• ISO / SOL code: Extremaduran - (SIL Code, EXT; ISO 639-2 code, roa [Romance Miscellaneous])
• Proposer: Carlos Quiles (co-writer of the cultural newspaper Iventia.com)
• People interested joining:
  • APLEx Society

• Notes/comments:
  • Two dialect near en:Castilian and en:Portuguese language (es:Dialecto extremeño).
  • No ISO code. Are there any objections to roa-ext? (roa is the generic code for "other Romance languages")
    • ext is not an ISO code. (5 Mar 2005)
      • No, but it is an SIL code which brings more detail to the 'roa' miscellaneous Romance description. roa-ext or ext-roa sounds good to me. 66.65.199.49 23:35, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
  • this language seems a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish. It seens that is not a language variation (dialect of a language), like British English or American English, but a language. Fala is more related with Portuguese and it belongs to the Portuguese-Galician group (31 Mar 2005).
    • No, Fala and Extremaduran are what are called "transitional varieties". They do not belong to either language. This is an example of a Wikipedia requested a while ago with support from the relevant cultural institutions but was never created, while chr:, chy:, tum:, and others created around the time of this request never had that support, but were created anyways and are still practically empty. --Node ue 16:49, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
