No, it's other way around. The format is
xx_YY.zz
where
xx: ISO-639 lower-case two-letter language code;
YY: ISO-3166 upper-case two-letter country code + optional arbitrary
modifiers to indicate variants, separated by underscore characters;
zz: a string to indicate an encoding.
optional modifier part of YY and zz are vendor specific and there are
no standard.
