The second example is not valid according to BCP-47
http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47

Language codes of five to 8 characters must be registered. the registry is here
http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry

Note that ISO 639-3 provides three codes for Frisian:

frr|||Northern Frisian|frison septentrional
frs|||Eastern Frisian|frison oriental
fry||fy|Western Frisian|frison occidental

ISO 639-1 notes that the unregistered term "Frisian" is deprecated in favour of "fy"
