Even if that interpretation of "Himachali" and "Bihari" is true (which I doubt a bit, they look like inflections rather than composite words; I guess "Bihari people" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihari_people) does not mean "Bihar languages people"...), that does not prevent the expressions "Himachal languages" and "Bihar languages" which conforms to the 639-2 rule (for good or bad)... /kent k _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
