- 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.
- 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.
- AGP scopeNote "No significant body of literature and research exists on these languages (see Paranan, PRF and Pahanan Agta, APF). Besides work being done by SIL linguists who have made clear that they feel that Pahanan Agta and Paranan are two different languages, Pahanan Agta and Paranan have been referred to as separate languages in the Robinson dissertation (see references), and will be treated as separate languages in the forthcoming Lobel dissertation as well as in a paper currently in preparation by Lobel and Robinson." 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.
- AJP scopeNote "Academic sources do not classify sedentary Levantine Arabic varieties into North and South. There is no evidence that North Levantine Arabic and South Levantine Arabic are linguistically well-defined entities. There is no separate development of the two varieties. In particular, native speakers do not define their language as “North Levantine” or “South Levantine”." language.
- AJT scopeNote "Judeo-Tunisian Arabic is a variety of Tunisian Arabic. It is true that it includes three regional varieties (Goulette, Sousse and Djerba). It is also true that it has several phonological and morphological distinctive characteristics that distinguish it from other Tunisian varieties. However, other dialects of Tunisian Arabic also have distinctive features that separate them from the Tunis dialect of Tunisian Arabic. That is why I propose to consider Judeo-Tunisian Arabic as a dialect of Tunisian Arabic." language.
- AOH scopeNote "The Ethnologue has the following comments: "People spoke either Cenu or Cauca (both extinct)". Cenu is totally undocumented and Cauca [cca] is also unattested. Glottolog lists Arma as "unattested"." 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.
- 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.
- AYX scopeNote "This is the same language as "Nung" [nun], whose name should be changed to "Anong." language.
- AYY scopeNote "Glottolog lists Tayabas Ayta as "unattested". Regarding Tayabas Ayta, Jason Lobel (2013) states that "no linguistic data exists for any language that the ancestors of this group might have once spoken. And thus, there is no evidence that this group ever had a language distinct from any other Philippine language."" language.
- BAZ scopeNote "All published (and unpublished) research has considered Tunen (tvu) and Nyokon (nvo) two distinct groups. Lexicostatistical studies have shown that the linguistic similarity between the two speech varieties (Tunen and Nyokon) is so low that there is no possibility of inherent understanding." language.
- BBZ scopeNote "The inclusion of this language came about from a misunderstanding of a study of Chadian Arabic. No one else has ever reported the presence of a unique language among these people." 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- BJQ scopeNote "The Tesaka [tkg] have never been part of the Antanosy or Betsimisaraka [bzc] in any way whatsoever - they ended up erroneously as an alternate name for the Betsimisaraka." 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.
- BLG scopeNote "Balau seemingly was never a distinct language, but rather a somewhat-central Sarawak Iban dialect. Its presence in the ISO 639-3 codeset seems due to its appearance on the 1983 Linguistic Atlas of the Pacific Area as an Iban "sub-dialect"." language.
- BMY scopeNote "Bemba [bmy] is listed as an unclassifed Bantu language of South Kivu province in the DRC. A more precise location is not given. It is difficult to interpret this entry as anything other than a duplication of the Bembe [bmb] entry - a relatively well-known Bantu language of the Lega complex in South Kivu province." language.
- BPB scopeNote "Ethnologue lists Barbacoas, with an alternate name of Pasto. Glottolog lists Barbacoas as "unattested". Loukotka (1968) indicates that no linguistic data has been published for Barbacoas, also known as Colima (p.247)" 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.
- BTL scopeNote "Shukla (1986:22) says that Bhatola does not exist. This language does not appear in the listing of Scheduled Tribes (Singh 1997). The Ethnologue has no information on the language, reporting that it is unclassified. Hammarstrom (2015) agrees with the assessment that the language does not exist." 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- CCQ scopeNote "Both Chaungtha [ccq] and Yangbye [ybd] refer to similar varieties within the Rakhine (rki) language. The speakers of these dialects identify themselves as "Rakhine"." language.
- CDG scopeNote "Glottolog lists Chamari as "unattested". Hammarstrom (2015) states that the Chamari [cdg] entry describes the Chamaar caste, but the Chamari do not have a language of their own, citing Russell and Hiralal 1916." 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.
- 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.
- CMK scopeNote ""Chimakum" is just an alternate spelling for Chemakum, which is the more common spelling in the linguistic literature. However, since it has been listed with this spelling in the Ethnologue, it is probably appropriate to include this alternate spelling in the standard [xch]." language.
