Re: Version Skew. As I mentioned more than a month ago on this list, the
Ethnologue online database does not keep pace with ISO 639-3 but (according
to SIL) will be updated prior to publication of the 16th Edition.

Please remember that Ethnologue is not normative in any way.  If you want
information about ISO 639-3 go to the ISO 639-3 site. From there you can
access the linked informative data from Ethnologue whilst at the same time
being assured that the code you are viewing is up to date.
