Dear colleagues,
Have you, or do you know of anyone who has, done any work on encoding
Greek dialects in XML? In particular, has anyone tried to compile a list
of dialects and propose 5- to 8-character codes for them to the IANA
registry (as described at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt and listed
at http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry)?
So for example, the Aeolic dialect might be expressed using the xml:lang
attribute with the value:
xml:lang="grc-Aeolic"
(where "grc" is the 3-letter code for classical Greek, there not being a
2-letter code like "el" for modern Greek)
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
G
