yeah, appearently, every directory has to have its own country names, better start making your own. wait, dmoz stole theres from earlier directories too, damn them

I don’t think that you folks quite grasp the concept. A list of the countries of the world is more or less fixed.

There are over 2000 world languages with a written language. That Mr Scott chose the same languages (except for one) for his directory is quite incredible.

John, we looked at the category structure of many different directories in developing the BlueFind category structure. A lot of our categories are heavily (and I do mean heavily) inspired by Yahoo.

It's been a while since we created the categories you refer to, but if they are similar to DMOZ, then it's probably a good list of popular languages.

If you have a problem with that, sue me.
