There's also:

- `nrm` - currently described as Norman, but that code is assigned to Narum. 
It's not clear whether Norman has its own code. The closest is `nrf` (Jèrriais, 
Guernésiais) which are two of the dialects. It was created in 
http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/chg_detail.asp?id=2014-024 where someone 
requested `jrs` for Jèrriais but ISO 639 decided against assigning a code 
specifically for Jèrriais because they consider it and Guernésiais to be 
dialects of the same language. Instead they created `nrf`. That implies to me 
that `nrf` is supposed to mean Norman even if that's not one of the names they 
list for the language.

- `cbk-zam` - Chavacano de Zamboanga, a variety of Chavacano that doesn't have 
its own code or language subtag
- `roa-tara` - Tarantino, which also doesn't have its own code or language 
subtag

The code for Serbian is `sr` (or `srp` for the 3-letter version, but we 
currently use 2-letter codes when available). `src` is Logudorese Sardinian. :) 
The labels for `sr-el` and `sr-ec` are simply "Serbian (Latin script)" and 
"Serbian (Cyrillic script)", I would have expected `sr-latn` and `sr-cyrl` 
because it doesn't say it has to be the Ekavian variant and there are no 
options for other variants.

The country code for Moldova is `MD` (`MO` is Macau).
The situation for `mo` is kinda weird. The (now closed) Moldovan Wikipedia is 
entirely in Cyrillic, and apparently the pages were copies of articles from the 
Romanian Wikipedia converted to Cyrillic, so any of the labels which came from 
there are `ro-cyrl`. Then there are a couple of thousand Latin labels for `mo`, 
most of which are identical to the current Romanian label. All the ones I've 
looked so far which aren't the same are cases where a bot copied `ro` to `mo` 
ages ago and `ro` was later updated. I wonder if it would actually be better to 
create `ro-cyrl` for the Cyrillic ones and merge the remaining `mo` things into 
`ro`? (in most cases we don't have separate variants for different countries, 
and in the few cases we do, they're really hard to maintain, so I would be in 
favour of avoiding `ro-md` unless it's really needed)
