Hoi, Right, but we moved from 639-2 to 639-3 and as a 639-3 code it is not a language at all. Have a look at http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90484 it shows that Buriat is a language family. It is not a language, it is many languages. Consequently the proposal is deficient. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard, you're quite wrong. BUA is a perfectly valid iso 639-2 code.

Hoi, I read on the list of "approved" project a proposal for a bua.wikipedia.org The code bua is NOT an ISO-639 code. The article about this language on the en.wikipedia is almost a stub. I find the quality of the requests for many new projects really low. Have a few people, find yourself a code .. or make one up who cares .. :(
This is not the first time we have projects started where it is assumed that the facts given are solid. This is definitively another one of them.
I object to the start of this project under this code. As it is for the special projects committee to accept new language versions or projects, I urge them to be diligent in the checking of the basic facts.
