[Wikipedia-l] North Frisian wikipedia - arbitrary mention

[Tân Pektiong]

Hi Wouter,

Are you talking about this language?
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=frr

This info is from the 15th edition of the SIL's Ethnologue.
The 3-letter language code used in this edition will be almost 
identical to the
upcoming ISO/DIS 639-3 which has passed the first round of balloting to 
attain the status of Draft International Standard.

 From http://www.ethnologue.com/ethno_docs/introduction.asp
"The three-letter language identifiers in this edition of the 
Ethnologue are thus the codes of ISO/DIS 639-3."

I would suggest to use the SIL's newest language code when necessary 
(and before ISO 639-3 is finalized). So http://frr.wikipedia.org/ (?)

best
