To explain my changes on July 2: I think Nikki was right to point out that
"mix-x-und" isn't appropriate, as it would have been a subgroup of "mix" and
not of Mixtec languages. As jhsoby mentioned "mix" is just for "Mixtepec
Mixtec", not any Mixtec language. There are dozens of other three-letter codes
for these. All Mixtec languages seem to be included in "Oto-Manguean languages"
("omq"), thus the request for "omq-x-mixtec" ("undetermined Mixtec language").
We could use "mis" (because we haven't created the code) or "und" (because the
exact code is undetermined) for the same, but a distinct code might make it
easier to handle them later on. The "-x-" sequence introduces a use specific to
Wikibase/WMF.
From a practical side, given that it may be a continuum of languages and the
classification into dozens of codes may not be entirely certain nor stable, it
might not be easy or useful to determine the current code for a Mixtec name (or
other word). As the new code in Wikibase/MW is to start collecting names with
monolingual text properties, we don't really know beforehand how many there
will be.
I don't think either code should be made available for labels. If you want to
create the code "mix" for "Mixtepec Mixtec" as well, I don't mind.
