There's a large number of formalized subsets of languages, which are
generally characterized by being fully intelligible to speakers of the
language of which they are a subset of. Even if they aren't exactly
dialects, I don't see the point in labeling them as separate languages and
trying to get them into ISO 693-3 instead of just tagging them here.
