Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm offering an international service to any country from any destination, The website main language is English and i have 4 other languages as subdirectories,

https://beassistance.com

https://beassistance.com/de/

https://beassistance.com/es/

https://beassistance.com/fr/

https://beassistance.com/ru/

I'm looking to target by language not country, Should i choose "unlisted" for all the subdirectories?

my second question regards the meta tags , my current meta tag

rel="alternate" hreflang="ru-ru" href="https://beassistance.com/ru/" />

And i'm thinking about using

rel="alternate" hreflang="ru" href="https://beassistance.com/ru/" />

Is that best practice to target by the language?

Update

I already have Hreflang Sitemap
