List of book languages
Is there a list of the languages available in the Edit Metadata dropdown? Searching the source code in GitHub didn't bring up anything.

I noticed a few unexpected ones in the list...Klingon and Sindarin, and at least a few dozen sign languages (not even sure how that would work...pictographs? video-books?).

It is an ISO standard list (Kovid mentioned the number in a couple of threads. I am not gonna find those for you)

Sounds like ISO 639 to me.

ISO 639-3 to be a bit more precise according to this thread from last year: Adding Languages to Basic Metadata.

Looking back the the beginning of the thread, are you trying to say you are not fluent in Quenya, Sindarin and Klingon (spoken and written) and the zxx code (that one is might be a bit hard to write)?

Looking at the list (ISO 639 Code Tables), there are quite a few Individual and constructed languages in it.
