Should that not be "each of ... subtags ... has"?

With this particular example it should be noted that both
the spoken and the written languages are different. (So 'no'
would be better as a (rather small) collection than a
macrolanguage... Note that for Frisian, as similar "fix"
was made, but the old code was reassigned to one of the
languages.)

They weren't regarded as dialects, were they. See Doug's earlier
and later remarks on that (not quoted here).
