If granted to be deprecated, this will cause the existing art-lojban, though it will remain usable. Here is a copy of the form I filled out: Request for new language code Criteria for requesting new language codes. ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-1 Name(s) of language (English): (Required) Lojban If giving variant names, indicate preferred form first Name(s) of language (French): lojban If giving variant names, indicate preferred form first Reference where found: http://www.lojban.org/publications/brochures/brochure_french.txt Name(s) of language (indigenous): la lojban. [note required final dot, NOT a period] If giving variant names, indicate preferred form first Reference where found: http://ptolemy.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/intro.html If in non-Roman script and supplying a romanized form, indicate transliteration system used, if possible: None. Evidence of sufficient number of documents to establish separate code per ISO 639-2 Annex A A.2.1 (request by one agency with 50 documents or five agencies with a total of 50 among them). Please cite name of institution(s) where documents are held and number at each. Example: Library of Congress (65) (Required) The Logical Language Group, a non-profit Virginia (U.S.) corporation, holds a substantial archive in paper and electronic form of documents in Lojban. There are at least 100 Lojban documents in this archive, including original prose and poetry, translations, personal letters, and other works. Many of these works are also available online. See http://www.lojban.org for contact information. Additional information (e.g., estimated number of speakers, official status, where spoken): Lojban is a constructed language with several purposes, originally designed to test the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but now extended to international communication, human-computer communication, and others. There are about 30-40 fluent speakers in all parts of the world, and perhaps 300 who have some level of interest in the language. Lojban has no official status anywhere. Request addition in (Note that ISO 639-1 is a subset of ISO 639-2): ISO 639-2 only -- yes ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2 -- no Code suggestions (Note that there is no guarantee that these codes will be assigned): Alpha-3 code: (ISO 639-2) jbo Alpha-2 code: (ISO 639-1) None. Submitter of request Name: (Required) John Cowan E-mail: (Required) cowan@ccil.org Status of submitter in relation to language (e.g., Speaker of language; Academic/language teacher): Non-fluent speaker of language, Vice President of Logical Language Group. Note: We are requesting the code "jbo" because it seems unlikely to be assigned to any other language, is not used by the Ethnologue, and is a combining form (bound morpheme) meaning "Lojban(ic)", in such words as jbopli, Lojban user, and jbota'a, to talk in Lojban. -- Not to perambulate John Cowan the corridors http://www.reutershealth.com during the hours of repose http://www.ccil.org/~cowan in the boots of ascension. --Sign in Austrian ski-resort hotel ------------------------ Yahoo!
