I'm rather suprised by this, matching the 184 ISO 639-1 codes against a
stock mime.types from media-types 3.0.0 I find 23 conflicts (16 if we
exclude the /x- MIME types):

HTTP daemons may ignore our /etc/mime.types, but as of nginx 1.18.0-6
from sid the default config has conflicts for

  ps Pushto | application/postscript ps ai eps epsi epsf eps2 eps3
  pl Polish | text/x-perl            pl pm

AFAICT Debian's apache uses /etc/mime.types by default (so the above
applies), but docs/conf/mime.types from the source tree has conflicts
for

  cu Church Slavic    | application/cu-seeme                 cu
