Gerard,

Chavacano/Chabacano has different varieties or dialects including
ZamboangueÃ±o, the dialect with the largest number of speakers. Although
cbk is the ISO code, we decided to go with cbk-zam to distiguish Chavacano
de Zamboanga from the CaviteÃ±o, TernateÃ±o and other varieties which are
almost extinct. cbk alone is ambiguous. ZamboangueÃ±o, the alternative name
is also ambiguous because it can mean both the residents of Zamboanga City,
Philippines and the dialect of this creole language. Therefore, cbk-zam is
fit to be the non-standardized ISO for Chavacano de Zamboanga wikipedia
(http://cbk-zam.wikipedia.org)

Muchisimas Gracias.
