- KBF scopeNote "Kakauhua [kbf] is listed as an extinct Kaweskaran language. However, there is no data pertaining to the alleged language of this ethnonym, and it cannot be asserted that such a language ever existed as a separate language" language.
- NXU scopeNote "In this present request, we observe that previous linguistic data were acquired for a variety of Kaure spoken near the Narau river, hence the name. Dommel and Dommel (1991) report that Narau and Kaure are mutually intelligible," language.
- PRP scopeNote "Merged into [guj] Gujarati. Today Parsis do not retain an Iranian language, but speak a variety of Gujarati with some Iranian lexical material not otherwise present in Gujarati." language.

- GBC scopeNote "The many correspondences in grammar, especially the pronoun inventories, confirm the conclusion that these languages are closely related, but at the same time the substantial differences in grammar suggest that they must be mutually unintelligible -- closely related languages rather than dialects of a language" language.
- BTB scopeNote "Beti is actually a group name, not a language name. Language group members are Bebele [beb], Bebil [bxp], Bulu [bum], Eton [eto], Ewondo [ewo], Fang [fan], and Mengisa [mct], all of which already have their own code elements." language.
- GGO scopeNote "So now, almost 25 years later, based on years of working in this region we are convinced that there are indeed two distinct, but related, Gondi languages [Aheri Gondi, esg and Adilabad Gondi, wsg]." language.
- SGL scopeNote "The lexical similarity of Ishkashimi [isk] and Sanglechi [sgy] is 70%. Comprehension testing showed that intelligibility between the two speech varieties is marginal, although the Sanglechi understand Ishkashimi slightly better than vice versa." language.
- ASD scopeNote "In the past, the Kou (Sinsauru) [snz] language was mistakenly classified as two separate languages: Asas [asd] and Sinsauru [snz]. John Z'graggen, in his 1975 paper "The Languages of the Madang District," gave an alternate name of "Kow" for both of the languages he called Asas [asd] and Sinsauru [snz]." language.
- KJF scopeNote "The Indo-Iranian Khalaj does not exist, only the Turkic Khalaj. Hammarstrom lists Khalaj [kjf] as "spurious". Hammarstrom states that "in addition to their Turkic language, the Khalaj speak only Farsi [pes], which already has an entry."" language.

- PBZ scopeNote "Nothing is known about this language; we have never heard of this language. There is no evidence that this language has ever existed." language.
- NAD scopeNote "The only reference to Nijadali I can find is Ethnologue, so it's probably a typo for Nijadali [xny] (an alternate spelling for Nyiyaparli)." language.
- BIC scopeNote "Laycock cites a published study that shows that the wordlist the existence of the language is based on was not reliable--collected monolingually by a government patrol officer. Glottolog concurs with this merger and has already decommissioned this language. [Bikaru is therefore Merged into Bisorio (bir).]" language.
- PII scopeNote "According to Amanda Lissarrague at Austlang (p.c. 2021), “‘Pini’ has no language data apart from the name and is an exonym.”" language.
- TKK scopeNote "I can find no data in the Takpa [tkk] references in the Ethnologue to support its classification as Tibetan, Western, Ladakhi. On the contrary, Dakpa has been grouped with East Bodish by Shafer, Burling, van Driem and Michailovsky & Mazaudon. Cuona Monpa (which is the name in China for [twm]) is classified as East Bodish by Bradley. Thus, Takpa [tkk] merged into Tawang Monpa [twm]." language.
- CBE scopeNote "Alan Wares, in correspondence with Barbara Grimes (5/28/1971), stated that Chipiajes should be deleted as "non-existent." The only information that the Ethnologue has added for Chipiajes: "A Sáliba surname. Many Guahibo also have that name."" language.
- THC scopeNote "Thai Hang Tong (THC) is an alternative name used in Vietnam for Tai Pao (TPO) (FerlusRequest for Change to ISO 639-3 Language Code, page 3 2008). It is found in some Vietnamese-language publications, but is hardly ever used locally at present (“Tai Pao” is now the preferred form). Thus, Thai Hang Tong [thc] merged into Tai Pao [tpo]." language.
- CCA scopeNote "Glottolog lists Cauca as "unattested". It is presumed to be from the Cauca Valley, but no such language is known, unless it's the undemonstrated Quimbaya, which is attested in about 10 words. But there are doubts as to whether 8 of these two words are really attributable to the language of the Quimbaya ethnic group." language.
- WRD scopeNote "No known evidence exists that Warduji is a language. We have searched the internet, libraries, and the historical record that exists in the Ethnologue to try and find evidence for it. We have been unable to identify a single speaker either at the present time or in the past. Warduj is the name of a district in Badakhshan Province in northeast Afghanistan." language.