- COY scopeNote "In Loukotka (1968: 218--219), it is stated that Pijao (Pinao) [pij], classified as a Cariban language, was "once spoken ... in the villages of Orrega, Coyaima and Natagaima." Loukotka indicates that Coyaima (Tupe) [coy] is an extinct Carib language in the Yupe (Yukpa group)." 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.
- CUG scopeNote "Mbuk appears to be closely related to Chung, and change request 2016-006 implicitly treats them as dialects of a single language, though it was primarily presented as a request for a change in reference name. However, at the time of the request, no published research existed establishing that Chung [cnq] and Mbuk [bpc] were varieties of a common language. Tschonghongei's 2020 thesis on Mbuk now provides evidence that each should be treated as a separate language, which is why we now request a code for Mbuk." 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- DEK scopeNote "In his discussion of Tessman (1928), Moñino (1995: 709) concludes that the Dek are identical with the Suma [sqm], living north-west of Bossangoa in the CAR." language.
- DGU scopeNote "Glottolog lists Degaru as "unattested". Hammarstrom (2015) states that "can only match the caste Dhekaru who are not known to have a separate language", citing Mitra 1953." 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.
- DIT scopeNote "Merged into [dif] Dieri" language.
- DJL scopeNote "Split into Djiwarli [dze] and Thiin [iin]" language.
- DKL scopeNote "Mombo [dmb] and Ampari [aqd] are separate non-intercomprehensible varieties, which, however, are genetically much closer to each other than to any other Dogon language." 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.
- 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.
- DUJ scopeNote "Dhuwaya has been identified as a Koine or 'communilect' of the Yirrkala community, and the author of the most comprehensive description of the language. It also does not fit the clan/family classification of other Dhuwal languages. Removing Dhuwaya from the existing classification of Dhuwal requires a reassignation of the code for Dhuwal varieties [dwu and dwy]." language.
- DWL scopeNote "Walo Kumbe Dogon [dwl] split into Dogon, Bankan Tey (Walo) [dbw] and Dogon, Ben Tey (Beni) [dbt]" language.
- ELP scopeNote "There are two languages on the Elpaputih Bay which may have been included in the Elpaputih language amq (Amahai), plh (Paulohi). These two languages are now nearly extinct. It seems probable that the lack of information caused Voeglin & Voeglin to erroneously suggest that Elpaputih was it's own language." language.
- EMO scopeNote "An Emok language (classified as extinct) in fact never existed. Emmo'ok is not the name of a language; it means simply 'our neighbour' in the languages of the Enlhet-Enenlhet family. This explains why we have found no instances of a supposed Emok language" language.
- GAV scopeNote "Lexical similarity percentages support the fact that Gabutamon village is part of the Domung dialect chain. The map shows that Gabutamon is as closely related to Domung villages as the other Domung villages are to each other." 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.
- GGN scopeNote "Eastern Gurung [ggn] should be merged with Western Gurung [gvr] and listed as one language, "Gurung."" 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.

- GJI scopeNote "Geji [gji] split into Gyaazi [gyz], and Bu (Bauchi State) [zbu]" 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.
- GTI scopeNote "The Ethnologue lists Gbati-ri [gti] as a separate language, but the only source on this language (Hackett and van Bulck 1956:74) has it as a dialect of Nyanga-li [nyc]." language.
- GUV scopeNote "The Ethnologue states (under Duli [duz]): "Might be the same as Gey [guv]." Harald Hammarstrom (2015) has cited evidence these are the same language." language.
- HRR scopeNote "The original criteria for including Horuru in the ethnologue as a separate language seem to be outweighed by the data that suggests that the name is Haruru and is simply a dialect of Yalahatan." language.
- IAP scopeNote "There is no evidence that this language exists. No information has been added to the Ethnologue since the 1980s. Mention of this language is missing from all the major sources on South American languages." language.
- IBI scopeNote "The change I am proposing is that Ibilo [ibi] be changed from being a language within [Edo-Esan-Ora, North Central, Edoid, Benue-Congo, Volta-Congo, Atlantic-Congo, Niger-Congo], and be moved to being a dialect of Okpamheri [opa], located within the Northwestern Edoid branch." language.
- ILL scopeNote "The code ill represents the Iranun language of the Philippines [ilp]. It also represents the language of the Iranun in Sabah Malaysia [ilm]. These are separate and distinct but related languages in the same family." language.
- ILW scopeNote "Talur should be listed as a dialect of Galolen [gal], with the hub in East Timor." language.
- IME scopeNote "Since there is insufficient evidence to posit a past or present separate language for the Imeraguen, the language should be removed." language.
- IZI scopeNote "Izii [izz], Ezaa [eza], Ikwo [iqw], Mgbolizhia [gmz]: these languages are not mutually intelligible." language.
