According to Wikipedia [1] linguists consider Valencian a dialect not a
language and it doesn't have an ISO 639 language code (like Catalan
does). But OTOH it's already used elsewhere.

Technically speaking the locale file is of course trivial so it should
be decided whether locales which have no corresponding ISO 639 language
code are ok for glibc these days (that was not the case in the past).
