Hoi, The code az is fpr a macro language. There are two languages North and South Azerbaijani. North Azerbaijani is written in several scripts according to Ethnologue. To the point where it was only written in the Arab script until the 1920's Having it in the Latin script which is official in Azerbaijan is fine when we rename this project to azj.
Gerard, PLEASE learn the difference between “when” and “if”. It really matters.
I am fine with having an azb under the circumstances when they truly want to deny their roots.
Don’t be so judgemental where a practical matter is in question.
There’s nothing wrong with az-latn.wikipedia.org and az-arab.wikipedia.org either, using script codes. Or az.wikipedia.org as it is and a new az-arab.wikipedia.org
The chief question seems to be script, not language. Ethnologue at least says nothing about mutual intelligibility.
