vi vs. vi_VN local codes
Greetings,
I am looking for some clarification on the use of values in the language field for Zotero.
My understanding is that the values in this field should line up with those in CSL which are enumerated at: https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales/wiki
What this would mean for vietnamese would be that "vi" is invalid, while vi_VN is valid.
Is that a correct understanding?
I further understand that nonblank or non "en" values will result in capitalization in CSL based output being turned off.
Is that also correct?

FWIW: two letter codes should not be considered on the basis of their ubiquity, but rather on the basis of their merit as prescribed in BCP47, which calls for their use on the basis of ISO639-1 and then supplements ISO639-1 with ISO639-3 for languages not covered in 639-1.
