Hi @vadan,

Thanks for submitting the feedback. Upon checking the issue, I was able to find Hakka Chinese if I searched "Chinese" in the search bar, and you will probably need to scroll down a little bit to see other results from the list.

The non-dialect variants are for built-in language conversion. That is, they are from the same wiki (zhwiki), serving the same contents, but in different writing systems. On the above list, only hak and classical are separated from zhwiki.

For the web interface, It is intentional to hide “zh”, “zh-hans” and “zh-hant” from the list, as they are non-localized variants. The same might have been applied to the app.
