I think these references are out-of-date, or incorrect. They also
appear to focus on Uzbekistan population of Crimean Tatars, whereas
they now have an official status in Crimea, Ukraine, and appear to
have largely migrated from the exile in Uzbekistan back to Crimea. I
found the following reference:
"139. Cyrillic alphabet is absolutely unacceptable for the Crimean
Tatar phonetic and grammar system. Kurultay of Crimean Tatar People
unanimously had decided in1991 to restore the Latin alphabet as the
most comfortable for the Crimean Tatar language. The Crimean Tatar
deputies group in Crimean parliament in 1997 had achieved the positive
voting on this question..."

Isn't there already sr_CS@ije locale? Since ije isn't fully spelled
out there, wouldn't that mean that @iqtel is also an acceptable
candidate? I don't have much against @iqtelif, except that it takes 2
more characters, and they appear to be safely skippable, as there is
enough clarity in 5 characters, and no risk of a future conflict. In
short, the motivation is to reduce typing a little.
Thanks.
