    Not that I'm aware of.

    Certainly not. rfc4646bis-02 is a draft ("work in progress") and very
    much in flux. It has no authority. The only stable reference is RFC
    4646, which includes only ISO 639-1 and -2 (AFAIK, ISO 639-3 is not out
    yet).

    Sorry for the bad news, but it seems there is currently no standard
    way to represent the fact that not all chinese languages are
    "the chinese language".
