IMO is a dialect, and not a “official” language.
Is Italian dialect of city of Milan, in the Lombardy region.
Somes of official language use ISO 639-1 and not ISO 639-3ISO 639-3 ISO 639-3 code is an international standard for language codes in the ISO 639 series. It defines three‐letter codes for identifying languages..
In many cases ISO 639-3 is used to also identify dialects, or ancient languages.