- LEG scopeNote "At the same time, it is not possible to understand one of the languages as a dialect of the other; that is, the existing code does not represent a 'major language'. From the Request for Change to ISO 639-3 Language Code, page 4 perspective of the whole family, the Enlhet and Enxet languages are of equal standing in relation to each other and to the other languages of the family." language.
- YIY scopeNote "Dr. Claire Bowern has done recent fieldwork in the area and provided us with exact centroid coordinates of the area where the languages are spoken, and although extrapolating language relationship from geographical proximity is sometimes dangerous the two distinct sets of centroid coordinates in this case supports the claim that the languages are separate. Thus, Yir Yoront [yiy] split into Yir Yoront [yyr] and Yirrk-Mel [yrm]." language.
- RNA scopeNote "Concerning this language, Alan Wares, in correspondence with Barbara Grimes (5/28/1971), wrote: "Delete, non-existent." The only source listed in the Ethnologue is "SIL 1977" and there is no further infomation available." language.
- ILW scopeNote "Talur should be listed as a dialect of Galolen [gal], with the hub in East Timor." language.
- XTZ scopeNote "Not only was Tasmanian not a single language, but it does not even appear to have been a single language family. Thus, Tasmanian [xtz] split into [xpv] Northern Tasman, [xph] North Midlands Tasman, [xpb] Northeastern Tasman, [xpd] Oyster Bay Tasmanian, [xpf] Southeast Tasma, [xpx] Southwestern Tasman, [xpw] Northwestern Tasmanian, [xpl] Port Sorell Tasman. and [xpz] Bruny Island Tasman." language.
- BKB scopeNote "The present reference name used with [bkb], Finallig, is erroneous; that name should be used to refer only to the dialect spoken in the community of Barlig, Mountain Province, the Philippines, and cannot appropriately be used to refer to the language of other closely related dialects of Eastern Bontok that are spoken in the Barlig municipality [thus, bkb split into Eastern Bontok [ebk] and Southern Bontok [obk] ]" language.
- KGD scopeNote "The current iso code of [kgd] conflates three language varieties, which we call Northern Katang [ncq], Southern Katang [sct] and Katang Ta'oiq, the last of which is properly viewed as a dialect of Upper Ta'oih [tth]." language.
- DRH scopeNote "Darkhat is in reality a dialect or regional accent variation of Mongolian Halh. When Darkhad speakers converse with Halh speakers from other regions they understand each other fully without difficulty. They consider their language to be Halh." language.
- XBA scopeNote "Since the ethnic population given for Kamba (2,000) matches that of Chiquitano [cax] in Brazil and the region given for Kamba matches the region for Chiquitano in Brazil, Kamba is most likely a duplicate of Chiquitano." language.
- AIS scopeNote "There is no language called Nataoran, and Nataoran is not a dialect, either. Nataoran is only the name of an Amis community." language.
- WIW scopeNote "Nauo, also known as Nawo, is a poorly attested, but clearly separate language from Wirangu (ISO 639-3: wiw). Thus, Wirangu [wiw] split into Wirangu [wgu] and Nauo [nwo]." language.
- JEG scopeNote "Sidwell & Jacq (2003) consider Oi [Oy], Sok, and Cheng [Jeng] to be dialects of the same language. In their West Bahnaric stammbaum, they explicity group Oi/Sok/Cheng as one West Bahnaric language (p. 10). Jeng [jeg] merged into Oy [oyb]." language.
- ADP scopeNote "Ethnologue lists Adap [adp] as a separate language but the area in which it is spoken falls under Dzongkha [dzo] in van Driem (1998) and the lexico-statistical similarity is consistent with Adap being simply a dialect of Dzongkha [dzo]." language.
- SZD scopeNote "As Hammerstrom notes, "It has been known for a century that the Sru were a fraction of the Ukit [umi] who happened to end up at Sru, and indeed, "every word . . . " in the wordlist of Bailey (1901) was understood by the Ukit [umi] "as belonging to their own language"." language.
- MYQ scopeNote "Forest Maninka” is a phantom language. I’m afraid, I’m partly guilty of its emergence: many years ago, I invented this term as generic for the continuum Manya – Konya – Odienne Jula, and later on, someone reinterpreted it as a language of a lower level." language.
- PUK scopeNote "From Chuck Fennig, "The main thing is that, for over 60 years, we have gained virtually no knowledge about this language"." language.

