Talk:IETF language tag

message: This article uses two letter iso 639-1 tags as examples throughout, though current standards favor three letter iso 639-3 tags.  Most examples should be changed to show current best practice. Bcharles (talk) 03:02, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about BCP 47, which doesn't offer any such choice - you have to use the tag specified in the registry. --Zundark (talk) 08:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Updating examples

message: I'm curious if anyone knows of a decently comprehensive list somewhere of commonly used IETF language tags.  My sense is because there is a theoretically endless amount of possible combinations, no one wants to publish an exact list, and thats why usually examples are only provided.  But I do think there are a set of most commonly used tags which would be practical to have a list of for those doing everyday i18n work, and would be a useful addition to this article.  Does anyone have a good reference for a list, or also think this would be useful? (note this is obviously an unofficial edit, just convenient to stay logged into my staff acct!)

thread_title: Missing Content

message: I've made some factual corrections to this article, specifically with regard to misuse of well-defined BCP 47 terms like "redundant" and "deprecated" and "standard track." More such changes will be forthcoming. Doug Ewell (talk) 02:48, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: ISO 639-3 does distinguish between Chinese dialects, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, and many others. Cantonese can be represented by either "yue" or "zh-yue" in BCP 47. Doug Ewell (talk) 13:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

message: What about underscore instead of hyphen?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.40.67.87 (talk) 09:23, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: BCP 47 language tags consist of one or more subtags separated by hyphens. Some projects that use BCP 47 extend the syntax by allowing (or requiring) underscores instead of hyphens. This is especially common in applications such as CLDR which use language tags as locale identifiers. Doug Ewell (talk) 05:36, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Underscore 

message: Since July 2018, the lead section of this article had been marked as needing a rewrite; it was indeed very hard to understand, especially for non-technical readers. To fix this (and make the article more accessible), I’ve taken the liberty to simplify and shorten the lead. For illustration, I’ve also added an example with extension U, and one with a variant tag. — Sascha (talk) 08:09, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Simplified lead section 

message: The following sentence will soon be updated, clarified, and/or moved to a more appropriate section of the article:
“In its accordance with ISO 639-3, however, it does not provide codes for distinguishing between Arabic-based scripts, and maintains two duplicate codes for Punjabi, as well as a number of dubious or non-existent language distinctions made by its parents standard.”
These are criticisms of the ISO 639-3 and ISO 15924 RA processes, which belong (if anywhere) on the pages for those standards, not on this page. At a minimum, this questionable content does not belong in the introduction, as though it defined the entire nature of BCP 47. Doug Ewell (talk) 18:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: A new subsection “Adherence to core standards” has been added, to acknowledge that disagreements with the RA processes exist while clarifying that BCP 47 follows the standards and does not supersede or contradict them. The material in the introduction has accordingly been removed. Doug Ewell (talk) 04:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
