  ISO 639 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 639 is one of several international standards that list short codes for language names.
The Ethnologue started using ISO 639-3 codes with the 15th edition.
ISO 639 consists of different parts, of which two parts are currently published.

 ISO 15924 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 15924, Codes for the representation of names of scripts, defines two sets of codes for a number of writing systems (scripts).
Where possible the codes are derived from ISO 639-2 where the name of a script and the name of a language using the script are identical (example: Gujarātī ISO 639 guj, ISO 15924 Gujr).
ISO 15924 could be used, similar to ISO 3166, in addition to ISO 639, which defines codes for natural languages, for instance in markup languages like HTML and XML to help Web browsers determine which typeface to use for foreign text.

 ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2: International Standards for Language Codes. ISO 15924: International Standard for names of ...
ISO 639-2 was the result of a joint undertaking in which TC37/SC 2 invited participation of representatives from ISO's Technical Committee 46 (Information and Documentation) Subcommittee 4 (Computer Applications in Information and Documentation).
ISO 639-2 recognizes that in some cases agencies will want to provide codes for dialects which are not present in the standard; thus, the codes qaa through qtx have been reserved for local use.
Another ISO project of relevance to the theme of this workshop is the effort currently in progress by TC46/SC2 (Conversion of written languages) to produce a code list for the representation of names of scripts.

ISO 15924:2004 provides a code for the presentation of names of scripts.
The codes were devised for use in terminology, lexicography, bibliography and linguistics, but they may be used for any application requiring the expression of scripts in coded form.
ISO 15924:2004 also includes guidance on the use of script codes in some of these applications.

 Re: lowercased Unicode language tags ? (was:ISO 15924)
The problem with language tags is that using ISO 3166 codes (which are defined by administrative divisions rather than by linguistic regions) is a workaround.
And there is evidence that: - administrative regions that have a code in ISO 3166 are covering several linguistic regions which will still need their distinction in language tags.
So RFC 3066 language tags (not ISO 639 language _codes_) are for now a nightmare to handle, with the problem even more serious by the inclusion of ISO 3066 which was clearly not done for language classification but for administrative and legal usages...

 Tags for Identifying Languages
Codes assigned by ISO 639, ISO 15924, or ISO 3166 that are withdrawn by their respective maintenance or registration authority remain valid in language tags.
Codes assigned by ISO 639, ISO 15924, or ISO 3166 that do not conflict with existing subtags of the associated type but which represent the same meaning as an existing subtag of that type are entered into the IANA registry as new records.
For ISO 3166 codes, if the newly assigned code's meaning is associated with the same UN M49 code as another 'region' subtag, then the existing region subtag remains as the canonical entry for that region and no new entry is created.

The 2-letter code language code standard ISO 639-1: Codes for representation of names of languages, has still not yet been published: this was designed to replace ISO 639: Codes for representation of names of languages, by removing some errors and adding codes for more languages.
ISO 639 (and its imminent replacement, ISO 639-1) remains a subset of ISO 639-2.
It was also planned to freeze ISO 639-1 so that no new 2-letter codes are added, to avoid duplicate codes being in use.

Under the new proposal, "all 4-letter subtags are interpreted as ISO 15924 alpha-4 script codes from ISO 15924, or subsequently assigned by the ISO 15924 maintenance agency or governing standardization bodies, denoting the script or writing system used in conjunction with this language.
All 2-letter and 3-letter subtags are interpreted as ISO 3166 alpha-2 (or alpha-3) country codes from ISO 3166, or subsequently assigned by the ISO 3166 maintenance agency or governing standardization bodies, denoting the area to which this language variant relates.
ISO 15924 does allow for variant scripts, such as Latf for the Fraktur variant of Latin, or Latg for the Gaelic variant.

ISO 15924 does not attempt to apply the character-glyph model, because it is sometimes important to identify certain script variants regardless of the encoding a given text may employ.
The four-letter codes are derived from ISO 639-2 where the name of a script and the name of a language using the script are identical (example: Gujarātī ISO 639 guj, ISO 15924 Gujr).

 Re: lowercased Unicode language tags ? (was:ISO 15924)
Not really: Many ISO 3166-3 codes (for former countries or territories or those that have changed their code) are also 4 letters.
And there are also ISO 3166-2 codes for administrative regions in countries (such as FR2B for the department of Haute-Corse in France).
I think that the wording of TUS 4.0 chapter 15 may create confusion, unless this confusion is already handled in RFC 3066 related to language tags (in which ISO 639, ISO 15924 and ISO 3166 are only defining a part of its subtags).

 ISO 15924   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The FDIS from February 2003 states that "The four-letter codes SHALL be written with an initial capital Latin letter and final small Latin letters" (emphasis mine).
Although this is a useful convention and aids readability, I would suggest -- without any authority -- that it is only a convention and not an absolute requirement for use of the codes, just as the analogous conventions to express ISO 639 and ISO 3166 codes in all-lowercase and all-uppercase, respectively, are just conventions.
ISO 15924 alpha-4 codes are already distinguishable from ISO 639 and ISO 3166 codes, simply by virtue of being four letters long.

For example, 'Latn' is an ISO 15924 script code (which can be used as a script subtag in a language tag) The rules in this section apply to the various subtags within the language tags defined in this document, excepting those "grandfathered" tags defined in section 2.2.1 of this document.
ISO 639 defines a maintenance agency for additions to and changes in the list of languages in ISO 639.
However, should the ISO registration authority or standard expand the allowable 3-character tags so that this is not possible, then this may be any other valid registration (such as CS2003, marking the year of introduction).

For instance, [ISO 3166] [4] recommends that country codes be capitalized (MN Mongolia), while [ISO 639] [3] recommends that language codes be written in lower case (mn Mongolian).
For example, 'Latn' is an ISO 15924 [2] script code (which can be used as a script subtag in a language tag) The rules in this section apply to the various subtags within the language tags defined in this document, excepting those "grandfathered" tags defined in Section 2.2.1.
The following rules apply to the script subtags: o All 4-character subtags are interpreted as ISO 15924 alpha-4 script codes from [2], or subsequently assigned by the ISO 15924 maintenance agency or governing standardization bodies, denoting the script or writing system used in conjunction with this language.

For a concrete illustration of the stability problem with the current ISO codes, suppose that a database uses ISO 3166 country codes to mark people's birthplaces.
Because of the use of ISO 3166 in key language codes such as RFC 3066, this also invalidates language codes.

Work has begun to get nine (9) of the published character set standards developed by Working Group 1 registered and assigned escape sequences so that they can be used according to the code extension techniques specified by ISO 2022.
The standards involved include ISO 5426-2 (Extended Latin: Part 2, Minor European and obsolete typography), ISO 6630 (Bibliographic control characters), ISO 6861 (Glagolitic), ISO 6862 (Mathematics), ISO 8957 (Hebrew), ISO 10585 (Armenian), ISO 10586 (Georgian), ISO 10754 (Extended Cyrillic for Non-Slavic), and ISO 11822 (Extended Arabic).
The agenda of the meeting will include a discussion of the need to identify repertoires of characters within ISO 10646 (Universal coded character set), formulation of comments on the draft of ISO 15924 (Script codes), and work on getting characters from WG1 sets missing in ISO 10646 added to that standard.
