editImportant note: Although the language code "nan" is valid, it is actually a code representing the whole Southern Min language group (a.k.a. macrolanguage), while the language written in this test project is Teochew.
There is currently a proposal for to split the Southern Min language into seven languages. In this process, the Min-nan ISO code and language name will be retired.
The seven proposed individual languages within this macrolanguage are:
- 1. Xiamen (厦门话, also known as Amoy or Hokkien): xim
- 2. Chaozhou (潮州话, also known as Teochew): dzu
- 3. Hainanese (海南话, also known as Qiongwen): hnl
- 4. Leizhou (雷州话): lzy
- 5. Longyan (龙岩闽语): lyh
- 6. Zhenan (浙南闽语): znm
- 7. Zhongshan (中山闽语): zsh

- This was in response to the rejection of a proposal to replace nan with xim and dzu, but there is no new proposal on the ISO 639-3 website. (Discussion at meta:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Teochew) Kanguole 12:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

edit- The Southern Min languages part have their own template: Template:Southern Min, so I think this template may simplify the Southern Min part, just list the five subgroup, and give a link for the Template:Southern Min.--Liaon98 (talk) 12:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- For the record, the opposite happened, and Template:Min Chinese superseded Template:Southern Min. See Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 November 2#Template:Southern Min. Folly Mox (talk) 12:44, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
