Dear Havard Hjulstad and Peter Constable,
My apologies for the late reply; I've been away from my email. Thank
you for giving your attention to this matter.
Truly, the latter drove us to make the request, i.e. software
projects.
We are working with 5 languages: Gong, Gworok (Kagoro), Hyam, Jju (Kaje)
and Tyap (Kataf) and need separate ISO 639 codes for each one; this
became clear to us when we made contact with the developers at GNOME.
Is it possible at this time for you to consider the other 3 languages we
are working with as well? In the event that you can, below is the
latest information I have (in brief) on all 5:
Language [suggested alpha-3] - holding institution(number)):
Gong [gng] - Fantsuam Foundation(30)
Gworok [gwr] - Kagoro Bible Translation Trust(50)
Hyam [jab] - Fantsuam Foundation(50)
Jju [jju] - Fantsuam Foundation(200)
Tyap [tya] - Atyap Bible Translation Trust(100)
Fantsuam Foundation is the recommending institution for all five of the
languages, however joining Fantsuam in lending support for Tyap is the Agwa
Tyap, the traditional ruler of the Atyap people.
I, Uchenna Agbim, am the Project Manager/Coordinator.
Just in case you require a formal application online for the other 3, I
have just made the necessary submissions at the ISO 639-2 site. My
apologies for any typos I may have made in my rush to submit.
Thanks in advance,
Uchenna
Dear

New ISO 639 proposal: Hyam - Discussion (until
2005-01-14)
Havard:
Could you please ask the submitters of
the Hyam and Gong requests for
clarification as to whether they are wanting
alpha-3 identifiers for
documentation purposes (e.g. for use by libraries
or in Web content), or
whether they are needing it for use with
internationalization infrastructure
in their software
projects?
