Permissible values
The syntax for preferredLanguage is derived fromBCP47:
| langtag | = language ["-" region] |
| language | = 2*3ALPHA ; shortest ISO 639 code |
| region | = 2ALPHA ; ISO 3166 code |
The language tag is composed of a primary language (two-letter ISO639 language code) and an optional region (two-letter ISO3166-1 alpha-2 country code).
