Additional information was requested and received. This information has been
circulated to the JAC on 2002-10-22.
There has been some discussion as to the inclusion in the alpha-2 code
table. Information received indicates that the degree of "official status"
and ongoing lexicography and terminology work supports the inclusion in the
alpha-2 code table.
Identifiers:
The original alpha-2 proposal is "an". That is available.
The Ethnologue identifier is "AXX", which is also indicated by one of the
proposers; another proposed identifier (in the other submitted proposal) is
"arg". Both these are available in ISO 639-2. However, "ARG" is used for a
different language in Ethnologue, and we may wish to avoid new conflicts
with Ethnologue. All "sensible" alpha-3 combinations starting with AR, AA,
AG, AO, AN, AE, AS are taken in Ethnologue. For that reason I propose "axx".
