Hi,

I was wondering if it’s possible to add cantonese language to the list of language ? Its ISO 639-3 code is “yue”.  
Maybe adding a few other Chinese language in the process ([ISO 639-3 - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3)). Maybe Taiwan has some Minnan “nan” release out there…  
I live in HK, Cantopop produced a lot of Cantonese works, and I have a app that would use the difference between mandarin and cantonese…

Also, I notice some release are in simplified Chinese, while it was originally sold in traditionnal Chinese script. Is it somehow on purpose ?  
For instance : [Release “Kwan Gor” by 吳業坤 - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release/5da0ee48-33b9-4923-8cbc-7e72fb97a15c/disc/1)

Thanks !

It’s already available, under its official ISO name “Yue Chinese”
