"4. Intended meaning of the subtag: Valencian is a language slight different
from catalan that is spoken in the region: "Comunidad Valenciana" (code
"VC" of ISO 3166-2:1998) "
Make sure to change "slight: to "slightly"--you are also considering another
description now though I think which I like better!
But I like "Comunidad Valencia."
On another note, if under variant tags, we had several classes of variant
tags,
* regional variants for languages (which can be spoken outside a region of
course, but which match the way the language is generally spoken in a
particular region)
* historical variants for languages
* other variants or social variants for languages (are there other variants
other than social, historical, regionial for the various languages?? I know
there are also variants of scripts, orthographies . . .)
maybe more people would be happy with the tags. I feel some people might be
unhappy that say Valencia cannot be treated like Spain or France and given a
code in a section entitled region; by having regional variants we will have
solved the problem.
I do not mind going through the variants currently listed on the subtag
registry and putting them into categories based on the descriptions and any
additional research I need to do--
if anyonne wants me to do so.
Thanks.
