There are others:
xx-bork -- Bork, bork, bork!
xx-elmer -- Elmer Fudd
xx-klingon -- Klingon (could have used tlh)
xx-piglatin -- Pig Latin
as well as some questionable decisions:
* tl for Filipino (tl = Tagalog; fil = Filipino; admittedly a border
case)
* zh-CN for Chinese (Simplified) and zh-TW Chinese (Traditional),
instead of script subtags
* sh for Serbo-Croatian as well as the newer and preferred sr for
Serbian, hr for Croatian, and bs for Bosnian
* iw for Hebrew and jw for Javanese -- possibly influenced by that awful
page on the Unicode site that encourages the use of language codes
