Re: [Ltru] clear guidance on tagging in cases involving a related macrolanguage

["Broome, Karen" <[e-mail]>]

I think extlang will likely be a cleaner solution to me than what you might offer, but I'm open to that as long as the preferred tagging and associated semantics are clear.

I think de-CH is a problem. I see more problems like this if we move forward extlangless with multiple "preferred" tag choices for the same thing and subjective distinctions. In the face of that, I start to like ISO 639-6.

I *like* hierarchies.

Could you live without extlang provided those conditions were met, or do you think those conditions can't be met without extlang?
