Michael, I am sure IETF would find a subtag for Klingon with the extended vocabulary.
I doubt I would approve it.
Or it would require another ISO 639-3 code?
Because it had additional vocabulary? Not a chance.
I mean, if it's not possible to treat them as so
close varieties, so it's not necessary to do any additional standardization.
Klingon is doing fine on its own. Its users enjoy it. It’s expanding now due to the new
television series. It does not concern us right now, does it?
And how should we treat such hypothetical situatuion?
Like American and British English, like Serbian and Croatian or like something else?
What, dialects of conlangs? Ido can be considered to be a dialect of Esperanto. A
“reform-dialect” but a dialect nonetheless.
I don’t think we need to make a lot of rules right now. LFN will be a nice Wikipedia.
