Re: [Ietf-languages] Status update on current requests

1. Variant subtag ‘synnejyl’ (Synnejysk; South Jutish)

Michael suggested contacting Dansk Sprognævn, the regulatory body for Danish, for guidance on this; Leon recommended a specific contact person at Dansk Sprognævn, Peter Juel Henrichsen. I assume these wheels have been set in motion; the request appears to be stagnant without some sort of verdict.

Rejecting for the time being as discussion has begun with experts in Denmark.

I don’t object to this.

> 3. Language subtag ‘inu’ (Inuktun; Avanersuarmiutut; Nordgrønlandsk)

Leon has stated he will make the request to the RA for this language.

Yes.
