Language subtag registration for 1990aolp

[CE Whitehead]

Hi.


I agree with Luc that if this language is being used, it merits a subtag, whatever anyone thinks of this particular reform.



That said, given all the discussion, I think we could try to add an additional reference/citation somewhere, though the authoritative reference could remain as is; but you could add a note (under additional information, or as a second reference; someone who knew Portuguese and the situation might add a brief comment saying, for example, that in addition to the published description, Novo Dicionario defines as of 2009 contains vocabulary for Brazil, whereas ? contains vocabulary for Portugal; that is a long comment however so might need to go under additional information).

    > Type: variant
    > Subtag: 1990aolp
    > Description: Portuguese orthography based on 1990 agreement.
    > Prefix: pt
    > Comments: Portuguese orthography as defined by an international
      > agreement signed in 1990 and implemented from 2009

 > 4. Intended meaning of the subtag:

> This variant subtag is intended to apply to text that uses the modern

> in 1990 and implemented from 2009.

 > 5. Reference to published description

> The full text of the Agreement (Acordo Ortográfico da Língua
> Portuguesa (1990)) as part of the Portuguese Parliament Resolution
> n. 26/91: http://dre.pt/pdf1sdip/1991/08/193A00/43704388.pdf

> The official vocabulary is at http://www.portaldalinguaportuguesa.org/

What might be nice given all the dispute might be a citation of at least one additonal commercially available dictionary of this,
and/or a short text in this version (perhaps we could have also some sample texts for the [1945colb] variant, one text produced in Portugal, one in Brazil).


Anyone want to suggest dictionaries or sample texts (it would be nice to have the whole text but I think we can take a citation)?   (Sorry I cannot  
(A google search returned the following:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novo_Dicionário_Aurélio_da_Língua_Portuguesa
Novo Dicionario da lingua Portuguesa 2009
Brazilian Portuguese; so you would still need a reference for Portuguese Portuguese I think;


http://www.priberam.pt/dlpo/
Dicionaria Priberam,
which advertises itself:


"a consulta de mais de 105.000 entradas; 
o uso da ortografia com ou sem o Acordo Ortográfico de 1990; 
a selecção entre a variedade de português de Portugal ou do Brasil."


Thus something like one of these may do but I don't know what I am doing; you need a Portuguese scholar)


(Other notes: though I would like citations of some sample texts for it, the [1945colb] variant registration seems ready to go; I don't want to hold up this one either; but I do personally like links to sample texts.)


Best,
