After ethnologue, eng, is only for England English and some variants around the world, not US/canadian english, but still U.S. Virgin Islands and Jamaica in America.

So what is the code for US English, that so much people view as really different than English one ??? This code are not perfect too, and should not be followed too much in my sense. The same for french, it's often really difficult for a French from France to understand Canadian French, mainly orally, and a little less in the text due to difference of grammar and vocabulary. So until there are ISO-639-3 codes for these variants, this isn't really revelant.
The English wikipedia article about the Khalkha dialect (that is sourced) says, as most linguist, that's a dialect, that is different from standard mongolian, and has difference that are found in
Chakhar Mongolian (the main dialect of inner mongolia), and oirat language...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalkha_Mongolian
The same way English Wikipedia article about Chakhar dialect, that is sourced too, seen this as a dialect of the standard (khalkha) mongolian language….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakhar_Mongolian
Again, mongolian language article classify chakhar and khalkha as dialects of mongoian (mn/mon), and say that few source say that buryat/oirat are dialects of the same language but that most disagree….
