Letzeburgesch
Hi,
Please change Letzeburgesch to Lëtzebuergesch.
Thanks in advance. --Les Meloures (talk) 16:50, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
:Why? The preferred spelling, according to the ISO 639-2 custodian ([https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php here]) for language tag ltz
is 'Luxembourgish' with an alternate spelling 'Letzeburgesch'. For the same language tag, ISO 639-3 apparently prefers 'Letzeburgesch' over 'Luxembourgish' though the custodian's page title for ltz
is 'Luxembourgish' (see [https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/ltz here]).
:
:en.wiki apparently prefers 'Luxembourgish' because Letzeburgesch and Lëtzebuergesch redirect to Luxembourgish.
:
:Regardless, were it decided to change the spelling, that change must not be made here because this module tracks the ISO 639-2 custodian.
:
:Where are you seeing 'Letzeburgesch' and what led you here to achieve this change?