- VKI scopeNote "Ija-Zuba, although sharing a general identity as Koro, represent two languages that are linguistically different, with the Ija representing Koro Nulu and Zuba representing Koro Zuba. Thus, Ija-Zuba [wki] split into Koro Nulu [vkn] and Koro Zuba [vkz]" language.

- YUU scopeNote "[yuu] Yugh (Yug) and [yug] Yug (Sym-Ket) are the same language." language.
- BYY scopeNote "Buya [byy] is given as an unclassifed Southern Bantoid language of the DRC without a location. As with Borna [bxx], this too must emanate from Welmers (1971:788-789). Since that is the only source mentioning such a language with exactly that much (lack of) information. In all likelihood, Buya [byy] is a rendering of a DRC language already counted in another E16 entry, presumbly Buyu [byi]." language.
- CJR scopeNote "There was no separate Chorotega language. The Chorotega Indians were speakers of Mangue, which is the name proposed in a separate request to be used for the extinct language identified by [mom], currently called Monimbo." language.
- KDV scopeNote "Research conducted in 2008 showed that Kadu [zkd] and Kanan [zkn] speakers do not adequately understand each other's languages, and have to switch to Burmese in order to communicate with speakers from the other community. [Thus, Kado, kdv, should be deprecated.]" language.
- SAP scopeNote "Angaité [aqt] and Sanapaná [spn] are different on all of the above criteria. Indeed, the two languages are not mutually intelligible, and there is a clear ethnoliguistic distinction." language.
- NTS scopeNote "Any mention of Natagaimas [nts] is missing from all the major sources on South Request for Change to ISO 639-3 Language Code, page 3. American languages. Hammarstrom (2015) believes that both Coyaima [coy] and Natagaimas [nts] are simply place names and should be merged into Pijao [pij]." language.
- CKA scopeNote "Chin, Khumi Awa (cka) and Chin, Mro (cmr) should be merged into one code. The new name for this language should be changed to "Mro-Khimi"." language.
- BGM scopeNote "Binari & Mboteni are the two villages where the language known as Baga Binari, Baga Mboteni, or Baga Pokur is spoken. There are only minor dialectal differences between those from Binari and those from Mboteni. If the Ethnologue entry name is changed from Baga Binari (bcg) to Baga Pokur, Baga Mboteni [bgm] is a duplicate entry of the same language group and should be merged with [bcg]." language.
- PMC scopeNote "Grimes (1995: 3) indicates that Palumata (now extinct) was a dialect of Hukumina (also extinct). He lists alternate names for Palumata as Palamata, Balamata, and Pala Mada." language.
- MOF scopeNote "Narragansett and Wampanoag are treated separately in the linguistic literature. Given the certainty that Narragansett does not belong with Mohegan-Pequot and the uncertainty of whether or not it belongs with Massachusett, it seems a prudent idea to give Narragansett its own place within ISO 639-3. Thus, Mohegan-Montauk-Narragansett [mof] should be split into two elements--Mohegan-Pequot [xpq] and Narragansett [xnt]." language.
- GLI scopeNote "Hammarstrom (2015) states that the data on Kazukuru, an extinct language of New Georgia attested in wordlists, shows no more variation than expected if it was only one language (rather than three). Therefore, having three entries as in E16 Dororo [drr], Guliguli [gli] and Kazukuru [kzk] overproduces two entries (citing Dunn and Ross 2007). Dunn and Ross report that a 32-item wordlist purportedly from Guliguli shows 94% cognacy with Kazukuru." language.
- TID scopeNote "The two Tidung varieties proposed herein are different both structurally, lexically, and phonologically. Thus, Tidong [tid] split into Northern Tidung [ntd] and Southern Tidung [itd]." language.
- PUZ scopeNote "Both the languages have the same information on location and Population in most available resources. So it seems to be one language. Thus, Purum Naga [puz] merged into Purum [pub]." language.
- CQU scopeNote "The Ethnologue states that Chilean Quechua [cqu] "may be intelligible of, or same as, South Bolivian Quechua [quh]." The 2002 Chilean census records speakers of a language called Quechua. Adelaar reports that Quechua speakers in the Antofagasta province of Chile, while having no specific data on "this dialect," were likely speaking a variety that was "an extension of the Bolivian variety of Quechua" (Adelaar 2004:188)." language.
- BJD scopeNote "Bandjigali (bjd) is considered by Bowern (2011b), AUSTLANG, and Wafer and Lisserague (2008: 263, 276) to be one of many dialects of Paakanti [drl] and it should be merged with Paakantyi." language.
- PRY scopeNote "Pray 3 is actually a dialect of Prai found at Ban Wen." language.
- DAF scopeNote "Kla-Dan [lda] is different enough from the Dan [dnj] to make mutual intelligibility marginal; the percentage of cognates in Swadesh's 100-wordlist between Kla-Dan and different Dan dialects varies between 88 and 90%. Kla-Dan and Dan have no common literature; Kla-Dan speakers have an ethnolinguistic identity of their own, separate from the rest of Dan." language.
- KXE scopeNote "The Ethnologue has a Kakihum [kxe] entry, describing a West Kainji language of the Kambari group, as well an entry Western Acipa [awc] in the Kamuku group of West Kainji. Western Acipa [awc] is the language spoken in Kakihum (and the variety there could be labeled the Kakihum dialect of Western Acipa or Ticuhuun locally, see McGill 2009) and there is no different language spoken there except Tsuva'di [tvd]" language.
