I see now what you were talking about, and apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Most variant subtags that represent a dialect do tend to have values based on the dialect or its root language, modified to fit the 5- to 8-letter requirement. For example, we have 'creiss' and not something based on the French word “Croissant.” This is not a rule, however.
