size=2><BR>Dear Ms. Broome,<BR>Both Scotland, and England and Wales don't have
official M49 codes. They<BR>both fall under UK, code 826. Inclusion to M49 of
sub-national entities and<BR>territories, in this case Scotland, is
determined thru and in consultation<BR>with the duly recognized member state ,
i.e. "United Kingdom of Great<BR>Britain and Northern Ireland".<BR>Since they
have no M49 codes, they also don't have the corresponding<BR>ISO3166 codes.
See item 8 at ISO FAQ
site:<BR><BR>http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/10faq/frequently-asked-questions.html#QS08<BR><BR>The
829 code you refer to are unofficial codes used primarily for
internal<BR>coding purposes. Technically, these codes should not be posted at
any of<BR>our site.<BR><BR>Virgilio Castillo<BR>UN Statistics

m49 code for

<BR>
<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>To whom it may
concern,<BR><BR>I work with the IETF on language codes on behalf of my
employer Sony<BR>Pictures. We need a standardized m49 code for Scotland -- if
one exists --<BR>in order to define a language variant properly. In some areas
of your site,<BR>it appears that "829" is the numeric code for Scotland. Could
you confirm<BR>or deny that this code exists in the m49 codeset?<BR><BR>Best
