It is right, because BCP 47 defers to ISO 639 for language subtags,
and ISO 639 defers to Ethnologue for the definitions of currently spoken
natural languages.

> If yes, please add Alsatian in the official registry, 

This appeal should properly be addressed to ISO 639-2/RA by email at
iso639-2@loc.gov, and/or to ISO 639-3/RA by following the instructions
at http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/submit_changes.asp .  No one else can
help you -- in particular, this mailing list cannot.
