Actually there is an ethnologue code for "Russian Buryat" (as opposed
to Mongolian or Chinese Buryat). That would probably be appropriate
here.

Hi!
Why it is deficient?
I guess the problem is that sometimes ethnologue codes may differ from
reality. The further away languages get from the west, the lower is the
probability of having people inform ethnologue of the problem, in order to
correct the situation. Now maybe there really are a number of variations of
the buryaty language, one of which has got govt recognition. The problem is
that no ethnologue code was issued, following this event. I suspect that
more than just one language may find itself in this situation, in the area
of the Russian Federation. It would be nice to set up a systematic
verification process and clear up the mess.
Gerard, is there any standard procedure we should follow to report the
problem to ethnologue?
