Dear Lowlanders,

Today, I received the following message:

>> The ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee has approved the following item:
>> English name:  Limburgish; Limburger; Limburgan
>> French name:  limbourgeois
>> Indigenous name:  Limburgs
>> Alpha-2 identifier:  li
>> Alpha-3 identifier:  lim
>>
>> Best regards,
>> Håvard Hjulstad
>> Acting chairman of the ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee

Nice to see they're also using the Lowlands-L name for the language
(Limburgish).
Can anyone tell me when those language identifiers are used?

Regards,
Mathieu
