Description
### Feature request
Currently, there are only several Sign Language labels, I would like to propose adding all the Signed Languages as new labels which are described in this ISO standard: https://www.evertype.com/standards/iso639/sign-language.html
### Motivation
Datasets currently only have labels for several signed languages. There are more signed languages in the world. Furthermore, some signed languages that have a lot of online data cannot be found because of this reason (for instance, German Sign Language, and there is no German Sign Language label on huggingface datasets even though there are a lot of readily available sign language datasets exist for German Sign Language, which are used very frequently in Sign Language Processing papers, and models.)
### Your contribution
I can submit a PR for this as well, adding the ISO codes and languages to the labels in datasets.
