There is English(Australia), English(Canada), English(Eire) - an Irishman with your agenda would object to this - English(USA), English(UK), plus many more. There is nothing political in these names. It is just a shortened way of naming the specific version of a language. For example English(Canada) would read as "English as written and used in Canada". As I stated in another email Kurdish in Turkey uses a different alphabet from other countries, therefore Kurdish(Turkey) is correct and should be interpreted as "Kurdish as written in Turkey". The only political agenda is the one that you apply to it. -- Larry I. Gusaas, Moose Jaw, Sask. http://larry-gusaas.com --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
