Normalize the language code to lowercase with hyphen separators, and check if it's wellformed.
Valid language tags are hyphen-separated lists of subtags, each subtag having 1 to 8 letters or digits, but
the 1st subtag can only contains letters. BCP 47 (RFC 5647, September 2009) defines this ABNF syntax:
- Language-Tag = langtag / privateuse / grandfathered
- privateuse = "x" 1*("-" (1*8alphanum))
- langtag = language ["-" script] ["-" region] *("-" variant) *("-" extension) ["-" privateuse]
- language = 2*3ALPHA ["-" extlang]
Wikimedia uses some legacy codes that match these rules but do not respect BCP 47 because they are
unregistered or map to unrelated languages. It also still uses one grandfathered tag (zh-min-nan).
--]]
lang = lang:gsub('_', '-'):lower()
if lang:find('^[a-z][%-0-9a-z]*[0-9a-z]$') ~= 1 then return nil end
-- Very fast lookup of language code, and not limited in the number of supported languages.
local v = overrides[lang]
if v then return v end -- Return it if it's mapped.
--[[
Check if there's a 4-letter script variant subtag (from ISO 15924) after an hyphen.
Note that Wikimedia uses the legacy code 'roa-tara', not conforming to BCP 47, where 'tara' would
be reserved for a script code, but this still doesn't conflict with current ISO 15924 script codes.
If ever ISO 15924 assigns it, this would only affect 'roa' which is not even a conforming code for
an ISO 639-1/2/3 language, but only for an ISO 639-5 family, but we first check the full 'roa-tara'
above as an override before looking up generic script codes with other language codes here.

v = lang:find('%-[a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z]$') or lang:find('%-[a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z]%-')

v = overrides[lang:sub(v, v + 4)]
if v then return v end -- Return it if it's mapped.

Used via a template {{Dir|language-code|wikitext if rtl|wikitext if ltr}}
which just calls {{#invoke:Dir|main}}, the 3 parameters are automatically trimmed:
* Parameter 1 takes the default value from {{Int:Lang}} if it's empty or not specified.
* Parameter 2 can be named rtl, may be explicitly empty, otherwise takes the default value 'rtl' only if it's not specified.
* Parameter 3 can be named ltr, may be explicitly empty, otherwise takes the default value 'ltr' only if it's not specified.
