Ethnologue. Definitely the JAC was incorporating into part 2 the item in the

I'm not quite sure your take on this represents what was on my ISO application.
The application draws attention to other regions where Alemanic dialects can be
found (see: "addinfo" section). I believe the French name typically
indicates a broader range of dialects as well:</span></font> <br>

I can tell you that the intent of "gsw" is specifically Swiss German,
and that the assumption of having "Alemanic" listed as a name is that
some people use that label to refer to specifically to Swiss German. If the
latter assumption is incorrect (which appears to be what Mark is saying, then
that is a change that the JAC should consider.</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Alemanic
refers to a broader group of dialects than "Swiss German" (aka
Schwyzertuesch) does. So listing them as it does is problematic; it's like
listing<br>
<br>
ar Arabic; Egyptian Arabic<br>
<br>
Personally, I don't care whether it is resolved to be <br>
<br>
Alemanic (including Swiss German) <br>
// which is what 639-3 seems to be pointing to<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
Swiss German (a particular variant of Alemanic)<br>
// which is what the code (gsw) seems to be pointing to<br>
<br>
But we need some clarity as to what is meant by the code. <br>

<br>

<br>
However, there is a "c" missing from Alemanic, and Swiss German is
not the same as Alemanic: Swiss German is a type of Alemanic, but there are
other types that are not the same as Swiss German.<br>
<br>
Quoting Martin Duerst: </span></font><br>
<br>
"Yes, Swabian is clearly Alemanic. Alemanic and Swiss German are not<br>
the same. There are very close similarities between some dialects in <br>
the north of Switzerland and across the border in Germany, but as<br>
soon as you cross the border, it's very clearly no longer Swiss<br>
German. A label such as "Alemanic; Swiss German", assuming that <br>
both are the same, is clearly wrong. If it's something like<br>
"Alemanic; includes Swiss German", that would be okay."<br>
<br>
Can this be corrected so that it does not continue to mislead people? <br>
