List of ISO 639 language codes

(Redirected from List of ISO 639-1 codes)

ISO 639 is a standardized nomenclature used to classify languages.[1] Each language is assigned a two-letter (set 1) and three-letter lowercase abbreviation (sets 2–5).[2] Part 1 of the standard, ISO 639-1 defines the two-letter codes, and Part 3 (2007), ISO 639-3, defines the three-letter codes, aiming to cover all known natural languages, largely superseding the ISO 639-2 three-letter code standard.

Table

This table lists all two-letter codes (set 1), one per language for ISO 639 macrolanguage, and some of the three-letter codes of the other sets, formerly parts 2 and 3.

Entries in the Scope column distinguish:
