Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages/Secondary language names in Ethnologue 17 by ISO code

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of secondary language names from Ethnologue that were red links as of 2014 May 09.[1][Note: Page diff may take a long time to load]

Da:galag and various spellings of Bushman languages like ||Auo create problems for the links. Other names are redundant (e.g. 'language' appended to the link name despite 'creole' or 'language' earlier in the name).

Since some of these names may be used for more than one language (e.g. Sungai), caution is required when creating redirects for them. They may also be for the wrong language: An ISO code may have been split without all the secondary names following properly, and secondary names are commonly misidentified in the first place. (E.g., Muak Sa-aak and Tailoi are not the same language.) Red links should therefore not be converted to redirects without verification.

[edit]

Check for names appearing under more than one ISO code before creating redirects.
