  ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2: International Standards for Language Codes. ISO 15924: International Standard for names of ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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.

 SILEWP 2000-001
ISO 639-2 states that it is intended to serve these users, but its procedures severely limit its ability to scale to cover the diversity of languages that linguists are interested in.
The minimum-document requirement and the careful review of each request for an addition to ISO 639-2 appears to be intended for two purposes: to ensure that the proposed language is indeed of interest to bibliographers, and to ensure that the proposed language is, without dispute, a distinct language worthy of inclusion in the standard.
Because ISO 639-x has categories for individual languages and also has categories that are presented as though they are individual languages but which in fact are groups of related languages, it may be unclear to users what is intended.

 Codes for the representation of names of languages (Library of Congress)
ISO 639 provides two sets of language codes, one as a two-letter code set (639-1) and another as a three-letter code set (this part of ISO 639) for the representation of names of languages.
ISO 639-1 was devised primarily for use in terminology, lexicography and linguistics.
This part of ISO 639 represents all languages contained in ISO 639-1 and in addition any other language as well as language groups as they may be coded for special purposes when more specificity in coding is needed.

 ISO 639 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 639 is one of several international standards that list short codes for language names.
ISO 639 consists of different parts, of which two parts are currently published.
For these languages, the first three-letter code is for bibliographic use (ISO 639-2/B), and the second three-letter code is for terminological use (ISO 639-2/T).

 Tags for Identifying Languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
All 4-character subtags were defined according to ISO 15924[2]--"Codes for the representation of the names of scripts": alpha-4 script codes, 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 ISO 639 codes, if the newly assigned code's meaning is not represented by a subtag in the IANA registry, the Language Subtag Reviewer, as described in Section 3.3, shall prepare a proposal for entering in the IANA registry as soon as practical a registered language subtag as an alternate value for the new code.
For ISO 15924 codes, if the newly assigned code's meaning is not represented by a subtag in the IANA registry, the Language Subtag Reviewer, as described in Section 3.3, shall prepare a proposal for entering in the IANA registry as soon as practical a registered variant subtag as an alternate value for the new code.

Second, the WSD (Writing System Declaration) implemented in the Text Encoding Initiative uses the [two-character] language code of ISO 639 (as amended) as a language.code attribute of the nat.language declaration, specifying the language in which the WSD is written.
ISO 639:1988 is a technical revision of ISO 639: 1967, prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 37.
The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are recognized as being inadequate for use as SGML language attributes when tagging text, viz, for use as global lang attributes attached to any element to identify the language of the text element or a language shift.

 ISO 639 and the Ethnologue
ISO 639, Code for the representation of names of languages (Geneva, International Organization for Standardization, 1998), is the most widely known standard for language identification codes.
First, since both the ISO 639 and SIL code sets are widely used, many are interested in making the two code sets interoperate in applications.
Second, the documentation in ISO 639 that defines what each language code stands for consists of little more than a name in English and French.

 ISO - International Organization for Standardization
This part of ISO 639 provides a code consisting of language code elements comprising two-letter language identifiers for the representation of names of languages.
The language identifiers according to this part of ISO 639 were devised originally for use in terminology, lexicography and linguistics, but may be adopted for any application requiring the expression of language in two-letter coded form, especially in computerized systems.
The alpha-2 code was devised for practical use for most of the major languages of the world that are not only most frequently represented in the total body of the world's literature, but which also comprise a considerable volume of specialized languages and terminologies.

 ISO 639 and the Ethnologue
The motivation for publishing this mapping between ISO 639 language codes and the languages identified in the Ethnologue is two-fold:
In many cases determining the mapping from a given ISO 639 code to one or more languages identified in the Ethnologue is far from straightforward.
The tables are in tab-delimited format and have only two columns: the first column is the ISO 639 code and the second column is the SIL code for a corresponding Ethnologue language.

 ISO 639-3 Registration Authority - SIL International
ISO 639-3 (which is currently a Draft International Standard) attempts to provide as complete an enumeration of languages as possible, including living, extinct, ancient, and constructed languages, whether major or minor, written or unwritten.
ISO 639-3 is a code that aims to define three-letter identifiers for all known human languages.
The large number of living languages in the initial inventory of ISO 639-3 beyond those already included in ISO 639-2 was derived primarily from Ethnologue (15th edition).

Very briefly: ISO 639-3: alpha-3 code for "all" "individual languages" that are not included in 639-2 (somewhere between 6000 and 7000).
ISO 639-2 contains some language groups, but it has been felt to be necessary to "clean up" this part of language coding.

 Cover Pages: Code for the Representation of the Names of Languages. From ISO 639, revised 1989.
A revision of ISO 639 completed late 1990 is described as supplying 3-character language codes (following MARC 3-character language codes in part), based upon the code sequence of the American National Standard (ANSI Z39.53).
It remains to be seen whether these new ISO 639 3-character codes qualify mnemonically for use in SGML tagging and if the set is complete.
The changes were publicised, but they have not been included in printed versions of ISO 639.

In ISO Council document 36/2003, and further in note AIC021-03: "Public availability of country, currency and language codes", there is a proposal for charging of ISO codes from ISO Infrastructure Standards such as ISO 3166 (country codes), ISO 4127 (currency codes), and ISO 639 (language codes).

'''ISO 639-3''' is in process of development as an international standard for language codes.
It extends the alpha-3 code in ISO 639-2 with an aim to cover all known languages.
It is, therefore, a superset of ISO 639-1, and of the individual languages in ISO 639-2.

The first is bibliographic (ISO 639-1/B) the second for terminological (ISO 639-2/T) use.

 [No title]
For instance, [ISO 3166] recommends that country codes are capitalized (MN Mongolia), while [ISO 639] recommends that language codes are written in lower case (mn Mongolian).
The reason for reserving all other tags is to be open towards new revisions of ISO 639; the use of "i" and "x" is the minimum we can do here to be able to extend the mechanism to meet our immediate requirements.
ISO 639 defines a maintenance agency for additions to and changes in the list of languages in ISO 639.
