Toki Pona

Requesting this on behalf of Wisdom (call_me_boss.) since they never made a suggestion forum and don't know what MD's stance on this type of language is...
Wisdom came on the discord server asking about it, [Link]

"Toki Pona is a constructed language with a small vocabulary that's designed to be simple and easy to learn"

I am pretty sure one of the hard requirements is the language must be in ISO 639-1*.

* There are a couple custom language codes that are an exception

Edit: API docs https://api.mangadex.org/docs/3-enumerations/#language-codes--localization
Yes, I'm aware that they use 639-1 but can't exceptions be made, I remember a dev saying "[We/MangaDex] use 639-1; tho it's not necessarily impossible to add it, I guess" in a upload request channel that I do not have to access to now [Link (No access for me at least)], So maybe in the future it could be possible?

P.S. I am interested in your self-accepted history and how manga became a part of your group.
