Maintenance discrepancies There are apparent discrepancies between two ISO 639-related websites, and possibly also with the standard ISO 639-1, which is on the ISO/TC37/SC2/WG1 website. I'd be grateful for accurate comments on the following. 1. The ISO 639-2/RA Change Notice <http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/codechanges.html> ISO 639: Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages lists Additions/Changes to ISO 639 Codes as published in: ISO 639-1: 1988 (Alpha-2 code) ISO 639-2: 1998 (Alpha-3 code) It lists the changes as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 639-1 639-2 Name of Language Date added/changed Category of Change ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ast Asturian 2001-09-24 Add -jaw jv jav Javanese 2001-08-13 CC [Dep: -jaw withdrawn] nds German/Saxon, Low 2000-05-31 Add ae ave Avestan 2000-02-18 Add bs bos Bosnian 2000-02-18 Add ch cha Chamorro 2000-02-18 Add ce che Chechen 2000-02-18 Add cu chu Church Slavic 2000-02-18 Add cv chv Chuvash 2000-02-18 Add hz her Herero 2000-02-18 Add ho hmo Hiri Motu 2000-02-18 Add ki kik Kikuyu 2000-02-18 Add kj kua Kuanyama 2000-02-18 Add kv kom Komi 2000-02-18 Add mh mah Marshall 2000-02-18 Add mnc Manchu 2000-02-18 Add nv nav Navajo 2000-02-18 Add nr nbl Ndebele, South 2000-02-18 Add nd nde Ndebele, North 2000-02-18 Add ng ndo Ndonga 2000-02-18 Add nn nno Norwegian Nynorsk 2000-02-18 Add nb nob Norwegian Bokmål 2000-02-18 Add ny nya Chichewa;Nyanja 2000-02-18 Add; NA oc oci Occitan (1500-) 2000-02-18 NA os oss Ossetian; Ossetic 2000-02-18 Add; NA pi pli Pali 2000-02-18 Add sgn Sign languages 2000-02-18 Add -sh Serbo-Croatian 2000-02-18 Dep [Dep: -sh] se sme Northern Sami 2000-02-18 Add smi Sami languages 2000-02-18 NC sc srd Sardinian 2000-02-18 Add ty tah Tahitian 2000-02-18 Add kw cor Cornish 1998-08 Add gv glv Manx 1998-08 Add lb ltz Letzeburgesch 1998-08 Add -iw he heb Hebrew 1989 CC [Dep: -iw withdrawn] -in id ind Indonesian 1989 CC [Dep: -in withdrawn] iu iku Inuktitut 1989 Add ug uig Uighur 1989 Add -ji yi yid Yiddish 1989 CC [Dep: -ji withdrawn] za zha Zhuang 1989 Add Category of Change Key ---------------------------------------- Code Meaning ---------------------------------------- Add Newly added Dep Deprecated CC Code change NC Name change NA Variant name(s) added 2. However, there are additional changes not noted by the ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee but which are noted in ISO 639-1, Table B.1: Additions from ISO 639:1988 to ISO 639-1:2001, on the ISO/TC37/SC2/WG1 website: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 639-1 639-2 Name of Language Date added/changed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ve Venda Added to ISO 639-1:2001 oj Ojibwa Added to ISO 639-1:2001 lu Luba-Katanga Added to ISO 639-1:2001 lg Luganda; Ganda Added to ISO 639-1:2001 kg Kongo Added to ISO 639-1:2001 ig Igbo Added to ISO 639-1:2001 ff Fulani; Fulfulde Added to ISO 639-1:2001 ee Ewe Added to ISO 639-1:2001 cr Cree Added to ISO 639-1:2001 dv Divehi; Maldivian Added to ISO 639-1:2001 ak Akan Added to ISO 639-1:2001 av Avar; Avarish Added to ISO 639-1:2001 bm Bambara Added to ISO 639-1:2001 ------------------------------------------------------------ I'd be very grateful to know what changes should result to either website, and/or to ISO 639-1.
