Script (writing system) independence
A major advantage of the numeric-3 codes over the ISO 3166 letter-based codes is script (writing system) independence; this independence comes of course at the cost of mnemonic convenience. A writing system is a type of Symbolic system used to represent elements or statements expressible in Language.
The letter-based codes used in ISO 3166 rely on Latin alphabet characters found in English and western European languages. For people and systems using non-Latin scripts (writing systems) – e. A writing system is a type of Symbolic system used to represent elements or statements expressible in Language. g. Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hangul, Japanese – Latin alphabet characters may be unavailable or difficult to use, understand or correctly interpret. The Arabic alphabet is the script used for writing several languages of Asia and Africa such as Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. The Bengali script ( Bengali: বাংলা লিপি Bangla lipi) is a variant of the Eastern Nagari script also used for Assamese and A Chinese character, also known as a Han character ( is a Logogram used in writing Chinese (hanzi Japanese ( The Cyrillic alphabet (səˈrɪlɪk also called azbuka, from the old name of the first two letters is actually a family of Alphabets, subsets of which are used by The Greek alphabet (Ελληνικό αλφάβητο is a set of twenty-four letters that has been used to write the Greek language since the late 9th or early The modern Japanese writing system uses three main scripts Kanji, characters of Chinese origin, Hiragana Numeric-based codes overcome these problems of script dependence.
Assignment of new numeric-3 codes
New numeric-3 codes reflect changes in country boundaries but not country names. If countries merge or split, new numeric codes are assigned for the affected countries. For example:
- East Germany (coded 278) and West Germany (coded 280) merged in 1990. The German Democratic Republic ( GDR; Deutsche Demokratische Republik DDR; commonly known in English as East Germany) was a Socialist state West Germany ( Inf German: Westdeutschland or West-Deutschland) was the common English name for the Federal Republic of Germany ( The unified Germany is coded 276 since then. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe.
- Eritrea (coded 232) broke away from Ethiopia (formerly coded 230) in 1993. Eritrea () ( Ge'ez: ኤርትራ ʾErtrā, Arabic: إرتريا Iritriya) officially the State of Eritrea, is a country in NOTE This intro is the result of careful NPOV work Please do not make potentially controversial edits to it without first discussing on the talk page Ethiopia is coded 231 since then.
If a country changes its name without territorial change, its numeric code remains the same. For example, when Burma was renamed Myanmar without territorial change, its numeric code 104 remained the same. Burma, officially the Union of Myanmar ( pjìdàunzṵ mjàmmà nàinŋàndɔ̀ is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia.
