I've got a new language I'm working on that I'm documenting in an Org file. Code samples for this language can be written in lisp-mode, but I want to use the new language's name for the SRC blocks for when I eventually write an Emacs mode for the language.

How can I alias #+BEGIN_SRC my-new-lang to open in lisp-mode?

    One option that doesn't exactly answer the question as asked is to simply define the new derived mode in elisp without giving it a new implementation: (define-derived-mode my-new-lang-mode lisp-mode "NewLang") – Sean Allred Mar 10 '17 at 10:18

Rather late (you've probably finished writing your language and written an Emacs mode for it), but perhaps still useful:

You can customize (or manually edit) the variable org-src-lang-modes. Without using customize:

(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes '("my-new-lang" . lisp))
