List of ISO-639-2 codes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list contains all ISO-639-2 codes (both terminological [T] and bibliographical language codes [B, indicated by *]) along with the languages ​​they encode. The corresponding 184 ISO-639-1 codes and the respective 115 ISO-639-5 codes are also listed for these . There are a total of 482 codes, plus 20 other bibliographic language codes. This is supplemented by 4 special codings ([mis], [mul], [and], [zxx]) Note 1 and a code range of 520 reserved letter combinations ([qaa] - [qtz]) Note 2 for local use by Scientific institutions.

Lists of the total of 7863 ISO-639-3 codes (excluding special and local codes) that go beyond the scope of the ISO-639-2 codes are not part of this list, but can be found via lists of the ISO-639-3 codes .

In addition to the German language names, the ISO language names, which are usually in English, as well as native language names ( Endonym column ) can be found in the fonts used (in the usual writing direction).

The Type column indicates whether individual languages , macro languages , language families or special codes are involved.

The Status column indicates whether it is a living language , an ancient language , a historical language , a constructed language, or an extinct language .

In addition to further comments after the keyword "ISO also:", the Comment column gives alternative names to the English ISO names. So, in English, at [dec] next to Abkhazian and Abkhaz usual. In [ach], Acholi is also common in addition to Acoli , which in this case is also the German name of the language.
