Ok. Unless someone have something against it, I'm going to use gn_BR

I guess you did. But do you think it would be a problem for speakers
of those different dialects to share the same code? Wouldn't they
understand each other?

I'm asking those questions because we have a good example here at GTP
with Spanish. Although people all over Latin America and at Spain
spell/pronounce some words differently they decide to have just one
team, since the written form for computing terms is not so different.
In a nutshell, they decided to join effort, to use their language to
join them, not do split them.

Do you think the same could be possible for the speakers of Guarani
here in Brazil, in Paraguay and other countries too?
