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>

m49 code for

Scotland?

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 regards,<br>
