So, you run out of arguments, and now ressort to argumentum ad populum. This should, if anything, be a reason *NOT* to abide by your demands. I can only expect you wouldn't hesitate to use Wesnoth in the same way as a source of authority on Valencian (when lacking sources of authority at all, I suppose one has to invent them...). Furthermore, it seems you're confusing Addons with Mozilla. I don't see the latter adopting a fake "Valencian" translation anytime soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331384 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361000 > I put you two maps, the first is the origin of two languages: Creation of > languages.jpg > > Both languages evolved and developed their academies as you can see in: > Evolution of languages.jpg Why is Galician/Portuguese in the same map? Is this some sort of argument by analogy? Anyway, there's an outright lie in your drawing. No, before AVL, RACV wasn't in charge of Valencian. It has never been. AVL superceeded ICS (not RACV), and as a consequence of this we have two standards, one for generic Catalan (ICS) and one for Valencian (AVL) which is entirely consistent with Catalan (remember, AVL recognises, like everyone else, that Catalan and Valencian are the same language). > Why the ISO locale "cat" has two names: Catalan and Valencian? ISO don't give > the name of a dialect as the name of a language... Why don't you bring your deliberation to ISO? If you think they got something wrong, I'm sure they have procedures to sort that out. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
