> The latest Q&A published by the GEO task force is: > > Should I use two-letter or three-letter language codes? > > Find it at: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-2or3.html There is a statement in there that isn't 100% accurate: <quote> The first subtag of an RFC 3066 language tag is either an ISO 639-1 two-letter language code or an ISO 639-2 three-letter code. </quote> The first subtag can also be "i" or "x". It is true, though, that the first subtag of by far most tags is taken from ISO 639. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
