BTW, me and @Nikerabbit found a satisfactory solution for this at Wikimania 2016: in a certain regular expression, simply, instead of searching for the substring at the beginning of a language name, search for it at a word boundary. Not sure why is it not implemented.

OK, now Serbian appears, but with Serbian Cyrillic and Serbian Latin as separate languages. This means that all the Serbian content entered so far, which was entered under the code 'sr', will not be available. Has there ever been a discussion to use two separate codes for Serbian language? Was there a final decision? If yes, what could be done about old content?

Nikola_Smolenski updated subscribers of T7309: Localize captcha images.

Serbian (sr) is strange too. I think both Latin and Cyrillic are official there, but isn't it strange to ask for people to change input method (from Latin to Cyrillic, and vice versa) in the middle of captcha, like here?

Nikola_Smolenski added a comment to T138973: Show languages that a wiki community added to the top of the interlanguage list in the Compact list.

As I see it, the actual code change that is needed is that compact interwiki lists should have the feature to "force" some languages into the list - either by having a configuration parameter for that, and/or by recognizing Wikibase's sortPrepend.

I guess this could be solved if all the languages with names that have multiple words would have the words as aliases, so that they are matched by prefix. I guess Bahasa Melay is already this way.

Similarly, when I go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and click on the gear icon next to "Languages", I get the "Language settings" window; now when I click on "Input" and "Enable input tools", the list of languages I get under "Language used for writing" is "English, shqip, magyar".

Well that workaround is not at all obvious, since while entering "sr", "srp", "srps" etc. only "srpskohrvatski" would appear, leading users to think there is no Serbian. It's not just that the search by language code fails, it's that the search by prefix fails too.