- JAR scopeNote "Jarawa [jar] split into Gwak [jgk] and Bankal [jjr]. Intelligibility and lexical similarity between Bankal and Gwak are marginal." 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- KGC scopeNote "Over the years there has been considerable confusion between Kasseng [kgc], Talieng [tdf], and Tareng [tgr]. Kasseng is an exonym for Talieng. Kasseng should be merged with Talieng." 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.
- KGH scopeNote "Since there is no compelling evidence to differentiate Upper Tanudan from Lower Tanudan [kml], this change request is submitted." language.
- KGM scopeNote "The name Karipúna (Karipuna do Amapá) generally refers to a variant of Palikúr [plu] in earlier references (Gallois and Ricardo 1983). A short word list attests to the fact that Karipúna is a Palikúr variety (Loukotka 1963)." 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.
- KOJ scopeNote "Sara Dunjo [koj] is listed as a separate language, but our only information on Dunjo (Tucker and Bryan 1956:57, Caprile 1981:239) in the past century claims that it is a dialect (of the city Njounjou) of the language in the Sara Kaba Naa [kwv] entry (where indeed Dunje is listed as a dialect)." language.
- KOX scopeNote "Alan Wares, in correspondence with Barbara Grimes (5/28/1971), stated that Coxima should be deleted as "non-existent." Moreover, the Ethnologue has not added any information to the Coxima language entry in nearly 40 years. Mention of this language is missing from all the major sources on South American languages." language.
- KPP scopeNote "The entry for Karen, Paku contained Mobwa as a dialect in the past. However, speakers of Mobwa report low inherent intelligibility with Paku. Based on low reported comprehension and separate identities, it seems that Mobwa [jkm] should be considered a separate language from Paku [pku]. In addition, Mobwa is treated as a distinct variety from Paku in the linguistic literature." language.
- KRM scopeNote "Krim or Kim and Bom are dialects of the same language [bmf] based on survey work done by Dr. Tucker Childs." language.
- KSA scopeNote "Rishiwa [rsw] and Kizamani [izm] (previously known as Shuwa-Zamani) are two separate languages." language.

- KWQ scopeNote "Kwak [kwq] appeared as Nkwak in the 1992 Index of Nigerian Languages (Crozier and Blench 1992), but was withdrawn from the 3rd edition (Blench 1999) since it had been discovered as a place in in the Hyam area13. In E17, Kwak is listed as a dialect of Yamba [yam]." 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.
- KXL scopeNote "The Kurux varieties spoken in Nepal and India are considered by the speakers to be one language. This unified ethnolinguistic identity is supported by the linguistic similarity between the varieties and intelligibilty tests conducted in Nepal, which indicate adequate to high intelligibility of Kurux as spoken in India." language.
- KXU scopeNote "The general idea is that the Kui spoken in Gajam, Khandamal, Gajapathi and other districts of Odisha is the same, but, as we started to engage with this language, we heard response from the people that there are lot of differences between the Kui spoken in Khandamal [uki] and Gajapati [dwk] districts." language.
- KZH scopeNote "Both language communities claim different identities, however all Nile Nubians, i.e Nobiin speakers, Dongolawi speakers and Kenzi speakers, claim inheriting the former Nubian identity, heritage and civilization. The two languages are claimed, beside other dialects, as dialects of the Old Nubian language, but the difference between the two is to the level that, they can't be claimed or considered as one." language.

- LBA scopeNote "Based on information given by Nathan Statezni (email exchange with Daniel Bruhn, researcher at University of California - Berkeley), Lui (Looe) is referred to as "people of Manipur … speaking three languages/dialects: Andro, Sengmai, and Chairel"." 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.
- LII scopeNote "In the Ethnologue, Lingkhim [lii], is listed as a separate Western Kiranti language, but the Saam [raq] entry already represents the Western Kiranti language of Lingkhim (a place name, see van Driem 2001:623, 704-705), so the Lingkhim entry is spurious." language.
- LLO scopeNote "In January, 2018 I happened to be sitting next to a man from Sekong province. I asked him about Klor and to my shock and his, he reported that he himself was Klor. He confirmed that it is pronounced [klɔːr] with no aspiration and that the langauge is spoken only in Ko' [kɔʔ] village. He reported that Klor is completely mutually intellibile with Kriang and that he considers the Klor to be Kriang." language.
- LMM scopeNote "There is no Lamam language in Cambodia. The Ethnologue improperly moved it to Vietnam, but there is already a Romam language in Vietnam. The Romam in Vietnam is confined to one village, numbering between 200-400 people in Le village, Mo Rai commune." language.
