Of course you're right, and I'm beet red with embarrassment.

I hope the ensuing lack of credibility won't completely derail my other
points, which I believe are still valid. Number 4, of course, should be
"... between Yue and other Chinese languages..."

On a side note, is there any reason not to add "Cantonese" as a
Description field to the existing 'yue' language and extlang records? We
did register "zh-yue" as "Cantonese" back in 1999.
