Dear Ms Hayes,
Try http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/tei/iso639.html
I've never found this problem, but I assume there is no problem to repeat
langmaterial.
Best Regards

Subject: Questions about LANGMATERIAL and ISO 639-2


> The Application Guidelines (pp. 47-48) recommend using the "3-letter code"
> from ISO 639-2 for the LANGMATERIAL attribute to the tag <archdesc> to
> indicate the language of the collection materials.
>
> 1) If you have multiple languages in a collection, do you indicate the
> *primary* language only? I assume there is no way to represent more than
one
> language here.
>
> 2) Where does one find this list of 3-letter codes?? I've checked all
the
> usual resources and find ISO 639 easily, which has 2-letter codes for
> languages. The Guidelines don't have any further information on this that
I

> Thanks for any help!
