When my bot tries to add labels in uz-latn this fails with /api/error:code=not-recognized-language /api/error:info=unknown language: uz-latn uz-latn is a lang code used as variant at uzwiki: http://uz.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general json part that caused this error: {"labels":[{"language":"uz-latn","value":"Steve Wozniak","add":""},{"language":"uz-cyrl","value":"Стеве Wозниак","add":""}]}
uz-cyrl isn't accepcted, too.

As I said on bug 42420, this is simply because Uzbek has a language conversion but (unlike other languages with a language converter), the variants do not have separate MediaWiki localisations. It may make sense to just add uz-latn & uz-cyrl as falling back to uz.
The other way around. uz-latn == uz, and uz-cyrl should be extra or transliterated.

Is this something that needs to be handled in Wikidata or rather MediaWiki core?
