The closing committee member provided the following comment:

This discussion was created before the implementation of the Language proposal policy, and it is incompatible with the policy. Please open a new proposal in the format this page has been converted to (see the instructions). Do not copy discussion wholesale, although you are free to link to it or summarise it (feel free to copy your own comments over). —{admin} Pathoschild 06:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • If cdo is the ISO code, you will have to go with it for the subdomain, too. This appears a bit unfortunate, since laz would certainly be nice. If possible, try to have the ISO code changed, which I doubt would be easy or quickly accomplished. Good luck! -- Purodha Blissenbach 00:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Etnologuetotally wrong about statistics of Laz speakers. There's not any statistic about Laz even other minorities in Turkey.It's just a conjecture or projection of 1965 census.
  • The en:Laz_language only gives lzz as the code, so that's what I've changed it to. Tuf-Kat 02:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
