I'd like to be able to make posts only containing noises without linguistic content, such as "meow" or "beep". Although transcribed into the English orthography, it's not really appropriate to call these posts to have English-language content. Luckily, ISO 639-3 provides the `zxx` code for these purposes. To quote [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3#Special_codes): > `zxx` (no linguistic content / not applicable) is intended for data which is not a language at all, such as animal calls.[13] I've had this addition on my personal instance for a couple of weeks, and I'm happy enough with it that I would like to share it with others. One issue that by virtue of having no linguistic content, it's not really possible to give a native name to this "language". I think "Toot!" is a thematically appropriate animal call which would work, but I'm happy to discuss this if you want something less whimsical.
