Re: [Ltru] Data update from ISO 639-5 to draft-4645bis



Hi, Kent, Doug:
 
It seems to me that
at ethnologue:
Dayak, Land [dyk] is a subset of the Land Dayak group of languages:
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=91242
 
(There is also a separate group of languages there, Malayic Dayak which is under the group Malayik and not the group Land Dayak; both Malayik (in the "Ibanic" group) and Land Dayak are classified as Malayo-Polynesian but they are not the same--not in Wikipedia either; Wikipedia classifies both as Dayak it seems.
 
So it may be just the naming that is different.
 
That's as near as I can make this classification out.)
 
Thanks.
