Some Persian (Farsi) language books are classified as Faroese
hornc opened this issue · comments
Problem
Various books previously had the language code far, which is a LOC MARC deprecated code for Faroese https://openlibrary.org/languages/far
I have remapped these to the new Faroese code fao
Some of these books were in Farsi rather than Faroese. I think they would have been incorrectly categorized previously.
I thought maybe far was a correct code in some systems, but fas is the ISO 639-3 code. per is the LOC MARC (and ISO 639-2) code. I think far for Farsi is a non-systematic but understandable typo/error so there shouldn't be too many to fix 🤞🏽
Putting this here so I can sort it out later. (ideally while listening to Eivør Pálsdóttir, and Otagh Band, from my standard playlist...)

I think there are only a handful of these (<20 ?). This search includes many of them:

I may have missed one or two, but I think I've sorted them out.
Thank you @bilch, this looks good to me now too.
Closing as completed.
