[Foundation-l] On Arabic and sub-language proposals.

Tue Oct 7 12:32:00 UTC 2008

Hoi,
As indicated earlier, the "Lebanese" request proves that the ISO-639-3
standard is not followed blindly when giving the eligible status to a
project.

The language committee is restricted in what it can share publicly.
Consequently not everything can be scrutinised by people who want to know
and see everything. As I indicated earlier, the request for Egyptian Arabic
was given extra attention.
Thanks,
     GerardM
