Martin Duerst scripsit: > I'm sure you have done so somewhere already, but for everybody > to see, could you (pointer is okay) provide a list of the > macrolanguages that would be handled by extlangs? Note that it's the "microlanguages" (not an official term), the languages encompassed by macrolanguages, that are handled by extlang subtags. http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/macrolanguages.asp is the core list of macrolanguage mappings. For our purposes, the macrolanguages Akan (Fat, Twi), Norwegian (Bokmal, Nynorsk), and Serbo-Croatian (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian) are out of the case, because the "microlanguages" already have primary language subtags. (Mark has mentioned the Norwegian and Serbo-Croatian cases as ones that one needs to handle specially even under an extlang regime.) In addition to these, "sgn" is treated as a macrolanguage encompassing all sign languages. A list of these can be found at http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90008 (the Deaf ones) and http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90503 (the others). > (and maybe also those that wouldn't). That would be all the existing languages of 639-2, plus all the languages of 639-3 that do *not* appear on the right side of the above-referenced table. > Also, is your proposal above the same thing as what's in the > current draft, or would the draft need tweaking? I understand it to be the same. -- There are three kinds of people in the world: John Cowan those who can count, cowan@ccil.org and those who can't. _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
