Dear ISO 639 RAs-JAC members,
As you will realize, ISO 639-2 and ISO
639-5 have a number of items in common. During the elaboration of ISO 639-5 it
became evident that 639-2 names like “Afro-Asiatic (other)” in
English and “afro-asiatiques, autres langues” in French needed to
be modified, and ISO 639-5 uses “Afro-Asiatic languages” and “afro-asiatiques,
langues” respectively.
The intention of this message is to
formalize the name change process for the purpose of ISO 639-2, making it in
effect an implementation issue whether “afa” means the entire group
or those items within the group that don’t have individual language identifiers
in the subset in question (which for the time being in effect means ISO 639-2).
If you feel you need a specific discussion
relating to any individual items, please make a comment to that effect. All
items that haven’t been singled out for individual processing, will be
changed in one ballot following this initial process.
The list below contains items in ISO 639-5
that are also included in ISO 639-2, but that currently have different names in
the tables of the two parts. In most, but not all, cases this applies to both
English and French names.
Please comment (within 25 November) on the table
below by identifying any items that may need special consideration.
