Gerard,

Chavacano/Chabacano has different varieties or dialects including
Zamboangueño, the dialect with the largest number of speakers. Although
cbk is the ISO code, we decided to go with cbk-zam to distiguish Chavacano
de Zamboanga from the Caviteño, Ternateño and other varieties which are
almost extinct. cbk alone is ambiguous. Zamboangueño, the alternative name
is also ambiguous because it can mean both the residents of Zamboanga City,
Philippines and the dialect of this creole language. Therefore, cbk-zam is
fit to be the non-standardized ISO for Chavacano de Zamboanga wikipedia
(http://cbk-zam.wikipedia.org)

Muchisimas Gracias.
