We may have a problem which is similar with the one encountered with
alsatian: a lot of people use "de" not for the specific Standard
German language, but as a macrolanguage (even if it is not classified
as such in ISO 639-3) for all germanic languages.

This comes in part from the fact that many of these germanic languages
are typically not written (the native speakers write in Standard
German).
