Regardless of any external language codes (we

wikis for all the languages under any of the aforementioned schemes),
it all comes down to an issue of who contributes. If a language had
*no* official codes or recognition by linguists, but 500 contributors,
it will probably be more successful than any officially recognized
language that only has one or two contributors.
Although if a language *does* have an official language code and linguists that
that recognize it, then there should never be a question that we should start a
Wikipedia in that language soon after somebody volunteers to translate the
interface. Very few contributers or not.
Minus that, then we should look at a more complicated mix of considerations
(and the number of contributors idea is a good thing to look at).
All IMO, of course.
