The "code" field for natural language objects in Wikifunctions mixes different types of codes. Some are MediaWiki language codes, some are BCP 47 language codes. These are not fully compatible with each other, which makes it unclear how they should be interpreted, and in some cases, unclear what is meant.
MediaWiki contains mappings from its language codes to BCP 47-compatible ones in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/master/includes/language/LanguageCode.php. The codes in `DEPRECATED_LANGUAGE_CODE_MAPPING` plus `egl` are also MediaWiki languages, the rest are generally only used to create valid HTML `lang` attributes and not otherwise understood by MediaWiki.
Examples:
* {T360672}
* {T360673}
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1624
* Code: `ar-001`
* **Note**: `ar-001` is a BCP 47-compatible code used by CLDR but not MediaWiki.
* {T360675}
* {T360674}
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1124
* Code: `en-x-simple`
* Code aliases: `simple`
* **Note**: The MediaWiki code is `simple`. The equivalent BCP 47 code is `en-simple`. `en-x-simple` is a BCP 47-compatible code using a private use subtag.

* {T360676}
* {T360677}
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1782

https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1503
* Code: `bho`

* **Note**: `bho` is the BCP 47 code and preferred MediaWiki code. `bh` is a MediaWiki code which means Bihari in BCP 47.
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1346
* Code: `vro`
* Code aliases: `fiu-vro`
* **Note**: `fiu-vro` is a MediaWiki code. `vro` is the BCP 47 code and preferred MediaWiki code.
* **Note**: Previously duplicated, cf. [[https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Requests_for_deletions/Archive/2023/08#Z1346_&_Z1816|Z1346 & Z1816 discussion]] -- It was [[https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/abstract-wiki/wikifunctions/function-schemata/-/merge_requests/35|removed from function-schemata]] before merging onwiki.
* {T360679}
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z1229
* Code: `zh-classical`
* **Note**: `zh-classical` is a deprecated MediaWiki code. The BCP 47 code and preferred MediaWiki code is `lzh` (= [[https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1152|Z1152]]).
* **Note**: Currently also duplicated, cf. [[https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Requests_for_deletions#Z1152_&_Z1229|Z1152 & Z1229 discussion]]
* {T360678}
https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/de/Z1849
