Talk:ISO 3166-2:ES

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should the "Autonomous communities" be included on this page? The codes don't seem to fit the format, although they are mentioned on the ISO newsletters. --Phil | Talk 11:15, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

=================================
[edit]

In Spain, Spanish is everywhere an official language, there are no regions where the regional language is the sole official language. They are co-official.

[edit]

The page is just wrong, as is the page for Albania (and maybe others). The codes do fit the format, it is simply that in some cases 3166-2 describes a hierarchy and in those cases the top level codes are shown stripped of their country prefix.

3166-2:ES describes three types of entity. autonomous communities, provinces categorised by autonomous community, and African cities.

Sorted alphabetically by province within community, the correct situation for Spain is:

Autonomous Community (#provinces)Province(s)
ES-ANAndalucía (8)ES-ALAlmería
  ES-CACádiz
  ES-COCórdoba
  ES-GRGranada
  ES-HHuelva
  ES-JJaén

ES-VCValenciana, Comunidad (3)ES-AAlicante
  ES-CSCastellón
  ES-VValencia
Autonomous cities in North Africa (2):ES-CECeuta
  ES-MLMelilla

Note that with the exception of the Balearics (IB/PM), whenever a Community maps to a single province the upper and lower level codes are the same. Additionally the above table shows the correct labels which are also a key part of the Standard!

Hope that helps. Can somebody please rewrite the article accordingly? Chris Dent
