Hi!

As far as I can see, you are the only person who ever submitted any translations into the language whose ISO 639 code is "twd".

In our configuration, the spelling of this language's name is "Tweants". It was added to the configuration many years ago, possibly by @Siebrand, but maybe by somebody else. It was before the configuration files versions were properly managed.

I am gradually trying to clean up our configuration files and make sure that the spelling of the language names is correct and properly referenced. I am not sure about the "Tweants" spelling. I cannot find this spelling almost anywhere—not in English, not in Dutch, and not in this language itself. I mostly see the spelling "Twents".

I also wrote about it at w:en:Talk:Tweants dialect#Tweants or Twents

I don't have a strong opinion about it myself. If you have a reference to some websites or academic articles that prefer this spelling or the other, I'd be happy to have them. I don't know who else to ask :)
