['zh-classical'] = 'lzh', -- code not conforming to BCP 47, replaced by standard code also supported in interwiki
['bh'] = 'bho', -- legacy interwiki still supported but ambiguous as a family, newer code now supported as well in interwiki; 'bh' was used in Wikimedia to refer to Bhojpuri only and not the whole Bihari family
['bu'] = 'my', -- legacy code from ISO 639 deprecated, newer code is prefered and used as interwiki
['iw'] = 'he', -- legacy code from ISO 639 deprecated, newer code is prefered and used as interwiki
['jw'] = 'jv', -- legacy code from ISO 639 deprecated, newer code is prefered and used as interwiki

-- Standard BCP 47 codes that can still not be used in MediaWiki, and must be replaced for now by valid BCP 47 codes (ignoring the specific variant).
['en-us'] = 'en', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known (there's no support for the US variant which is implicit, unlike variants in CA, GB, IN, ZA)

['fr-x-galo'] = 'fr', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known

['ko-kr'] = 'ko', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known, regional variant used in South Korea (kr-kp for the variant in North Korea is supported)
['ku-latn'] = 'ku', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known, the Latin script is the default since the 1950's
['ku-cyrl'] = 'ku', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known, the Cyrillic script is still used
['no'] = 'nb', -- both codes are conforming and supported, but the 1st one is now used only for meaning the second one in MediaWiki
['prd'] = 'fa', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known; 'prd' is "Parsi-Dari", and means the same as 'fa-af'
['tgl'] = 'tl', -- both codes are conforming and supported, only the second one is known (but may have alternate forms written in the Tagal script and not Latin for modern Filipino)
-- Standard BCP 47 codes for variants that can still not be used in MediaWiki, and must be replaced for now by legacy codes, valid only in Wikimedia wikis but not conforming to BCP 47.

in these names (some Mld contain parameters like "| sk <!--Slovensko--> = ...") or "nowiki" tags.
After removing them, we still need to trim the rest in language codes and in descriptions, to
detect conflicting descriptions for the same language code.

Split multiple language codes (or default) assigned with the same description.
Valid BCP 47 language codes contain only ASCII letters, digits, hyphens or
underscores: canonicalize them to lowercase with hyphens replacing underscores
(other characters are considered separators between language codes).
