Well, as Stephen pointed out, one of the main uses that many
linguists have for the Ethnologue is to find out the "three letter
codes" for particular languages, since SIL as registration authority
for ISO 639-3 is responsible for creating and maintaining this code
set. Furthermore, if linguists want to argue for changes to the ISO
639-3 code set, we need to interact with the Ethnologue and its
staff, who are ultimately responsible for these sorts of decisions.
The official ISO 639-3 code set must be purchased from the ISO in
Geneva, so up to now, Ethnologue has been the only free way of
accessing the current code set, so far as I am aware. <br>
<br>
As near as I can tell, this job - of figuring out how many distinct
languages there are in the world, assigning unique identifiers for
them (and even figuring out what the relationships among them are,
which is another job that SIL was supposed to do for ISO) - is being
done at least as well by Glottolog, and is arguably being done
better (because Glottolog's decisions seem to be based on the widest
possible reading of the scientific literature, whereas Ethnologue's
decisions seem to mostly privilege their own internal resources,
which are rarely cited or made publicly available).<br>
<br>
The problem is that since that since (a) the ISO maintains the
"official" list, and (b) the Ethnologue is the registration
authority for ISO 639-3, and (c) ISO 639-3 codes are increasingly
obligatory features of archival deposits and even some publications,
many linguists are currently forced to engage with this system. I
share several of the concerns that Dan Everett expressed earlier,
and agree that we do, as a field, need to have a conversation about
whether or not it is desirable to rely primarily or exclusively on
SIL for these sorts of services. Part of the argument that I've
often heard against moving away from SIL (for example, as ISO 639-3
registration authority) is that while its funding and permanence
seem to be relatively assured, the same can't be said of
organizations like Glottolog. So one question that I think that this
episode naturally raises is whether, as a field, our faith in SIL
has been too great. Note that in saying that, I don't imply that SIL
itself has done anything wrong. Ultimately, it's up to linguists
(who are on funding boards, who are on boards of archives, who are
on editorial boards, etc.) to decide whether we should be requiring
our colleagues to engage with SIL/Ethnologue in this way, or not.
Speaking for myself, I'd vote "not".<br>

The issue is not whether SIL will discontinue the service.
It is whether the support will be sufficient to meet the
expectations of the academic community.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the one hand, I am concerned that SIL has taken so
long to make any public statement about this. But on the
other, the more fundamental question is whether it is
appropriate for data bases of this type to be kept and
controlled exclusively by a missionary organization.
That is not a problem for SIL. It can build any data
base it wants. That is a problem for the academic
community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As was discussed at an LSA meeting several years ago,
via a panel organized by Lise Dobrin (and which I
participated in with several others), a concern that was
expressed had to do with the fact that as the academic
community allows SIL to take on a quasi-official
capacity in certain areas, e.g. the Ethnologue, SIL
thereby is able to further the myth that it is an
academic organization, when in reality (as I know having
been a member of SIL from 1976-2002) it is a missionary
organization, its members dedicated to the establishment
of churches among indigenous communities around the
world. The church support for the Ethnologue is not for
the furtherance of scientific research but to have a
more accurate assessment of Bible translation needs of
the world’s languages. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That might be fine for some, but I think it is time
that the academic community think about funding for a
parallel project. Otherwise, no one should be concerned
about paying the fee. This is the only way SIL seems to
be able to support the project and if interested
academics are willing to cede that responsibility to
SIL, then they ought not to complain or worry about
fees.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In any case, I don’t use Ethnologue much anymore so
am indifferent to the outcome. I simply believe that it
is worth discussing the general situation, perhaps at a
LingTyp meeting, and LSA, etc.</div>

It is not at all clear that SIL is
trying to make money. Maintaining these
pages costs thousands of dollars per
month and, as Martin says, SIL has no
academic funding. Its funding comes from
churches by and large and they have no
particular interest in supporting
non-mission related academics. I
strongly urge the academic community to
develop its own resources in this area. </div>

They say you can access seven data
pages per month for free.<br>
<br>
I don't find this surprising.
Ethnologue (and the entire academic
branch of SIL) has no proper academic
funding, so it's normal that they are
trying to make some money out of their
flagship publication.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, Glottolog has no proper
funding either, but as it is now
hosted by MPI-SHH in Jena (<a href="http://www.shh.mpg.de/48816/research_outline" style="color:purple;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.shh.mpg.de/48816/research_outline" target="_blank">http://www.shh.mpg.de/48816/research_outline</a>),
