1. Language codes

I was interested to see the information on additional codes to the
_USMARC Code List for Languages_ and on the 1996 edition, in the recent
email Re: Changes in USMARC Code List for Languages

I would be interested to see a statement of how closely this maps to the
"Bibliographic (B)" column in ISO 639 part 2, and which gets published
first. ISO 639 is prepared by the ISO committee ISO 37 (Terminology).

                                   Yours sincerely