- DUD scopeNote "Hun-Saare should be split into two languages [ut-Hun, uth and us-Saare, uss]. What was assummed to be one language [dud] is two distinst languages which each have their own name for their language. These languages are not mutually intelligible." language.
- PLJ scopeNote "According to Decker and Aregbesola (2020), a forthcoming report available on request, the varieties identified as the Polci cluster is a combination of linguistically and socially different languages. Thus, Split into Pesse [pze], Nyamzak-Dir-Mbarimi [nzr], Zul [zlu], and Buli [uly]." language.
- MVM scopeNote "Eastern [emq] and Western Minyag [wmg] are mutually unintelligible. Speakers of each variety cannot communicate with each other and there is no central variety which speakers of both varieties understand." language.
- AAM scopeNote "Aramanik [aam] is listed as a Southern Nilotic language of the Nandi group, presumably because the Aramanik people assimilated to the Nandi. The original Aramanik language was a Cushitic language (or a non-Nilotic language with heavy Cushitic overlay) usually called Aasax (Fleming 1969) and is already included in a separate Aasax [aas] entry." language.
- TMK scopeNote "This report is attached to the email submission. Information already published in Ethnologue, based on the language survey by Varenkamp (1996), cites a lexical similarity of 94% with Western Trisuli Tamang [tdg]. It should be merged with [tdg] as a dialect." language.
- BHK scopeNote "The currently-existing "Bicolano, Albay" does not correspond to any of the accepted Bikol subgroupings, the most widely-recognized of which is McFarland (1974) which was also adopted by Zorc (1977). Jason Lobel, the supporter of this request, has also done extensive research on the languages of the Bikol region, and his findings largely support those of McFarland (1974) and likewise do not support a "Bicolano Albay" language that would include Buhi'non (ubl), Miraya (rbl), and Bikol Libon (lbl)." language.
- NOO scopeNote "The Ditidaht language is recognized as an individual language by the First Peoples' Heritage, Language and Culture Council. Thus, Nootka [noo] split into Ditidaht [dtd] and Nuu-chah-nulth [nuk]." language.
- DHA scopeNote "From an informal interview with a person who works in Chhattisgarh, the Dhanwar speak Chhattisgarhi and Marathi as their first language. As early as 1916 when Russell (2006:488) was first published, the Dhanwar did not speak a language of their own, but rather spoke Chhattisgarhi and Hindi." language.
- PLP scopeNote "n that review (2010 Nepal Audit), the following statement was made about Palpa: There is no known attestation for Palpa as a separate language, or even dialect, by the community or national census." language.
- BIJ scopeNote "the SIL Nigeria Survey Team lead by Yakubu Danladi visited Bijim [jbm], Luggere, Tiyaa [tyy], and Kadung [dkg] speaking villages. Luggere was reported to be a variety of Bijim while Tiyaa (formerly known as Ya) and Kadung are viewed as different languages." language.
- CUM scopeNote "Alan Wares, in correspondence with Barbara Grimes (5/28/1971), stated that Cumeral should be deleted as "non-existent." Moreover, the Ethnologue has not added any information to the Cumeral language entry in nearly 40 years. Mention of this language is missing from all the major sources on South American languages." language.
- PPR scopeNote "“At the head of Piru Bay, a very small number of elderly in Piru village still remember the indigenous language. Although Dyen (1978:392) was doubtful about the classification of this speech community, it can be demonstrated that Piru is a dialect of Luhu, a fact which Van Hoevell correctly stated in 1877." language.
- BXX scopeNote "Borna (Democratic Republic of Congo) [bxx], alternative name Eborna, is given as an unclassifed Southern Bantoid language of the DRC without a population estimate and without a location. The entry must emanate from Welmers (1971:786) since that is the only source mentioning such a language with exactly that much (lack of) information. Welmers' list, in turn, derives from sheets of African languages at the US Office of Education started in 1959 (Welmers 1971:761). Since these sheets were hand-written there is considerable likelihood that Borna is a misreading of Boma or eBoma [ebo]." language.
- PMK scopeNote "Pamlico is the name of a tribe (ethnonym) whose members spoke a dialect of Carolina Algonquian [crr]. Pamlico is sometimes used as an alternate name for Carolina Algonquian (Mithun 1999: 327, 333)." language.
- ZIR scopeNote "In 2004, Sheni [scv] native speakers insisted that their language was the same language as Ziriya. The last person to remember anything of the Ziriya language could recall some greetings and some numbers, all of which corresponded to Sheni, suggesting that the assertion that they were the same language is correct (Blench and Nengel 2004)" language.
- CBH scopeNote "Alan Wares, in correspondence with Barbara Grimes (5/28/1971), stated that Cagua should be deleted as "non-existent." Moreover, the Ethnologue has not added any information to the Cagua language entry in nearly 40 years. Mention of this language is missing from all the major sources on South American languages." language.

