This is a extract of ISO/DIS 639-2 Draft International Standard,
titled "Code for the representation of names of languages,
Part 2: Alpha-3 code" with a termination of the vote 1996-10-23.

Typed in by Keld.Simonsen@dkuug.dk 1996-12-03

There are two sets of alpha-3 language codes, one for terminology
use (ISO 639-2/T) and one for bibliographic use (ISO 639-2/B).
The alpha-3 codes are written in
lowercase only, comprising from the set abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
There is another part of the standard ISO 639-1 that consists of
two-letter codes for languages. All languages with two-letter codes also
have tree-letter codes. Future development of language codes will be based on
the name in the native tounge, unless another language code is requested by
the country or contries using the language.

The registration authority for ISO 639-2 is: Library of Congress,
Washington, D.C. 20540 USA (c/o Network development and MARC Standards Office).

After 5 years from the adaption of the standard, the following code may be
used as a terminology code:
