</FONT>Speaking of grandfathered tags...<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#00007F">%%<BR>
Type: grandfathered<BR>
Tag: cel-gaulish<BR>
Description: Gaulish<BR>
Added: 2001-05-25<BR>
</FONT><BR>
According to Wikipedia, the Gaulish languages are (or rather were):<BR>
xtg – Transalpine Gaulish<BR>
xcg – Cisalpine Gaulish<BR>
xlp – Lepontic<BR>
xga – Galatian<BR>
<BR>
So I think cel-gaulish should be deprecated, with a comment like:<BR>
"Comment: See: xtg for Transalpine Gaulish, xcg for Cisalpine Gaulish,<BR>
xlp for Lepontic, xga for Galatian."<BR>
<BR>

Tag: zh-min<BR>
Description: Min, Fuzhou, Hokkien, Amoy, or Taiwanese<BR>
Added: 1999-12-18<BR>
Deprecated: 2009-07-29<BR>

According to Ethnologue (<FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U><a href="https://www.ethnologue.com/language/mnp">https://www.ethnologue.com/language/mnp</a></U></FONT>):<BR>
"The Chinese now divide Chinese Min into 5 major varieties:<BR>
Min Nan [nan], Min Bei [mnp], Min Dong [cdo], Min Zhong [czo], and Pu-Xian [cpx].<BR>
Others say there are at least 9 varieties which are inherently mutually unintelligible."<BR>
<BR>
So I think a comment like:<BR>
"Comment: See: nan for Min Nan, mnp for Min Bei, cdo for Min Dong,<BR>
czo for Min Zhong, cpx for Pu-Xian."<BR>
would be appropriate for this registry entry, while deprecating this tag.<BR>

Tag: i-mingo<BR>
Description: Mingo<BR>
Added: 1997-09-19<BR>
</FONT><BR>
According to Wikipedia, Mingo is a dialect of Seneca (language subtag: 'see').<BR>
So I think this one should be deprecated, with a reference to 'see' for Seneca,<BR>
or possibly to (Preferred-Value) 'see-mingo' where 'mingo' is a new variant subtag.<BR>
At the very least there should be a reference to Seneca, even of not deprecating this tag.<BR>
