Oh, so whatever's in the ISO-639-3, which was not written by anyone very knowledgeable on the whatever-thousand languages it gives codes to, can trample what pretty much everyone in the scientific community who studies this agrees to, what is found on the ground, and what the actual speakers themselves know and do? The only dialect of Occitan for which there is a 'separatist' movement with more than a handful of members is Provençal; there is no one in the limousin-speaking community advocating a 'limousin language'.
