever came back to the list. How much time should be given for that investigation? It's not clear to me that Synnejyll's validity is directly predicated on its outcome.

I guess it would be helpful to know if that discussion yielded any useful information, or whether it stalled.

Hi,

What is required to advance the progress of this (I think stalled) subtag registration?

Leon

[apologies for thread break]

>> Why is a subtag requested for just one?

Most Danish dialects use standard Danish orthography and lexical items. Some, e.g. Bornholmsk and Sønderjysk, exhibit markedly greater variation, the latter's major differences being described in the registration form, which are an order of magnitude greater than the difference between e.g. Fynsk and Djursk - especially in the written form. Of course the distinctions in DK between dialect, language, and what entails significant variation remain as political and blurred as one would generally expect. Personally, I don't have the resources to register & justify all these variants - just the ones that I know best and see the greatest need for describing the variation in.

If so, might I recommend Peter Juel Henrichsen? https://dsn.dk/om-os/medarbejdere/peter-juel-henrichsen-2

Dear Doug,

Thanks for helping clear this form up - useful info to know. Yes, if that can be done in a second Description field, that's definitely a great idea.

Sincerely,


Leon

Hi Leon,

I will post an update of this form to remove the Suppress-Script and Macrolanguage fields, which are not properties of a variant subtag. Everything else looks fine to me from a clerical standpoint.

Since your first line, even before the form started, was “For variant: South Jutish”, do you think it would make sense to add South Jutish as a second Description field?

For variant: South Jutish

LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM
   1. Name of requester: Leon Strømberg-Derczynski
   2. E-mail address of requester: mailto:[e-mail]
   3. Record Requested:

      Type: variant
      Subtag: synnejyl
      Description: Synnejysk
      Prefix: da
      Preferred-Value:
      Deprecated:
      Suppress-Script: Latn
      Macrolanguage: da
      Comments:

   4. Intended meaning of the subtag:
     The South Jutish / South Jutlandic dialect, spoken in southern Denmark
     and northern Germany, particularly in the region of Schleswig which
     crossess current borders, has distinct pronunciation, orthography,
     and lexical items when compare to Danish or German.. Also known as
     Synnejysk, Sønderjysk, Südjütisch, or Plattdänisch.

   5. Reference to published description of the language (book or article):
      There is an established literature on the language; the Wikipedia
      page provides a good jumping-off point -
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Jutlandic
      A TV series from the national broadcaster giving instructions in the dialect:
        https://www.dr.dk/drtv/serie/soenderjysk-for-begyndere_184900
      A union about the culture and dialect, whose site is written in dialect:
        https://synnejysk.dk/
      The Synnejysk region's embassy in Copenhagen:
        https://synnejyskambassade.dk/
      An academic article on the written form of the dialect (December 2019)
        https://jysk.au.dk/fileadmin/www.jysk.au.dk/publikationer/centrets_publikationer/ord___sag_26_-/ordsag39.pdf#page=29

   6. Any other relevant information:
      The subtag "synnejyl" is a shortened form of "synnejyll", an alternative
      name for the dialect. The 8-character truncation of synnejysk, "synnejys"
      is confusing and doesn't convey the intended meaning effectively.
