CURRENT SITUATION:
ISO 639 encoding: cau = Caucasian (other)
Linguasphere: 42-BBB-ba = Dargwa
Ethnologue: DAR = Dargwa. There are some 365.000 speakers in Russia and
neighbouring countries.
COMMENTS:
Should be included. Both the proposed identifier (drg) and the Ethnologue
identifier (dar) are available. I suggest that we choose "dar" to harmonize
with Ethnologue.
Best regards,
Håvard Hjulstad
