Valencian Language Tag registration request

[Lang Gérard]

Maybe the principal question is what are the entries to be registered and coded inside ISO 639.
And, for me, the answer is clearly given by the title of the ISO 639 series that is "Code for the representation of NAMES of languages".
So that the coded entries of ISO 639 should be NAMES of LANGUAGES (ideally the language's autonym, that is the name given by the considered named language inside this considered language; so that there should ideally be only one language name for every entry of ISO 639, because this entry is exactly this name that is being coded). So that ISO 639 should not be taken as coding directly languages (objects whose definition is clearly questionable and does not seem to be unanimously adopted), and should naturally choosee code elements having direct links with the coded language name, as this has been quasi-systematically the case in ISO 639 history..

	That is a perfectly valid reason for your request, Victor, which worked for Bosnian, although only after many lives had been destroyed, which "justification" is not one to be wished on any country, so please bear in mind that such decisions are sometimes based on reasoned argument, sometimes on political bias and that being mocked in public, as you were today, is part of the price you pay for just asking in the current climate of intolerance of differences.
	
	For the record, I abhor the recent mocking reference to my country's consititution so as to silence you (and ask the list owner to reject the use of this list to make such entirely inappropriate remarks).

		The main reason to request the language tag is the identity the  
		user's have about the language....
