I see no problems here either. Obviously however interwiki links wouldn't work when the wiki doesn't exist yet (see also < https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Items_for_Wikime...
).

I don't see any reason why WD shouldn't allow all languages, and have often wondered why it doesn't already. So I would heartily support a recommendation like this.

Hoi, At the hackathon in Amsterdam I discussed the use of Wikidata for any and all languages.
I am of the opinion that Wikidata is not only a tool serving Wikipedias but it can be and will be so much more. It is for this reason that I propose that the language committee allows the use of any language in Wikidata that has an ISO-639-3 code.
This is explicitly including any and all artificial language and dead languages. I expect that one of the next phases of Wikidata will be using it for lexicon related functionalities including searching for pictures in Commons.
I hope you can agree with this and when we do, we can recommend this to the Wikimedia board. Thanks, Gerard
