PROPOSAL: Remove Deprecation on "sh" in the IANA subtag registry

[Phillips, Addison]

I think you need to fill in the whole record. I think the record you’re proposing is:

%%
Type: language
Subtag: sh
Description: Serbo-Croatian
Added: 2005-10-16
Scope: macrolanguage
%%

And the point here is that the “Deprecated” field has been removed from the record.

Correct, thanks. Here is the form:

LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM

   1. Name of requester: Mark Davis

   2. E-mail address of requester: mark at macchiato.com<mailto:mark at macchiato.com>





   3. Record Requested:



      Type: language

      Subtag: sh

      Description: <unchanged>

      Prefix: <unchanged>

      Preferred-Value: <unchanged>





      Deprecated: REMOVE

      Suppress-Script: <unchanged>

      Macrolanguage: <unchanged>

      Comments: <unchanged>



   4. Intended meaning of the subtag: <unchanged>





   5. Reference to published description

      of the language (book or article): <n/a>

   6. Any other relevant information:
The ISO 639-3 code corresponding to 'sh' is not deprecated, it is an ordinary macrolanguage like many ('no', 'zh', 'ar',...). The new version of BCP 47 follows the status of languages in ISO 639-3, and for consistency "sh" should not be deprecated.

(From a usage standpoint, the code "sh" is also as useful as any other
macrolanguage.)

Hi Mark,



You at least have to fill in the form with the proposed record, I believe.

There is an anomaly in the upcoming registry. The ISO 639-3 code corresponding to 'sh' is not deprecated, it is an ordinary macrolanguage like many ('no', 'zh', 'ar',...)

http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=hbs

Yet in the registry, we have 'sh' as Deprecated. The new version of BCP 47 follows the status of languages in ISO 639-3, and for consistency "sh" should not be deprecated. (From a usage standpoint, the code "sh" is also as useful as any other macrolanguage.)

I request the change in status.

Mark
