For zh-HK there is a typo in the Region, I guess it should be Hong Kong.

Thanks for the catch

I'd like to point out that the tags for Chinese basically represent Mandarin (Mainland China) / simplified characters for zh-CH, Mandarin (Taiwan) / traditional characters for zh-TW, and Cantonese (Hong Kong) / traditional characters for zh-HK.

Although most systems haven't adopted it yet and still prefer the older above method, the recommended way is to use the new language tags cmn-CN, cmn-TW, yue-HK instead. There are actually more, like wuu-CN for Wu Chinese (among others).

I found this page very interesting:

Also, have you considered adding ko-KP for Korean (North Korea) and vi-VN for Vietnamese (Vietnam)? Well, I guess it's a never ending story...

es-CO it is Colombia, not Columbia

Thanks
