If a distinction between Western and Eastern Armenian needs to be 
approved, codes for those languages should be requested.

If you want a great swath of generic terms like Eastern Western 
Northern Southern Northeastern Northwestern Southeastern Southwestern 
Inner Outer Upper Lower Hill Plain Valley Cave Desert Jungle Central 
Peripheral Prestige Vulgar Urban Rural Village Town Male Female Adult 
Adolescent Child Sacred Profane Loal Diaspora etc etc etc etc etc etc 
etc etc etc etc etc, add them to 3066ter. This list is endless.
