Hi Saroj, This discussion list is not responsible for the various ISO standard code sets; we only monitor the changes in ISO standards to reflect them in the language subtag registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry). The institution responsible for maintaining ISO 639-1 is Infoterm (http://www.infoterm.info/standardization/iso_639_1_2002.php), you can try and contact them but it is unlikely that they will consider new codes for adoption. I don’t know what the exact criteria are but it is very, very rare that codes are added to ISO 639-1. There are a few hints about what the criteria are on the website of the US Library of Congress that is the maintenance agency for ISO 639-2 (http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/faq.html#13).
