Hoi,
Any ISO 639-3 language is admissible. HOWEVER, it only makes sense to add
languages when there is a use case. When someone is interested in adding
content in a particular language, the language committee is happy to allow
for this. There is one proviso; when it becomes clear that content in a
specific language is not representative of that language all the content
will be removed..
Thanks,
GerardM
