6. Any other relevant information:

This registration adds the Description field "Sercquiais" to the primary
language subtag 'nrf'. Sercquiais is the variety of Norman French spoken
on the island of Sark in the Channel Islands.

ISO 639-3, which added code element [nrf] in 2015, lists "Jèrriais" as
the reference name and "Guernésiais" as an additional name; these
varieties are spoken on the islands of Jersey and Guernsey respectively.
