Three-letter language codes
according to ISO 639-2
This is an extract of ISO/DIS 639-2 Draft International Standard: Codes
for the representation of names of languages, Part 2: Alpha-3 code.
There are two sets of alpha-3 language codes, one for terminology use
(ISO 639-2/T) and one for bibliographic use (ISO 639-2/B).
The alpha-3 codes are written in lowercase only, comprising characters
from the set [a to z]. There is another part of the standard, ISO 639-1, that consists of two-letter codes
for languages. All languages with two-letter codes also have three-letter codes. Future
development of language codes will be based on the name in the native tongue, unless
another language code is requested by the country or countries using the language.
The registration authority for ISO 639-2 is the Library of Congress,
Washington, D.C. 20540 USA (c/o Network development and MARC Standards Office).
After five years from the adaption of the standard, the following code
may be used as a terminology code: esp Spanish
