There are 472 language codes in ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2, the only parts
that currently exist outside of draft form.  So there are "only" 239 ×
472 = 112,808 syntactically legal language-region tags.

In addition, as Randy Presuhn said, the overwhelming majority of these
are like Addison and Mark's example of "ale-BE," syntactically legal but
unlikely to be of any real use.
