Criteria for ISO 639-2

The following criteria for defining new languages in ISO 639-2 has
been established by the ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee. It is
published in ISO 639-2, sections 4.1.1, 4.1.3, and A.2.1 and
supplemented by resolutions made by the Joint Advisory Committee.

* Number of documents.
The request for a new language code shall include evidence that one
agency holds 50 different documents in the language or that five
agencies hold a total of 50 different documents among them in the
language. Documents include all forms of material and is not limited
to text.

com: No - we don't fulfil.

* Collective codes.
If the criteria above are not met the language may be assigned a new
or existing collective language code. The words languages or other as
part of a language name indicates that a language code is a collective
one.
* Scripts.
A single language code is normally provided for a language even though
the language is written in more than one script. ISO DIS 15924 Codes
for the representation of names of scripts is under development by
ISO/TC46/SC2.
* Dialects.
A dialect of a language is usually represented by the same language
code as that used for the language. If the language is assigned to a
collective language code, the dialect is assigned to the same
collective language code. The difference between dialects and
languages will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

* Orthography.
A language using more than one orthography is not given multiple
language codes.
