Faroese appears twice here: https://openlibrary.org/languages , under https://openlibrary.org/languages/far and https://openlibrary.org/languages/fao . We likely want to merge these two, and then update all records? This isn't something we've hit with languages before.
far language code for Faroese was deprecated in MARC 21 (https://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/language_code.html). far is however a valid ISO 639-3 language code for the Fataleka language (Spoken in the Solomon Islands).
There are actually more duplicate language names with different MARC codes:

Croatian | hrv | scr |
Esperanto | epo | esp |
Ethiopic | gez | eth |
Faroese | fao | far |
Frisian | fry | fri |
Galician | glg | gag |
Guarani | grn | gua |
Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) | ina | int |

Khmer | khm | cam |
Malagasy | mlg | mla |
Oromo | orm | gal |
Sami | smi | lap |
Samoan | smo | sao |
Serbian | srp | scc |

Sinhalese | sin | snh |
Sotho | sot | sso |
Swazi | ssw | swz |
Tagalog | tgl | tag |

This isn't something we've hit with languages before.
