I like Arbeo's idea with the four-letter codes especially in order to avoid future conflicts: the "frp" I proposed for Ripuarian has just been taken by franco-provencal. So may I ask for the creation of the Ripuarian Wikipedia with either rip.wikipedia.org or ripu.wikipedia.org and an English language interface (since the Ripuarian Interface is not yet ready, and we do not want a German interface, as Ripuarian is spoken in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium)?
Thanks! Dominik
A possible alternative has just crossed my mind: why not use four-lettered codes for languages that don't have an iso code (yet)? That would allow us to pick abbreviations that users can memorize more easily while not interfering with any existing or potential future iso codes. (e. g. "samo" for Samogitian, "bany" or maybe "wjav" - to include all Western Javanese dialects - for Banyumsan, "ripu" for Ripuarian and so forth)
