LANGUAGE CODE
A 'language code' is a code that assigns letters or numbers as identifiers for languages. Often used language codes include those of ISO 639, particularly ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2. Internet standards commonly use IETF language tags, which are based on ISO 639.
Formerly common were the old SIL codes, but these are obsolete now that SIL uses ISO 639-3.
As an example, French has the code
★ ISO 639
★ Ethnologue (SIL code)
★ Linguasphere language code
★ IETF language tag
★ Language Identifiers in the Markup Context
★ RFC 4646
