Hi Eduardo,

 

Please read the relevant text:

 

http://www.inter-locale.com/ID/draft-ietf-ltru-registry-14.html 

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ltru-registry-14.txt       

 

The short answer is “no”

 

The longer answer is that ISO 639-3 is envisioned for inclusion by revising
RFC 3066bis once ISO 639-3 is finished and official and alpha4 codes are
reserved for the possible future inclusion of ISO 639-6 (essentially the
Linguasphere codes). The place to discuss making changes to include these
codes is the LTRU working group of the IETF.

 

If you need a specific language code and it isn’t in the language subtag
registry today, you can propose a code for it and it will be registered or
not on its individual merits.

Hello!
I might need to register some language subtags.
This is for a statistical study. 
Most are in the ISO 639-3 project.
Others are in Linguasphere.
Is this possible?
If it is proposed, will it be appealed?
