Dear JAC members,

The request below is actually for adding an alpha-2 identifier (ISO 639-1) to an item which already has an alpha-3 identifier in ISO 639-2. The Malayo-Polynesian language Palauan has had the identifier pau since publication of ISO 639-2 in 1998.

The reason for requesting an alpha-2 identifier is that the language has official status in Palau.

The requested alpha-2 identifier (pu) is available.

Discussion please (until 2005-12-02).

Best regards,
H�vard Hjulstad
(secretary ISO 639 RA-JAC)
