yes, my mistake. I was editing both trv and nan locales at the same time
and just copied the metadata over... will fix it soon.

While we are at it:
1. ethnologue is not the authoritative data regarding language codes.
That's ISO 639-3.
2. There has been a proposal filed at ISO 639-3 to split the nan code
into dzu and xim, reflecting the Chaozhou and Xiamen dialects. As they
group the Taiwan dialect into the Xiamen group, we should probably use
xim_TW in future... ? (
