Hoi,
For some of the newly created wikipedias there are reasons why I would not
create them as languages in WiktionaryZ in this manner
They are:
http://roa-tara.wikipedia.org/ Tarantino
http://cbk-zam.wikipedia.org/ Zamboanga Chavacano
http://zh-classical.wikipedia.org/ Classical Chinese
http://cu.wikipedia.org/ Old Church Slavonic
http://ru-sib.wikipedia.org/ Siberian/Nort Russian
- Tarantino is supposed to use the roa code. This code does not
signify anything but that it is a Romance language. The code does specify
what is included in the code and Tarantino is not one of them.
- In ISO-639-3 cbk is the code for Chavacano. Zamboangueño is an
alternative name..
- For Classical Chinese there is no specificity as what is meant by
this. This is also easy to explain as the zh (zho) code itself is
depreciated in the ISO-639-3 because there are some 10 languages that are
included in this code.
- I might include the Old Church Slavonic as chu. It is used as
liturgical language of various Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic churches. It
is considered extinct.
- The ru-sib is a created language. It is a bad idea to create a code
as if it is a dialect of the Russian language when it is not.
Thanks,
GerardM
