When you read the phrasing about languages, you will find that an ISO-639 code is a requirement. This does however not imply at all that it guarantees the creation of a project. With the ISO-639-6 it is likely that there will be a code for the American orthography (among others) for the English language. This will not imply at all that it will be ok to split the English language Wikipedia.
I was merely suggesting that if we take ISO-639 to be our basis as to what is a language and what is not a language, Klingon passes the mark. Your American English example isn't quite the same since American English still has an expression in Wikimedia project. At the moment, the Klingon language has no representation on any Wikimedia project (effectively).
