Registration request for new subtag 'barla'

[Mats Blakstad]

The way I see it we only need BARLA to indicate the Barlavento dialect. As
the Santiago dialect is the most used (Dialect of the capital, Praia), this
is what most people will expect to get when using KEA, make anther subtag
for Sotavento might be Redundant. However, the way I understand it, KEA
could actually be any dialect of Kabuverdianu. We could also add SOTAV as
variant subtag for Sotavento dialect group. But are these subtags then
mandatory/recommended? Do you have guidelines for this issues? If you have
clear guidelines for this, the issue should be easy to solve. For our
website we will only need to have one new subtag to seperate the
translations, but of course it is good to get it done correctly from the
start.

"There is low mutual intelligibility between the dialects"
No, this sentence don't need to be in the comments field.

I will add an updated request for subtag when we have found out if it is
best practice to have one or two subtags.
