I saw Walloon got it's "ISO code" (first message below)
I drew the attention of the e-mail address holder of the ISO website of
the existence of "Limburgish". (second message below)

Does anybody have an idea what is the proper procedure for getting a
languages's name ISO-coded?

Regards,
Roger

I see "Limburgish" is not yet coded in the list.
http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/codechanges.html

It is spoken in the both provinces with the name of "Limburg" one in
Belgium, the other in the Netherlands.

"Limburgish" is recognised by the Dutch government as a regional
language in the Netherlands. In Belgium it is  promoted by the
provincial government of Belgian Limburg.

Some websites:
- Veldeke Belgian Limburg:

- Discussion group in Limburgish
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veldeke/
- Pages related to Limburgish of the Provincial Government of Belgian
Limburg:
http://www.limburg.be/ichkaloochlimburgs/index.html

I would appreciate you people consider to add Limburgish to the list.

Regards,
Roger
