$wgExtraLanguageNames['xyz'] = 'Language name';
Many BCP-47 tags are not supported out of the box by MediaWiki. If you need to add one, make sure that the array key is fully lowercase even if uppercase characters are part of the standard version of the code. For example:
$wgExtraLanguageNames["ja-latn-hepburn"] = "Japanese in Latin script using Hepburn romanisation";
# Do not write "ja-Latn-hepburn"
Notes
[edit]You may need to also add the prefix to $wgExtraInterlanguageLinkPrefixes for it to actually behave as an interlanguage link when defined.
