class=178235913-18062009>And, for me, the answer is clearly given by the title
of the ISO 639 series that is "Code for the representation of NAMES of
languages".</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=178235913-18062009>So that the coded entries of ISO 639 should be NAMES of
LANGUAGES (ideally the language's autonym, that is the name given by the
considered named language inside this considered language; so that there should
ideally be only one language name for every entry of ISO 639, because this entry
is exactly this name that is being coded). So that ISO 639 should not be taken
as coding directly languages (objects whose definition is clearly questionable
and does not seem to be unanimously adopted), and should naturally choosee code
elements having direct links with the coded language name, as this has been
quasi-systematically the case in ISO 639 history..</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>That is a perfectly valid reason for your request, Victor, which
worked for Bosnian, although only after many lives had been destroyed, which
"justification" is not one to be wished on any country, so please bear in mind
that such decisions are sometimes based on reasoned argument, sometimes on
political bias and that being mocked in public, as you were today, is part of
the price you pay for just asking in the current climate of intolerance of
differences.<BR><BR>For the record, I abhor the recent mocking reference to my
country's consititution so as to silence you (and ask the list owner to reject
the use of this list to make such entirely inappropriate
remarks).<BR><BR>mg<BR><BR><BR>Scríobh Victor on 18 Jun 2009, at 08:07,
