[edit] Wikipedia edition codes

Each Wikipedia has a code, which is used as subdomain below wikipedia.org. Interlanguage links are sorted by that code.

The codes mostly correspond to the language codes defined by ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3, and the decision which to use mostly is in accordance with the IETF language tag policy.

One code is not a language code ('be-x-old'), but refers to a specific orthography.

Some deviations:

WP edition name	WP code	Code meaning in ISO 639
Alemannic	als	unrelated: Tosk Albanian
Ripuarian	ksh	Kölsch, one variety of the Ripuarian language
Bokmål	no	Norwegian in general, i.e. Bokmal ('nb'/'nob') and Nynorsk ('nn'/'nno'). Nynorsk correctly uses 'nn'
Albanian	sq	macrolanguage with four individual languages.
Malay	ms	macrolanguage that includes more than 30 individual languages
Bihari	bh	collective code 'ISO 639:bih' includes Bhojpuri bho, Maithili mai, Magahi mag and nine others [1]
Võro	fiu-vro	Not an ISO code.
Aromanian	roa-rup	Not an ISO code. 'roa' is Romance (Other).
Min Nan	zh-min-nan	Not an ISO code. 'min' is unrelated.
Samogitian	bat-smg	Not an ISO code. 'bat' is Baltic (Other), 'smg' is Simbali language.
Tarantino	roa-tara	Not an ISO code. 'roa' is Romance (Other).
Toki Pona	tokipona	Not an ISO code. As per this discussion, the Tokipona Wikipedia is locked.
Simple English	simple	Not an ISO code

Dutch Low Saxon	nds-nl	Not an ISO code. nds is 'Low Saxon', restricted to Germany in Ethnologue. The Low Saxon dialects in the Netherlands have their own ISO codes.
Zamboanga Chavacano	cbk-zam	Not an ISO code, 'cbk' is Chavacano. zam is unrelated Miahuatlán Zapotec.
