Registration request for new subtags for Portuguese orthographies

[João Miguel Neves]

Hi Michael,

Sorry, just noted the "authoritative wordlist", that's available for
browsing at http://portaldalinguaportuguesa.org/advanced.php?action=browse

I hate the format, but it's the one in the Portuguese law.

Thanks in advance,
João
