Yiddish for many years had no written standard, but now it does, and almost everyone writing Yiddish has adopted it. (The _Forverts_, the weekly Yiddish newspaper of New York City, was about the last holdout.) > 3) I noted that for Chinese, these tags were suggested: > zh-CN, zh-HK, zh-MO, zh-SG, zh-TW, > zh-Hans, zh-Hans-CN, zh-Hans-SG, > zh-Hant, zh-Hant-HK, zh-Hant-MO, zh-Hant-TW > > Since there are only two tags for CN, zh-CN and zh-hans-CN, would those who > argue for not overdifferentiating tags, recommend just the simpler zh-CN? There are lots of zh-hant-CN documents, mostly historical but some contemporary. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.
