<P> <BR><PRE><FONT face=Tahoma>> I'll be publishing a translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in Neo (Los Aventuros de Alis in Marvoland) in Neo -- </FONT><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(constructed_language"><FONT face=Tahoma>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(constructed_language</FONT></A><FONT face=Tahoma>) -- later this year or sometime next, and Neo hasn't got an ISO 639 language tag. I filed a request today with the ISO 639-3 authority for the tag "neu". Failing that we would need a subtag to "art" here... I guess neo1961 would do.</FONT></PRE><PRE>I did look briefly at Neo. It does not seem to have a lot of users but I can't speak on this.</PRE><PRE>It looks a bit like Italian to me (when I say it to myself aloud I can hear the Italian intonation pattern).</PRE><PRE>But I am not suggesting Italian as a prefix; just making a comment about the apparent intonation.
<FONT face=Tahoma>> Editions of Alice in Scots, Ulster Scots, Sussex, and Appalachian are also in progress. For Scots and Ulster Scots we have "sco" and "sco-ulster" respectively. I could propose "sussex" for the first. For the second...?
