Isn't "Farsi, Eastern" the inverted form? The usual English-language order would be "Eastern Farsi". Surely Doug must have meant "moving adjectival qualifiers to the end, after the main language name, and separated by a comma."

I prefer a formal definition like this one. It is specially useful since I always thought that "Farsi, Eastern", with the qualifier at the end, was the inverted form. _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
