Registration forms for archival (long)

Tue Jul 24 16:34:22 CEST 2007

Here are the registration forms I propose to be archived at the IANA 
site, for those variants that have been added or modified since the 
October 2005 launch of the Language Subtag Registry and do not already 
have an archived registration form.  The form for 'baku1926' is patched 
together to reflect both the original request and the subsequent change 
to the Comments field.

Because of the large volume of material here and the non-urgent nature 
of archival, I suggest an exceptional two-week review period for these 
forms, after which we will submit them to IANA.

As a reminder, these forms should be reflective of the decision-making 
process at the time these variants were proposed and approved.

If you have comments or corrections to any of these forms, please change 
the Subject line of your e-mail to indicate which form is being 
discussed.

Turkic Alphabet; Birl&#x4D9;&#x15F;dirilmi&#x15F; Jeni Tyrk
&#x4D8;lifbas&#x44C;; Ja&#x14B;alif.

   4. Intended meaning of the subtag:   It refers to the alphabet whose
main principles were decided on at the Turkological Conference in 1926
in Baku, Azerbaijan, and whose implementation details were decided on at
the NTA Committee plena of 1927 in Azerbaijan, and of 1928 in Uzbekistan
and Tatarstan. It should be particularly useful in historical, and
academic discourse, and
possibly for republications of publications from late 1920s and 1930s,
or for those original publications themselves.

The above resource is in the Russian language and is also cited at the
Wikipedia article, "Uniform Turkic Alphabet" (which is, in turn, cited

    6. Any other relevant information: As one article from 1936 puts it,
Soviet alphabet unification did not aim at having a single alphabet for
all Turkic regions, but rather a unified core, with additions of letters
when needed. In reality, some unifiable letters were denoted differently
in some languages, and some unified letters in some alphabets were not
in the spirit of unification. On a side note, orthography based on this
alphabet was actually less unified than Arabic orthography (especially
standard one used for centuries before early 1920s). Latinization policy
in late 1920s, and 1930s was also applied to non-Turkic languages, but
they weren't characterized by the same unified core alphabet as Turkic
languages were. For instance, letter c was used to denote English ch in
the Latin-based Turkic alphabets of 1930s, but it was used for ts,
with &#x00E7; used for ch, in some non-Turkic alphabets.

   Subtag: boont
   Description: Boontling

English
5. Reference to published description
   of the language (book or article):

Adams, Charles C.  _Boontling: An American Lingo, with a Dictionary of
Boontling.  University of Texas Press, 1971
6. Any other relevant information:

Boontling is the name given by its speakers to a deliberately contrived
jargon which was spoken extensively between 1880 and 1920 in the upper
Anderson Valley of Mendocino County, California. This name, an 
abbreviated,
self-explaining compound, is itself a typical word in the jargon. 
"Boont"
is the local term for Boonville, the largest town in the valley and
traditionally the service center of the upper portion of the area; 
"ling"
is abbreviated from "lingo". Boontling, then, is the lingo of Boonville.

At the zenith of its development, Boontling contained a basic vocabulary 
of
more than 1000 words and phrases, and nearly 3000 specialized names for
inhabitants of the area and for local geographical features.  It was 
spoken
and/or understood by most of the approximately 500 people in the rural
community. Three differing accounts of its origins are given by 
informants;
all three agree that it originated as a secret language, but then 
spread,
perhaps via public school, to the general populace. A conscious effort 
was
made to coin additional words.

Boontling is still studied today, both as an unusual linguistic 
phenomenon,
and by local valley residents who wish to know more of their heritage.

Registration of this variant will cause the existing grandfathered
tag "en-boont" to be changed to a redundant tag.
