Hi Gihan,

Great news!

Here are some links that might be useful when it comes time to request
an amendment to ISO 639-2:

http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/faq.html

http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/iso639-2chform.html

On Monday, please mention that ISO 15924, uses "Sinhala" and not
"Sinhalese". It appears that "Sinhala" was added to ISO 15925 on
2004-05-01.

If it is possible, would you be able to find out why in English we use
the prefix: "Sinha" but in French we use the prefix: "singha"?

cya,
