No problem.

As with SIL / ISO-639-3 following line would be of interest:
sgg     CH      L       Swiss-German Sign Language
(see: http://www.ethnologue.com/codes/LanguageCodes.tab)

With ISO-639-2 the following one:
Germanic (Other)  	germaniques, autres langues  	gem
(see: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html#gh)

639-2 is too generic, what to do?
