I was surprised to find that some 2-letter ISO-639-1 language codes I thought
were official are not in the list of codes. Specifically:
bm - Bambara
ff - Fula (Fulfulde/Pulaar)
ig - Igbo
The first two I recall communicating with Indrek Hein about in 2000, and assumed
they were already adopted. The one for Igbo I found on in a Wikipedia article.
The next questions are what their status is if any (other than imaginary, I
guess), and whether it is worth putting those and possibly others forth for
approval. Or is ISO-639-1 now closed?
I'm aware of course of ISO-639-2 (3-letter codes) and ISO/DIS-639-3. Am I
correct in assuming that ISO-639-2 is intended to replace ISO-639-1? Also, what
is the intended relationship between ISO-639-2 and ISO/DIS-639-3 (once the
latter is adopted)?
Thanks in advance.