- AUE scopeNote "ǂKx'auǁ 'ein is a dialect of Juǀ 'hoan. The latest Gueldemann publication says it is a variety of Southeastern !Kung / Ju|'hoan." language.
- MST scopeNote "The present codes for Mandaya (mrt, mry, and mst) do not represent dialects of Mandaya but data collection points when Andrew Gallman was gathering data for his dissertation some 30 years ago. In reality it is all the same language with a purer Mandaya in the mountains and more of a mixed variety of Mandaya along the coast." language.

- NNX scopeNote "The Ethnologue has an entry Ngong [nnx] as well as an entry Nagumi [ngv], but Ngong is a village of Nagumi (Maddieson and Williamson 1975:132-133) and should not be a separate entry." language.
- TLW scopeNote "Taguchi, who originally stated that they are differen langauges, recently sent me an e-mail stating the following "My survey report in 1996-7 concluded that the North and South Wemale should be identified as two different languages. However, after many years of interactions of Wemale community people I learned and can now conclude that they can communicate with each other without difficulty. Thus, South Wemale [tlw] merged into North Wemale [weo]." language.
- KTR scopeNote "Dusun Tambunan [kzt], Kota Marudu Tinagas [ktr], Dusun Tempasuk [tdu], Coastal Kadazan [kzj] should be part of a single language called Kadazan Dusun or Dusun or Kadazandusun, not listed as separate languages." language.

- NBX scopeNote "We believe that Dr. Bowern's research and expertise on languages of Australia, as well as the support of the sources listed below are sufficient to define these as distinct languages. (Thus Ngura split into Badjiri [jbi], Eastern Karnic [ekc], Garlali [gll], Punthamara [xpt] and Wangkumara [xwk].)" language.
- DAP scopeNote "Tagin & Sulung tribes of Arunachal: A sociolinguistic survey, NLCI 2007 says that Tagin [tgj] nand Nisi [njz] are two different languages. Nisi language shows 54-60% of lexical similarity with Tagin." language.
- NGO scopeNote "Marginal intelligibility. No common literature. A "hard" border between the two with different offical languages (English/Swahili and Portuguese). Religion is also an indicator: Whereas the Tanzanian Ngoni are traditional or Christian, the Mozambican Ngoni are Muslim. (Thus split into Tanzanian Ngoni, Chingoni [xnj] and Mozambican Ngoni, Xingoni [xng])." language.

- SKK scopeNote "Sidwell & Jacq (2003) consider Oi [Oy], Sok, and Cheng [Jeng] to be dialects of the same language. Oy and Jeng share 95% lexical similarity, well above the threshhold for dialects on one language (p. 6). As for Sok, Sidwell & Jacq (2003) report that "they consider themselves as Oi [Oy] (Oi-Sok). Thus, Sok [skk] merged into Oy [oyb]." language.
