Re: Canonical URIs for regional variants in multilingual dataset

Hola Idafen,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look deeply in the lexvo dataset. 

I really hope to find direct URIs out there based on the IETF doc [1] as defined in $2..2.4 section on region subtag. 

Cheers,
Ghislain

The fact that a language is used on a region does not always imply a variant of the language, of course.
