Really? I can’t find anything about it in RFC 5646; -5 code elements are mentioned explicitly as primary language subtags in section 2.2.1. They can’t be extlangs, though. In any case, [hyx] is present in the language subtag registry, with the description “Armenian (family)”. > If the RA decides > to create a macrolanguage code for Armenian (macrolanguage), that's another > matter, but they haven't done so. (Michael seems to have pre-empted their decision, by the way.)
