Agreed, the 'pt' in the variant subtag is very ugly indeed!

The list of prefixes will contain 'pt', and the description will contain 
the word Portugese. If you want to search for the variant subtags that 
can be used with German, a textual search for "Prefix: de".
A search for 'de' (as a whole word) is a bit less efficient, but only 
because of descriptions such as "Lengua de Señas del Paraguay". 'pt' 
does not have that problem.
