Those are pretty much dead languages though.  FWIU there is a plan to
create a macrolanguage for them, and it's stalled for whatever reason --
perhaps because of the need for coordination with the 639-2 RA.

(This doesn't include the four modern Hellenic languages:  Standard
Greek, Tsakonian, Pontic, and Cappadocian, which really need yet another
macrolanguage.)
