Hi Ilario
As Editor of ISO 639-6, I am fully aware of the differences between written
and spoken language. Indeed, it was my BSI Committee that first raised this
issue with the ISO committee wrt the need for separate codes for written and
spoken language/varieties. Again, ISO 639-6 does not classify but deals
with ALL linguistic entities from the highest level of phyla to the lowest
level of component of dialect and orthography.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Debbie

The problem of ethnologue is clear to the linguistic
searcher, for Ethnologue all is language, all is called
language. The ISO need to have more languages as possible and
the association with Ethnologue is done.
Ethnologue has understood to have made a BIG mistake in the
past and in this moment they are correcting the problem
considering 1st language and 2nd language for every people.
If the difference between dialect and language is
complicated, please refer to difference between "spoken" and
"written" language.

Yes, it has been requested on more than one
occasion. It
went stagnant
because Romanesco is considered part of Italian
by ethnologue.

Then why don't we have a Romanesco WP?
Because no one requested it?
