Yes - so let's provide a code for it. We can also discuss this informally in Brussels in a few days. Ken Whistler stated a couple of years ago that there are more users of Klingon than Navajo - mainly in Latin script, I've noticed in bookshops. I don't thing that invented languages need any greater criteria than any other languages, Does my meomory serve me ill, or is there now an ISO 639-2 code for Lojban? And there a re also no native speakers of Esperanto, though nobody would dispute that it should have a code.
