Agree with Shawn. Think of -spanglis as "precomposed" at a time when we're yet not ready for a dynamic system?* However I do think that we'll see a *lot* more combinations in the coming years, even ones that are hard to imagine today, along with needs for handling them in technical (and social) contexts that are impossible to predict. Don * Perhaps eventually some form of AI to tag on the fly? -----Original Message----- From: Ietf-languages [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shawn Steele Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 5:57 PM To: Michael Everson <[email protected]>; Doug Ewell <[email protected]>; Peter Constable <[email protected]> Cc: ietflang IETF Languages Discussion <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Need decisions on proposed new and updated subtags > > 3.

I don’t find the other arguments convincing, not so far anyway. I don't object to -spanglis. I would not mind a system to encode other combinations, however I don't like the idea of a system as complex as some of the proposals for -t-, and I (& Microsoft, but we're individuals here) are not at all keen on overloading -t- to describe code switching. I think that there's no harm in registering -spanglis (or other possible requests like -hinglish) even if a more general solution for that concept is agreed upon in the future. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages
