However, most would agree that language is a system of communication or reasoning using representation along with metaphor and some manner of logical grammar, all of which presuppose a historical and at least temporarily transcendent standard or truth from which it is derived.
Many languages use gestures, sounds, symbols, or words, and aim at communicating concepts, ideas, meanings, and thoughts, though the problem of linguistic vagueness often rears its head when we try to distinguish between these aspects.
While the term animal languages is widely used, most researchers agree that they are not as complex or expressive as human language; a more accurate term is animal communication.

 ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2: International Standards for Language Codes. ISO 15924: International Standard for names of ...
Code set B provides for bibliographic applications which largely require unique recognition of individual languages and language groups and do not depend necessarily on language names, as they are not necessarily intended to be an abbreviation for the language.
Usually, all dialects of a language are represented by the code for the language but in a few cases, mostly as a result of historical circumstances rather than principle, codes are present for dialects - for example, in the case of Awadhi which is a dialect of Hindi.
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.

 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).

 Cover Pages: Code for the Representation of the Names of Languages. From ISO 639, revised 1989.
The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are relevant to SGML encoding in two respects.
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.
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.

 Locale (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
Returns the language code for this locale, which will either be the empty string or a lowercase ISO 639 code.
NOTE: ISO 639 is not a stable standard; some of the language codes it defines (specifically iw, ji, and in) have changed.
If both the language and country fields are missing, this function will return the empty string, even if the variant field is filled in (you can't have a locale with just a variant-- the variant must accompany a valid language or country code).

 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.
The languages listed in ISO 639-1 are a subset of the languages listed in ISO 639-2; every language code in the two-letter code set has a corresponding language code in the alpha-3 list, but not necessarily vice versa.

Macintosh codes sometimes have two variants, depending on the script the language is written.
Similarly, Microsoft codes are sometimes not script-specific and in cases where a language is not really properly identified without this information, the script information appears as well.
Macintosh constants and codes are defined in enumerations in the Mac header file Script.h and Windows constants and codes are defined in the Platform SDK header file winnt.h.

Croatian and Serbian have recently been recognized as two distinct languages due to the establishment of The Republic of Croatia as an independent nation.
Although both of these languages were once interpreted as dialects of the same root language, Serbo-Croat, the Croatian (Western) language uses Latin characters while the Serbian (Eastern) language uses both Latin and Cyrillic characters.

Specifying the language of the content provides the ability to distinguish and extract the content to provide automated or systematic translations of the elements in the native tongue when the default language does not match the one of the consumer.
The language is specified using the ISO Language code [ISO639-2] which is optionally followed by a dash '-' (U+002D) and the ISO Country code [ISO3166].
The ISO Language codes come in either two or three letter flavors, where the two-letter version is required in the case where there exist both a two and three letter version.

 Online Data - Countries Codes
Macintosh country codes, while generally unique, also occasionally distinguish different versions based upon language: this is again indicated by the ISO language code in parentheses.
Microsoft country codes are defined as constants in winnls.h and are identical to the values returned from their GetLocaleInfo API with the LOCALE_ICOUNTRY parameter (sometimes referred to as the IBM country code).
Software implementing Alpha-3 country codes should be aware of this change and be prepared to accept and interpret the older code "ROM" as a legacy alternate.

 Proposed ISO 639-2 code for Sign Languages
Although linguists have for decades recognized them as true languages, the world's Sign Languages, used by Deaf and hearing people, were overlooked during the drafting of ISO 639-2, the standard which specifies 3-letter codes to identify the names of languages.
A number of them require additionally one of the regional extensions specified in ISO 3166-2; some extensions are language codes taken from the Bibliographical codes found in in ISO 639-2 where further precision is required, such as where more than one Sign Language occurs in a country.
By convention, the language code is written in small letters, and the country code and regional extension are written in capital letters.
