As pointed out clearly in the "common xml locale repository" paper[1] from ICU, Page 3:
"Language and Territory codes follow ISO-639 and ISO-3166 respectively". See also the RFC 3066 - Tags for the Identification of Languages: 2.2 Language tag sources - All 2-letter subtags are interpreted as ISO 3166 alpha-2 country codes from [ISO 3166]. Look, the standard is *international* and should be followed. btw: to people from China Taiwan who start the needless flame war here: check the source of locale data from ICU[2], why won't you go against IBM, but against Debian here? Just because you saw it and don't like it?
