+The following (private·use) language codes are reserved for languages
+  under development by users of this _Wiki_{as=cite}:8--:
+
+{role=note}
+:::
+The private·use subtags ranging from `qaa`–`qfy` are reserved by
+  Unicode for use with C·L·D·R and should not be used.
+:::
+
+|  code | language    |
+|------:|:------------|
+| `qho` | Eho         |
+| `qjl` | Jastulae    |
+| `qjt` | Jastugay    |
+| `qjx` | Pre‐Zheshoi |
+| `qlr` | Elrex       |
+
+Current recommended best practice is to actually use a primary subtag
+  of `art` (artificial languages) alongside an appropriate script tag,
+  and include the more specific subtag in the private·use area
+  (following `-x-`).
+Applications are unlikely to recognize specific private·use tags, so
+  using them as the primary subtag is of limited utility.
