Which prefixes does Thomas want now for 'erzgeb,' [sxu], or [vmf], or both? (in the last case, is this then a sub-branch of two dialects, which I thought it was not, but I'm not a person who thinks languages descend in linear fashon from parents as the trees suggest, anyway.) http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=1204-16http://www.ethnologue.com/show_lang_family.asp?code=sxu Ethnologue has its family as East Middle German (like that of [sxu]):http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=sxuAlso, why is the added date for [vmf] (and other new subtags) appear as:Added: 2029-09-09
???(I'm sorry I am new at this; it does not look right but I am sure it is me.)
