Yes, it was http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp where I was looking and
actually it was finding nothing in the ISO-639-1 column for Bambara, Fulah, and
Igbo (bm, ff & ig) that prompted my original query that started this whole
thread. Not to make a big thing of it, but when, after you and Doug correctly
directed me to the loc.gov site I began to work with the two lists, and I found
several more missing from the ISO-639-3 site - the list I gave from memory in
my previous email may not be 100% accurate, but there were definitely a number
missing from the ISO-639-3 site (but not all: ha, yo, zu and a couple of more
were indeed there all along).
Coincidentally the W3C site also has (had? - haven't checked back since a few
days ago) a list lacking some of the African ISO-639-1 alpha 2's. Must be that
a bunch of these were added more recently (c. 2000?) than this particular
edition?
Thanks again. Don
