Valencian Language Tag registration request

[Phillips, Addison]

Hi,

You can't request this subtag in this form: RFC 4646 only permits independent registration of language subtags containing between five and eight characters and then, generally, only if the language has been rejected by the maintainers of ISO 639.

A pending update of the RFC 4646 will broaden the list of languages to include ISO 639-3 codes. This won't help your particular request for three reasons:

- ISO 639 (and thus this registry) already recognizes Valencian/Catalan with the subtag 'ca'. You need to convince ISO 639 that Valencian is a separate language meriting its own code.
- The variant subtag 'valencia' is already registered (in this registry) as a way of indicating Valencian (as a variety of 'ca').
- ISO 639-3 already assigns the code 'val' to the language Vehes, making it unavailable.

Finally, a note on your request: the "Preferred-Value" field would not be appropriate to include. That field is used to indicate when a different subtag should be used instead of the one in the record.

Kind regards,

Addison
