Good day Milos (and others if you know about that),
I'd like to investigate that more please if you could assist me. My contact
at the Cree Cultural Institute (after I told him we could create an Innu
Wikipedia separate from the Cree one which has Innu articles right now)
that we (may) should divide the Innu into dialects as well because of huge
phonological differences between West and East. On Ethnologue, where Innu
is called Montagnais (ISO code moe), they mention Western Montagnais and
Eastern Montagnais (exactly as described by the guy from the Cree Cultural
Insitute), but they don't mention any "sub-codes" for those. See
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=moe .
That being said, what would be the advantages of having those codes for the
"sub-dialects"? I mean, the intent is not to have separate Wikipedias. It's
perfectly possible to sort the articles according to those dialect on one
Wikipedia without having codes.
Thanks,
JP

ISO 639-6 codify dialects (at least the major ones).
You should check
first if the dialect has that code and just if it doesn't have, you
should think about creating new code (likely to suggest it as new ISO
639-6 code).

Good day,
Do you think there would be a way to implement something where the
contributor could select his dialect of a language within his
preferences or
at the time of writing an article so we could
make indexation of
articles by
dialect somewhat automatic ?
Thanks,
JP
