	MARC Code List for Languages
		The language codes are three-character lowercase alphabetic strings usually based on the first three letters of the English form or, in some cases, vernacular of the corresponding language name.
		Additional codes for individual languages are created from time to time when it becomes apparent that a significant body of literature in a particular language already exists, or when it is determined that the amount of material in a language is growing.
		Requests for new language codes are submitted to the ISO 639-2 maintenance agency, Library of Congress, (iso639-2@loc.gov) and balloted by the ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee.

	Greek language - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: Dhimotikí (Δημοτική), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and Katharévousa (Καθαρεύουσα), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, and scientific purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		The ancient languages which were probably most closely related to it, Ancient Macedonian language (which in fact is a dialect of Greek) and Phrygian, are not well enough documented to permit detailed comparison.
		Greek is the official language of Greece where it is spoken by about 99.5% of the population.

	Catalan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It shares many features with both Spanish and French, and is the language nearest to Occitan, and is often thought of as a sort of "transitional" language between the Iberian and Gallic languages when comparing the modern descendants of Latin.
		In Valencia, as in America, the language is generally rhotic (that is, final "r" is pronounced); in Catalonia, as in England, it generally is not.
		The language was spread to the south by the Reconquista in several phases: Barcelona and Tarragona, Lleida and Tortosa, the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, and transplanted to the Balearic Islands and l'Alguer (Alghero).

	Armenian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Armenian language (հայերեն լեզու, hayeren lezu, conventional short form hayeren) is an Indo-European language spoken by the Armenian people in the Republic of Armenia, in Georgia (especially in Samtskhe-Javakheti), Mountainous Karabakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and also used by the Armenian Diaspora.
		From the modern languages Greek seems to be the most closely related to Armenian.
		The written language of that time, called classical Armenian or Grabar, remained the Armenian literary language, with various changes, until the 19th century.

		The individual codes are based on the original name of the language if in Latin spelling or converted to the Latin script, except in a few cases where the appropriate national standardization organizations requested codes based on the English form of the language names.
		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.

	041 Language Code
		Field 041 contains three-character MARC alphabetic codes for languages associated with an item when field 008/35-37 (Language) is insufficient to convey full information for a multilingual item or an item that involves translation.

	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.

	Scope of denotation for language identifiers
		Languages are not static objects every instantiation of which is identical to every other; every language corresponds to some range of variation in linguistic expression.
		Macrolanguages are distinguished from language collections in that the individual languages that correspond to a macrolanguage must be very closely related, and there must be some domain in which only a single language identity is recognized.
		A collective language code element is an identifier that represents a group of individual languages that are not deemed to be one language in any usage context.

	Report on Language Codes Workgroup Recommendations
		These language codes will be supplemented by codes, to be created by LL, for all the attested extinct languages.
		For persistence of reference, once a code is assigned it should not be reused with a new reference, even if it is dropped (through a merger or split) from the officially supported list.
		However a mechanism for registration of variety/dialect codes proposed by individual investigators could be arranged in, for example, the OLAC metadata server, in such a way that use of the same code for distinct varieties or dialects of a single language could be avoided.

	Language Codes
		The construct of elaborated and restricted language codes was introduced by Basil Bernstein in 1971, as a way of accounting for the relatively poor performance of working-class pupils on language-based subjects, when they were achieving as well as their middle-class counterparts on mathematical topics.
		Restricted/condensed code is therefore great for shared, established and static meanings (and values): but if you want to break out to say something new, particularly something which questions the received wisdom, you are going to have to use an elaborated code.
		A class's own language grows up through its interaction and history: using it can be socially important (the shared laugh whenever a particular group member is mentioned is both a means of bringing most of the group together, and of course of excluding her), and powerful.

	Online Data - Language Codes
		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.

		A single language code may be insufficient to describe the language of an item.
		Accurate Lang codes are important because the system ignores initial articles according to the language of the text of the item when indexing corporate names and certain title fields.
		Use the code for the predominate language if the sound track or accompanying sound, printed script, titles or subtitles are in more than one language.

		These are the codes which allow browsers and screen readers to process data as the appropriate language.
		Language tags are also suggested so that search engines and screen readers parse the language of a page.

	Types of individual languages
		The criteria for identifying distinct languages in these case are based on intelligibility (as defined for individual languages).
		In the case of ancient languages, a criterion based on intelligibility would be ideal, but in the final analysis, identifiers are assigned to ancient languages which have a distinct literature and are treated distinctly by the scholarly community.
		In order to qualify for inclusion in ISO 639-3, the language must have an attested literature or be well-documented as a language known to have been spoken by some particular community at some point in history; it may not be a reconstructed language inferred from historical-comparative analysis.

		We are aware that many of the world's 6,500 languages are not well-represented on computers or the web, and we are committed to working with language speakers and computing organizations to support as many languages as possible.
		A "conflict" occurs when a country uses the same code as a language that is not widely used in that country.
		Some languages will require dialect/region specifiers on top of it, or don't have any 3-letter code to work with at all, so consistency isn't going to be achieved.

		Abstract This document describes a language tag for use in cases where it is desired to indicate the language used in an information object, how to register values for use in this language tag, and a construct for matching such language tags.
		The Language tag 2.1 Language tag syntax The language tag is composed of one or more parts: A primary language subtag and a (possibly empty) series of subsequent subtags.
		In most cases, reference to an authoritative grammar or dictionary of the language will be useful; in cases where no such work exists, other well known works describing that language or in that language may be appropriate.
