Misunderstanding. "en" & "de" is valid (ISO) as _language_names_
not as XPG locale names which is currently supported.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ proper names here!
Moving english primary to US is Americano-centrism. :-)
What happens, if you have f.e. two code tables for "ru" in one country?
This is exaple from real life.
Where "ru" will ponts in this case?
Then, what happens with two countries with same language, f.e.
French and Canada? Where "fr" will points in this case?
Better not use so confusing aliases.
