latgalian has long tradition of writing system. It was in 1918-1944 second
official language. Considering of dialect status is political. And there are
very active people which are working on latgalian language life. It's
dialect like neopolitanian or venecian. We say it's the language.

Hoi,
The code bat is a "collective code" for Baltic (other). Latgalian however
is
considered a dialect of Latvian and therefore it is not "other".

point
of
view, there is not even a proposed code to be
used for your proposed
Wikipedia that would be acceptable. Acceptable would be something like
"lv-latg" or "lav-latg" ..
There's a test wiki at

The code bat-ltv has been suggested.
