I
guess we should have a formal ballot. But then we need to know what to
ballot:
bej :
currently in ISO 639-2:
English name: Beja
French
name: bedja
The new English forms will be Bedawiyet;
Beja
What
will be the French forms?
ile / ie
:
currently in ISO 639-1 and 639-2:
English name:
Interlingue
French
name: interlingue
New
English forms: Interlingue; Occitan
New
French forms?
And
how do we indicate the reationship (or lack thereof) with oci /
oc ("Occitan (post 1500); Proven�al")?

Hello All,
Only Peter has commented regarding the changes involved
in additional names for two code elements in both 639-2 and 639-3:
Affected language identifier:
| bej
|
|
| Change type:
| Update
|
| Change attribute:
| The proposed change is a change in Language Name,
either adding a name, deleting a name and/or changing the reference
name
|
| Old value:
| Bedawi
|
| New value:
| Bedawiyet;
Beja |
|
Affected language identifier:
| ile
|
|
| Change type:
| Update
|
| Change attribute:
| The proposed change is a change in Language Name,
either adding a name, deleting a name and/or changing the reference
name
|
| Old value:
| Interlingue
|
| New value:
| Interlingue; Occidental (in this case, there had
been a separate identifier for Occidental, which was merged into
this upon the determination that they are really referring to the
same constructed language, commonly using different names in
different stages of its
development) |
|
If a ballot is needed for these, would you please issue
one H�vard?

Thanks for the report. I�ve commented on
Catalan/Valencian in a separate thread. I�ll comment on other changes
here:
-
2 additional names for entries in Parts 2 and 3: I see no particular
problem with accepting these.
-
14 �retirements� in Part 3: My only concern is that
documentation gets added for each deprecated entry referring users to the entry
into which it has been merged.
-
8 splits to items in Part 3: Can I assume your intent
is that the existing items all take on scope of macrolanguage and get mappings
to the new encompassed elements? (Out of curiousity, do we end up with any
two-level macrolanguage-mapping hierarchies as a result � i.e. a macrolanguage
that has a mappings to another encompassed macrolangauge?)
- 50 new entries for Part
3: My only concern is that care is taken to deal with any macrolanguage mappings
that may be need to be added.
-
49 name changes in Part 3: I see no particular
problem with accepting these.

First round of changes for ISO 639-3 review period over
Hello All,
The first round of change requests for
ISO 639-3 underwent review from April 1 - June 30. As expected, not many
received any comments, though the Valencian request received 43 comments alone
(5 other change requests received one comment each), about 1/4 opposed and 4/5
in favor (including a form letter sent in by 9 people).
I am
attaching a document that is my report on the changes, with summaries and
recommendations. Three code elements affected are in both Part 2 and Part 3. The
changes to these are summarized first in the report. The rest of the report
contains summaries of all other changes (those affecting only Part
3).
Obviously action on the three code elements in both parts will
require agreement of the JAC. In addition, though, I would appreciate a review
of the other proposed changes, as it is just possible that one or more of them
might have some effect on Part 2 that I had not foreseen.
To see the
actual change request documentation, use this pattern for the link:
http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/chg_detail.asp?id=2006-129
where the
parameter at the end is the change request number.
In order
to minimize delay in posting the results of the requests (at least for those
only pertaining to part 3), I would appreciate a response by July 18th, if
possible. Debate on the Valencian - Catalan matter may take longer, of course.
For more on that matter, please see my message dated 13 Apr 2007.
Thanks,
Joan Spanne
