Re: Language subtag registration form

Now that there's convergence on a tag, how about this (emphasis added):

4. Intended meaning of the subtag:
     The Bornholmsk _language_, spoken on the Danish island of Bornholm,
     which has distinct grammar, lexicon, gender system and pronunciation
     when compared to Danish.

If the assertion is that this is a distinct language, then a variant subtag is not really appropriate, and the response should be that a request should first be redirected to the ISO 639-3 RA.

So, let me ask: Is the request really to code a distinct _language_, or should the description be revised to say "The Bornholmsk variety of Danish"?

How about "Subtag: bornholm"? The proposed "bor" has only 3 letters, which is too short for a variant subtag; "bornholm" has 8 letters which is within the allowed range.

Hi,

Thank you for your careful feedback. An amended registration form follows. The subtag is now the set of characters common to both the English, Danish, and Bornholmsk word for the language.

Hello,

The requested subtag 'bornholmsk' is more than eight letters/digits long, and thus invalid. You should consider how to abbreviate it appropriately or choose an appropriate alternate representation that "fits". Also, the Suppress-Script and Macrolanguage fields must not appear in a variant record (the 'da' subtag probably has the script field already; macrolanguage is not applicable to Danish).
