Language codes/Conflicts
From Meta
Below is a list of conflicts between 2 letter language codes and country codes. A conflict occurs when a country uses the same code as a language it does not actively use. Theoretically, country and language codes are orthogonal so the conflict does not exist, but practically, it could be a source of needless confusion.
