Talk:Nhanda language

comments

This article is rather confusing. It gives bis as the ISO 639-3, but that code refers to a different language. --Gareth Hughes 16:08, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. Actually, it gives "bia", which is still incorrect. I've checked ISO 639-3 and Nhanda isn't there so I've emailed SIL to ask them to put it in. I'll remove the number from the article until a code gets allocated.

Is there anything else about the article that was confusing? Dougg 23:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thank you for that. The main issue that confused me was the difference between 'bia' and the article itself. I've e-mailed SIL over a couple of coding issues. Their answer always seems to be that they are waiting until ISO 639-3 is adopted as standard before accepting any applications. --Gareth Hughes 13:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

SIL have been very quick in replying. There should be a code in about a year's time. I guess it's ok to leave the infobox as it is until then? They tell me they're streamlining the process, so from late 2006 it should only take about 3 months to get a new code approved. Dougg 00:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
