0. According to the "Requirements for a new language code" linked above, the WIP requirement for a new language code is a valid IETF tag not a valid ISO code
- Macrolanguages in ISO 639-3 are still individual languages in ISO 639-2, and definition of macrolanguage in ISO 639-3 is "clusters of closely-related language varieties that [...] can be considered distinct individual languages, yet in certain usage contexts a single language identity for all is needed". and thus macrolanguages should be treated as an lanuage with valid language code. And mn is a valid code and is currently used by Mongolian wikipedia, which also contain several articles written in traditional Mongolian script.
- See BCP 47 section 2.1.1 for details about uppercasing. https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47
- both khk, mvf, bua and xal can be written with Latn, Cyrl and Mong.
- mn-Mong is not only used for mvf.
- BCP 47 also stated that macrolanguage code can still be used instead of code for encompassed languge
- you can see mn_Mong_CN is a likely subtag in http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/likely_subtags.html
- You can see mn-Mong listed in IANA language subtag registry http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry (listed as redundant as it have the correct form and format defined by RFC4646 and all the subtag it used are defined in the document. See RFC4645 for detail.)
