Hoi,

Absolutely. There is no reason why en-AU or en-US are not valid and cannot be used in WIkidata for monolingual text.. That is a particular property in Wikidata. What is a problem is that at the same time codes are given a meaning that does not follow our language policy. The policy exists to prevent the abomination of using codes for something different.

Thanks,

GerardM

For what purpose? What context? You have given no information about the requester or the request.

en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-IE, en-NZ, en-US, and en-ZA are the usual ways of doing these things.
