[edit] Collective languages

The ISO 639-2 code "art" for artificial languages is also a collective code, isn't it? HTH --surueña 10:40, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is. ISO 639-2 actually has far more than eleven collective codes. For example, roa refers to Romance language (other). — Gareth Hughes 12:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Adoption

would like to write about ISO 639 three letter adoption.

Lots of people use nonconforming codes. Even when they try to adopt ISO codes, they make up codes like pob[1] for Brazilian Portuguese, which is just a dialect. (Of course, so are the variants of Serbocroatian that get their own language codes for purely political reasons.) Many, many people don't even know the difference between a language and a country and use country codes. The horror. And don't even try to evangelize them, it's useless.--87.162.30.226 06:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
