The attached screenshot shows the English variants recognised by calibre's default English dictionary, and the dictionary I use. Seems odd to me that two of the five members of the so-called Anglosphere are excluded from the default English dictionary - plus the former Dominion of South Africa

If you opened:

For example, I ran across one book years ago where it was accidentally marked "fr" (French) instead of "en" (English). - - - Side Note: Another symptom of something wrong with an ebook's language is if you see:

HTML lang is used for so much stuff now! See my famous post in the "<i>, <em> or <span> for italics ?" thread explaining all the use-cases. Multi-Language spellchecking + ebooks have been getting better and better since my big nudges in 2016.

But why isn't en-CA in the en-US default dictionary locale file, yet en-PH is in it; and why aren't en-AU and en-ZA in the en-GB default dictionary locale file, yet en-BZ, en-NZ, etc are in it. And if Ghana, why not Nigeria and Kenya? BR |

Different variants are taken care of by different people.
So... why is there no BZ + other variants? Probably because nobody has decided to create/maintain them... so until someone steps up and does quality work, it won't exist in other programs. - - - Side Note: If you want more info on generating such dictionary, see the talk from: where he described creating a new Czech dictionary.
