<div dir="ltr">Hi, Doug, all:<br>These look o.k. to me; thanks for doing these so carefully.<br>However I do wonder why ISO specified no preferred value for one identifier:<br>> LANGUAGE SUBTAG MODIFICATION<br>> File-Date: 2013-xx-xx<br>> %%<br>> Type: language<br>> Subtag: mld<br>> Description: Malakhel<br>> Added: 2009-07-29<br>> Deprecated: 2013-xx-xx<br>> %%<br><br>> ---<br>> . . . <br><br>> 6. Any other relevant information:<br><br> > This registration tracks a change made to ISO 639-3 effective<br> > 2013-01-23, retiring the code element 'mld' for Malakhel as<br> > non-existent. No Preferred-Value is indicated.<br><br> > For more information on the ISO 639-3 change, refer to:<br> > http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/cr_files/639-3_ChangeRequests_2012_Sum&Add.pdf<br> > http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/cr_files/2012-069.pdf<br><br>I don't see why iso did not specify a preferrd value for [mld] as [oru], but fine. (Malakhel [mld] which also is depreciated with no preferred value seems different than Forest Maninka [myq], that is there does not appear to be, in the change request information, any other language it should be associated with.)<br><br>Best,<br><br>--C.
