I'm not sure what to say about this. It is not the specific Luyia language, yet a group of languages/dialects of which the latter is part. It might be the kind of thing that ISO-639-5 provides a listing for; it might be something I need to learn more about from the point of view of potential localisation strategies. But it also has me wondering about criteria for articles 1 notch above the "language" level - these are often necessary, but not always. In any event, the very generic ISO-639-2 code of bnt seems of limited use in this context (go far enough up the genetic classification and of course you end up with a generic code).

I removed the "ke" that was listed in the ISO-639-1 position, as I could not find such a code at http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php --A12n 23:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
