I have a question about Punjabi. ISO 639-2 gives "pan" as Punjabi. ISO 639-3
divides Punjabi into three separate codes:

pmu    Mirpur Panjabi
pnb    Western Panjabi
pan    Panjabi // called Eastern Panjabi in the Ethnologue.

It looks from this that according to ISO 639-3, there is no macro language
for Panjabi; Pakistanis don't speak "pan" (= "pa"), even as a macro language
they speak something else. So a language pa-PK (or locale pa_PK) is probably
a mistake. Is this a fair statement?
