My proposal would be gem-pdc, in accordance with for example roa-rup

First, "gem" is a generic code for Germanic
languages, it is thus not
a code to use for a specific language. IF we are going to include this
language, you'll have to find another code for it. My proposal would
be de-pn, but I'll gladly give my opinion for a better one.
Having said that, it would be good if we could get some indication
showing that you are not the only one interested in setting up a
Wikipedia in Pennsylvania German. Perhaps you could look for other
interested people on the English village pump?

I am fluent in Pennsylvania German and I'd
like to do a WIkipedia in it. Pennsylvania German (or Pennsylvania Dutch, High German, or
many other names) is spoken by up to 100,000 people in the USA and Canada, mainly in the
states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa, and around the city of Kitchener,
Ontario. It is a blend of many German dialects but mostly unintelligible to someone who
speaks "regular" German (Deutsch). I am a native of the area and, while I'm
not a native speaker, I have taught myself the language.
Language Codes:
ISO 639-2: gem
SIL: pdc
Thank you!
