Mr. Hjalmarson: It would also be helpful if you could provide a little info about your application scenario. In particular, if you need metadata elements used in public interchange protocols, then that might be significant: some protocols may already specify use of alpha-3 identifiers from ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3, or may specify derivative conventions such as IETF BCP 47 that reference these other parts of ISO 639. Peter Constable From: ISO 639 Joint Advisory Committee [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Christian Galinski Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 9:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: AW: List of ISO 639-1 codes Importance: High Dear Mr. Hjalmarson, I have forwarded your request to colleagues of ISO/TC 37, but I think that it should be properly dealt with by the Joint Advisory Committee of ISO 639 „Codes for the representation of names of languages“. Could you please specify what you mean under - “machine language”? (I assume not programming language) - “multi-language”: in what sense? (several languages in one text, same representation for a semantic unit in several languages?) - “undefined language”? In any case there seem to be more needs for language symbols around than we could so far foresee… Any “individualistic” solution without international coordination will sooner or later lead to incompatibility/interoperability problems.

Is there any information that you can provide in guidance on what to use if we want to identify - manchine language - multi-language - undefined language What would be the recommendation for to identify the above "languages"? If we are to assign "own codes" for to identify the above "languages" what are we to consider? - what characters are not to be used - how many characters Best regards, Mikael Hjalmarson ________________________________ From: Dorothée Eichfelder [mailto:[log in to unmask]]<mailto:[mailto:[log in to unmask]]> Sent: den 16 juni 2011 18:47 To: Mikael Hjalmarson Cc: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: List of ISO 639-1 codes Dear Mr. Hjalmarson, You will find the requested list of ISO 639-1 codes together with the list of ISO 639-2 codes at: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php Please don’t hesitate to contact us, if you need further information.
