This proposal has been rejected. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy based on the discussion on this page.
The closing committee member provided the following comment:
An ISO 639 (1–3) code is one of the prerequisites defined in the language proposal policy. This language does not have a standard code ("dlc" is not a valid code). —{admin} Pathoschild 02:59:42, 01 October 2007 (UTC)
Is a death language, no ISO-code --JeroenKon 15:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No, it is not dead. And the ISO code issue may or may not be a mistake by the registering authorities; it might get one later. Jon Harald Søby 16:25, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Allright, I'll stop this argument --JeroenKon 16:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Elfdalian/Dalecarlian, does not actually have an ISO 639-3 code. It did in one of the preliminary drafts, but it was retracted before the publishing of the code. It is still used in Ethnologue, but does not appear on the ISO 639 webpage. I mailed SIL International asking about this, and they said that it was an error that it had a code, and that it should be removed from Ethnologue (which hasn't happened yet).
From what I have read, though, I believe this actually is a distinct language from Swedish, and that it as such could merit a Wikipedia on its own. However, as of now, it does not have an ISO 639-3 code, and there are also no native contributors volunteering to form an editing community. Jon Harald Søby 00:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
