Incubator:ISO 639
Wikimedia does not decide for itself what is a language and what is a dialect. We follow the ISO 639 standard. Every Wikimedia language edition is required to have a valid ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-3 code. Every language with an ISO 639-1 code also has an ISO 639-3 code, but not vice versa.
http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.aspIf a 639-1 code is availabhttp://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.asphttp://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.asple, that one must be taken, otherwise the ISO 639-3 code. If none available, the language has no future on http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.aspWikพimedia, unless youถ [$$uhttp://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.asprlurl request a code] (Hoภwever, this can take a lot of http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.asptime).
