Valencia’s petition was rejected until such time as they could show that their language isn’t Catalan. (They can’t.) The same burden of proof should rest with Montenegrin. I have recently applied for a code for Western Armenian, and in that proposal whole paradigms of nouns and verbs were given in Eastern and Western Armenian, showing differences at least as great as those between Portuguese and Italian, if not Romanian. > On 10 Oct 2017, at 22:49, David Starner <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 10, 2017 at 11:32 AM Doug Ewell <[email protected]> wrote: > Is that a working model of the JAC, that once an error is made in > disunifying language codes, the floodgates are open?

Montengrin has the nationalist aspects of a language down; even if it set a precedent, there aren't that many languages that could claim to follow it. And if the US decided it spoke American, I doubt the opposition to it would prevent the addition of a code for it for long. > _______________________________________________ > Ietf-languages mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages
