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
it shows that
Buriat is a language family. It is not a language, it is many languages.
Consequently the proposal is deficient.
Thanks,

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.
Thanks,
GerardM
