Revision 853766 of "Incubator:ISO 639/zh-hans" on incubatorwiki

<languages/>
Wikimedia does not decide for itself what is a language and what is a dialect. We follow the [[w:ISO 639|ISO 639]] standard. Every Wikimedia language edition is required to have a valid ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-3 code. Every language with an ISO 639-1 code ''also'' has a ISO 639-3 code, but not vice versa.

If a 639-1 code is available, that one must be taken, otherwise the ISO 639-3 code. If none available, the language has no future on Wikimedia, unless you [http://sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.asp request a code] (which can take a lot of time, however).

Here are some links to lists of those codes.
