I am not the specialist in the field, but I will happy to make the
contact... but while building a new cataloging system I was again irritated
by the limitations of the ISO language lists and started to cinsider the
much better listing of the Summer Institute of Linguistics instead and make
an ISO 639 mapping to that.

Also ther are other variants like Surinami-Hindi and Surinaams-Javaans
