CURRENT SITUATION:

ISO 639 encoding: fiu = Finno-Ugric (other)

Linguasphere: 41-AAE-ac = Udmurt

Ethnologue: UDM = Udmurt. Some 550.000 speakers in the Udmurtia region in
Russia.


COMMENT:

To me this seems like a quite straight-forward issue. The proposed
identifier (udm) is identical with the Ethnologue identifier, and it is
available.
