What are the guidelines and expert opinions re getting ISO-639 codes for an
engineered standard version of a set of very closely related tongues? A
prime example is Runyakitara in western Uganda.
What sort of provisions will the evolving ISO-639 system have for cases
where language planning (called by one source a resurgent field) leads to
active steps to develop such standard language versions for use in
education, ICT, etc. ?
More info on Runyakitara with some links is at
http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/PanAfrLoc/Runyakitara (this is
a wiki page the password for editing is Africa ). This is one of a number
of languages (or clusters) for which information for localization is being
gathered at
http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/PanAfrLoc/MajorLanguages .
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
