Even Leopard (and Tiger, not sure about further back) has Klingon
(tlhlngan Hol)! Don't know about the ISO code for it though.
tlh is the ISO code for Klingon (tlhIngan Hol). Note that fictional
languages and scripts are considered perfectly acceptable for ISO and
Unicode as long as there is a real user community (which there is for
Klingon, oddly enough: http://www.amazon.com/Klingon-Hamlet-Lawrence-Schoen/dp/0671035789/)
. For another example, see: http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n1641/n1641.htm
In order to give this post *some* redeeming value, I should point out
that Mac OS X language tags are not (merely) ISO language codes. They
are BCP 47 (RFC 4646) language tags. ISO doesn't deal with variants
like en-GB or en-LOL -- those get registered with IANA.
I would think that "Hacker" would be "en-l33t" or something like that.
One could argue whether it's just a dialect, or a different script as
well.
OK, I think that's been enough of a waste of time for this topic...

The ISO is in the process of adding "en_LOL" for Lolcat, aka
Kitteh or Cat Pidgin[1]. (If you don't think there's a need for
this, consider what HTTP "Language:" header value should be used
by daringfurball.org or icanhascheezburger.com.)
I presume Jens was joking, but for a chuckle, go to Google web
search, hit "Preferences" and check out the Interface Language
preference. There are lots of real ones (be careful experimenting,
you may have trouble getting back to English!), but a few fakes as
well. LOLcat is, regrettably, not one of them, but they do have
Klingon, Hacker (notice what "Hacker" is when written natively),
and my personal favorite, Elmer Fudd.
