<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I did send on an additional note with
a URL to the Ethnologue site, particularly drawing their attention to the
comments field at the top of the entry. But as you note, this was already
on the application I submitted and doesn't seem to be considered "reputable."
While we're still finding errors in Ethnologue, I haven't seen anything
that addresses the same subject as completely as it does. If there is something
better out there, I haven't seen it.</font>

A challenge. I found a reputable source cited by the DGLFLF on <br>
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/dglf/lgfrance/lgfrance_archives.htm<br>
mentioning "dialecte allemand d'Alsace et de Moselle" on<br>
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/dglf/lang-reg/rapport_cerquiglini/langues-france.html<br>
<br>
That would de-FR-alsacien instead of gsw-FR, therefore it's not<br>
what we want. Why do the ISO 639-2 folks reject ISO 639-3 info<br>
as second reputable source ? <br>
