Gives two sets of three-letter alphabetic codes to represent the names of languages, one for terminology and the other for bibliographic applications. Code sets are the same except for twenty-five languages with variant language codes because of the criteria used for formulation. These codes were originally devised to be used by libraries, information services, and publishers to indicate language in the exchange of information, especially in computerized systems.
